I love to read. I'm usually reading at least 3 books at a time. They're not all good... some are really bad. I have trouble not finishing books though. Now CBR has doubled down on that trouble, because I want to get credit for reading the bad ones too!

I’m finally finishing the Newsflesh trilogy

Blackout by Mira Grant

by Leave a Comment

NEWS FLASH: I started this trilogy from the beginning!  See, I reall can do it! So this book took me a few months to read. It actually took me a few months to remember that I bought it and had at one time been excited to read it. I basically loved book one, and almost hated book two. I liked parts of this book and other parts were a little slow. It was also (unnecessarily) over six hundred pages long. I’m gonna go ahead and spoil the beginning of this book… actually if you read book two, it’s not even a […]

Gideon and Sirius find a lost dog… but is the human lost too?

Lost Dog (A Gideon and Sirius Novel Book 3) by Alan Russell

by Leave a Comment

This is the final book in the Gideon and Sirius series.  As I noted in my earlier G&S reviews, I love Sirius. Obviously he’s my favorite character. Gideon is OK, especially because of the way he treats all dogs. I don’t remember how this book actually started, but the action really began one night when Sirius heard a dog outside in trouble. Sirius woke up Gideon and basically dragged him outside to see what was wrong with the dog.  She had been attacked by a pack of coyotes, and it look like she had been traveling for a long time. […]

Charles Wallace joins the Murray kids’ adventures

A Swiftly Tilting Planet (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet) by Madeleine L'Engle

by Leave a Comment

A Swiftly Tilting Planet is the third book in the Time Quintet.  In A Wrinkle in Time, Meg, Calvin, and Mr. Murray had all the adventures.  In A Wind in the Door, it’s again Meg and Calvin with the addition of Meg’s former principal (Charles Wallace’s current principal).  Book three finally lets Charles Wallace start adventuring!  He also gets a unicorn to ride around on. The Murrays get a shocking phone call at Thanksgiving dinner.  There’s a dictator in Patagonia (I think) who wants to bomb everyone.  Calvin’s mom basically charges Charles Wallace with saving the world.  It’s a little […]

More Gideon and Sirius – and Sirius lives through the whole book!

Guardians of the Night (A Gideon and Sirius Novel Book 2) by Alan Russell

by Leave a Comment

So this is book two of the Gideon and Sirius series.  Sirius is again one of the two main characters, and he’s just as lovable as in the first book.  Gideon’s ok too.  He’s a little childish, but I don’t find him that annoying.  I read a few Goodreads reviews for these books, and a lot of people noted that Gideon’s constant puns and joking around are annoying.  I’m a big fan of puns.  My dad’s a big punner (made up word), so that endears me to people who pun (definition of punner). This case is a weird one.  A […]

We continue our adventures with Meg, Charles Wallace, and Calvin!

A Wind in the Door (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet) by Madeleine L'Engle

by Leave a Comment

This is book two of the Time Quintet, and it happens a little while after A Wrinkle in Time.  I’m a bit of a completionist (word?), so I want to read the whole Time Quintet. This book was only about 210 pages long, and it was a pretty quick read.  I think I read it in three short sittings.  It has all my favorite characters – Calvin, Charles Wallace, and Meg.  I actually like Meg more in this book than I did in A Wrinkle in Time.  She’s less whiny and a little bit tougher.  She still has a great […]

The dog lives again!

Burning Man (A Gideon and Sirius Novel Book 1) by Alan Russell

by Leave a Comment

I apparently borrowed this book from Amazon Kindle Unlimited over a year ago.  That fact does not reflect the quality of the book.  Sometimes I just go on book-borrowing rampages Aaaaanyway… This is book one of the Gideon and Sirius series.  Gideon is the man (a cop), and Sirius is the dog (also a cop).  When I was first looking to read this book, I asked a question on Goodreads to make sure Sirius didn’t die.  I figured that since it was the Gideon and Sirius series, he’d be ok, but I wasn’t taking any chances!  It really helped me […]

A little girl gets kidnapped, but Joe’s on the case…

Conflict of Interest (Joe Dillard #5) by Scott Pratt

by Leave a Comment

So this is book five of the Joe Dillard series.  Like I’ve said in my previous four reviews, I like the characters in these books.  Nearly immediately, we’re thrown into the story of a little girl (I think she’s 5 or 6) being kidnapped from her bed.  Joe’s wife Caroline taught the little girl in dance class for years, so she’s nearly part of the family.  As soon as they hear about the kidnapping, Caroline makes them go over to the couple’s neighborhood and look for the little girl.  Obviously they don’t find her, or it’d be a 14 page […]

He’ll be watching you… OR She’ll be watching you…

I Am Watching You by Teresa Driscoll

by Leave a Comment

I think this might’ve been a Kindle First?  I can’t remember.  I do remember (because I just finished it last night) that I liked it though! This book goes through the classic question of “If you saw something not quite right, would you do something about it?” A woman (Ella) sees two young girls on a train.  Two recently released convicts (she finds out while casually listening to the conversation) strike up their acquaintance on the train.  Ella is alarmed and wants to call someone / report it / do something.  Then she hears one of the girls having sex […]
