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!

The start of a new creepy series

Relic (Pendergast #1) by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child

February 3, 2021 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

The idea of this book is just so fantastical.  There’s a beast killing people in the Museum of Natural History in NYC.  Like come on.  But it totally works (at least for me)!  I read this book because I love Douglas Preston.  He made me scared of bats in the wild and bleeding through my eyes (reasonable fears I think). This is apparently the debut novel for the Pendergast series.  I had no idea it existed, but I’m so glad I found it.  I have […]

I’m just getting into the Bosch series…

The Black Echo by Michael Connelly

The Black Ice by Michael Connelly

February 2, 2021 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

So apparently the fictional detective Harry Bosch has been around almost as long as I have.  The Black Echo was published in 1992.  I mean I was born in 1981, so it’s basically the same thing!  Anyway, I didn’t know about him for a while.  He was actually in another book I read by Michael Connelly a few years ago, as there’s apparently a Harry Bosch Universe!  He was an old man in that book though. Harry Bosch is a fairly young man in this […]

My first CBR post since 2019

Inferno (Robert Langdon #4) by Dan Brown

February 2, 2021 by kfishgirl 4 Comments

This is my first CBR review since 2019. I’m not sure what happened last year (aside from the global pandemic), but it just kind of got away from me. I just checked Goodreads, and I read 55 books last year, so I totally could’ve hit another Cannonball. I just didn’t have the energy to review them. I think the problem was that I waited too long to start. I read a few books in January, but I also had this huge investigation I was writing […]

I’m not sure if I liked this book or not.

Unspeakable Things by Jess Lourey

December 18, 2019 by kfishgirl 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

December 11, 2019 by kfishgirl 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 […]
