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 not sure if I liked this book or not.

Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey

by Leave a Comment

This is a strange book.  It’s basically an adult thriller told through the eyes of a pre-teen girl.  At times it’s hard to remember that the main character and the voice of the story is only 12.  At other times it’s glaringly obvious. There are basically two stories here.  They both hold approximately equal weight throughout the book.  Unfortunately only one is truly resolved at the end. Cassie is a 12 year old girl in Minnesota who lives on a farm.  Her sister is about […]

Prep school drama

Drowning with Others by Linda Keir

by Leave a Comment

I love books like this.  I feel like it’s a common writing style these days, and I like it.  We flip back and forth between the current time when two high school sweethearts are visiting their daughter at boarding school.  There’s a presentation of a new writer in residence who’s teaching a journalism course.  They learn that the teacher plans to have his class investigate the death of a previous writer in residence whose body was newly discovered. Unfortunately the parents (Andi and Ian) knew […]

This guy sees dead people

Forgotten Bones (Dead Remaining Book 1) by Vivian Barz

This book was a Kindle first read I believe, so I didn’t pay any money for it.  Thankfully, I liked it! The story is split into two distinct story lines for the first (approximately) half of the book.  Eventually they come together, but let’s stick to the split stories for now. There’s actually a totally different story at the very beginning.  There’s a couple driving home from a bar, and the lady gets frisky.  They end up crashing into a telephone pole, and someone finds […]

Of course the guy on trial for murder didn’t do it!

Dead Center (Andy Carpenter Book 5) Kindle Edition by David Rosenfelt

by Leave a Comment

This is book five of the Andy Carpenter series.  I borrowed the audiobook (on CD) from my library.  I’m reading this series in whatever order I can grab the books.  I think I read 1, 2, and 8 already.  I have books 4 and 6 at my house from the library, but I just DO NOT read real books anymore.  Especially hardcovers – they’re so heavy!  I’m generally a laying down reader, and real books tend to fall on my face.  I like to read […]

I hated this book – whoever would put up with this crap (in the book) hates themselves!

Here to Stay by Mark Edwards

We start out with a guy named Elliot.  He’s got a nice house, a nice job, and a small fortune from doing science experiments on a TV show.  He’s graciously opened his garden up to visitors during the annual garden show in his town.  He seems like a good guy. Unfortunately a woman named Gemma shows up to the garden show and wanders around his yard.  Elliot gets stung by a bee while she’s there, and she drives him to the hospital, which is basically […]
