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!

kfishgirl's Reviews:

The first three books of the Lunar Chronicles

Cinder (Book 1) by Marissa Meyer

Scarlet (Book 2) by Marissa Meyer

Fairest (Book 3.5) by Marissa Meyer

by 1 Comment

Let me start out this review by saying SPOILERS BELOW!  After the first picture, all bets are off.  I can’t review these books without using details, because some of them get me feisty.  I actually wrote these reviews on paper last night because I had many #feelings.  I randomly found this series from my library through the Overdrive app.  I’ve listened to all three books that way.  Cinder is #1, Scarlet is #2, and Fairest is #3.5.  I’m on a waiting list for #3, but I figured that since Fairest is more a of a prequel / backstory, I could […]

A headlesss classic AND (totally unrelatedly) a short story about an attempted suicide

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving

The Day I Died by E. B. Black

by Leave a Comment

I read this because it was short and a classic.  I’ve seen the movie, but somehow I never had to read this book.  It took me a couple nights reading while I was laying in bed at night.  It was definitely interesting, but it was a little slow.  I honestly don’t read a lot of classics, so it could just be that I’m not used to the pacing of books written a long time ago. I don’t know.  I didn’t love it, and I didn’t hate it.  I just wrote another review where I felt like nothing really happened.  I […]

She fell in love with the islands first

The Tenth Island by Diana Marcum

by Leave a Comment

So I originally picked this book last year for CBR bingo.  I didn’t get around to it in time though, so I read it this year as my fifth book of the year. We start out with reporter Diana Marcum (the author, duh) kind of floating through life.  She’s not having fun or loving her life.  She’s not entirely happy in her career either. She somehow stumbles across a group of immigrants living in California.  They came from a set of islands in the Atlantic Ocean called the Azores.  Their main language is Portuguese. The immigrants tell her about the […]

He thinks she’s his angel

Blood for Blood (Ziba MacKenzie #1) by Victoria Selman

by Leave a Comment

OMG.  This is the second series (maybe EVER) that I started at the first book!  I don’t remember how I found it, but it might’ve been a Kindle First book. Ziba Mackenzie is a profiler of Israeli descent who was married to a Scotsman.  Her husband had died about a year prior and she was called back into work to profile a new / old / new again serial killer. She starts out getting into a train crash.  Her cop instincts kick in and she starts to try and save people.  One lady says “he did it, you have to […]

Her husband’s secret could destroy multiple families AND This one will be their last anniversary

The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty

The Last Anniversary by Liane Moriarty

by Leave a Comment

So my sister has been reading and recommending to me Liane Moriarty books for a few years.  I have sooo many books on my TBR list, so it took me a while to get started.  I found this one on my library’s audiobook loan list.  Not only was it an awesome book, it was read by an Australian, so it sounded even more awesome.  I was listening to this book in my car and while I walked my dog at night around the park.  I’m all in now though! Anyway, there are a few main characters in this book, and […]

Her mom was a serial killer

Truth and Lies (DI Amy Winter #1) by Caroline Mitchell

by Leave a Comment

This is the first book in the “DI Amy Winter” series.  Somehow I started this series at book one!  That literally never happens. DI Amy Winter is a Detective Inspector in England.  She’s working on living up to her father’s reputation as a police officer.  He had just recently died, and she found out that he wasn’t her biological father.  Unfortunately that meant that her adopted mother wasn’t her biological mother either.  Shockingly Amy’s mother is an infamous serial killer named Lillian, who was part of a serial killing team. Amy starts to have flashbacks about her past after she […]

When you’re punished, you get bumped to the late show

by

by Leave a Comment

This book is somehow the beginning of a series. If you ever read a review of mind before you know that I always start series in the middle, so it’s weird that I started this one of the beginning. Anyway,  This 1st book is about detective Renee Ballard, who was placed on the night shift, which is where the police officers go when they’ve misbehaved. Unfortunately for rene, she didn’t actually misbehave. She just accused her supervising officer of sexual harassment, and nobody backed her up. She’s a good cop stuck on the night shift, and she never gets to […]

More Gideon and Sirius

Gideon's Rescue (A Gideon and Sirius Novel Book 4) by Alan Russell

by Leave a Comment

This is the fourth book in the Gideon and Sirius series.  I believe I’ve read all four of them in this current Cannonball.  After reading to the end, the author said he’s got at least two more books in the works.  Hopefully I’ll get to read and review them for CBR11! In this book, Gideon ends up working about three cases at once.  They all kind of sneak up on him while he’s going about his life.  He’s volunteering at Angie’s Rescue (or Heather’s Rescue, I can’t remember).  The woman he saved in one of the previous books (Heather) opened […]
