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!

Smaller Mass Update #3: Books about a guy who owns a dog or two

Open and Shut by David Rosenfelt

First Degree by David Rosenfelt

Dog Tags by David Rosenfelt

by Leave a Comment

Ok these three together actually makes sense!  They’re all from the same series, and they’re all about a lawyer who loves his dog.  Any one of these books can fulfill my “I Love This” bingo square, because I love dogs, and I love legal thrillers.  In real life, I love dogs more, so don’t worry about me! Here’s #1!  I again started a series at book number 1.  I think CBR is reforming my ways. In this book, we’re introduced to Andy, who is a defense lawyer.  We’re to understand almost immediately that he’s one of the good guys.  Anybody […]

Review #1: Nothing to Lose.  This is book two in the Ziba MacKenzie series. Ziba’s a profiler helping out the cops in London.  She’s called to the scene of a murder of a woman.  There was apparently another woman killed there just over a week prior, and they both somehow look like Ziba. She’s not one to freak out, but she’s a little unnerved. She’s also secretly investigating her husband’s murder, and someone or multiple someones are starting to catch on.  Ziba found a flash drive two years after her husband hid it.  When she tries to talk to the […]

Massssss Update #1!! Here are some books I read in the past few months that I didn’t love.

Castaways by Brian Keene

All These Beautiful Strangers by Elizabeth Klehfoth

What You Did by Claire McGowan

Losing My Best Friend by Jeannie Wycherley

by 3 Comments

OK so the last time I posted a review was back in May.  It’s been a bit of a weird time since April.  I lost my pup of 10 years (he was 15), and I’ve been mourning him for a little bit.  He was my buddy for so long, and it took me / is still taking me some time to figure out life without him.  The first few weeks were weird because I was still worried about him.  Now I just miss him.  Here’s his smiling face in case anyone wants to see Oscar:   Anyway, now I’m back.  […]

Werewolves live among us

Red Moon by Benjamin Percy

by Leave a Comment

Ugh.  OK.  This one was a little rough.  It was such a good concept, but it was sooooo slow.  I think the audiobook was about 20-21 hours.  It probably could’ve been 10 and it would’ve been better. The premise is that some people in the world are werewolves.  They were “infected” with a prion originated in wolves.  I nerdily enjoyed the backstory of the disease.  I could’ve listened to more about that! It starts out strong too.  Patrick Gamble is on a plane flying to a different state (Oregon?) to live with his mom while his dad goes to the […]

The Philadelphia Legal gang is back

An Engineered Injustice (Philadelphia Legal #2) by William L. Meyers Jr.

A Killer's Alibi (Philadelphia Legal #3) by William L. Meyers Jr.

by Leave a Comment

Ok guys, this is a two for one deal!  I ready the first book in this series a few years ago, and kinda lost track of the author.  Thankfully Amazon remembered, and let me know when two more books in this world were available. An Engineered Injustice is Book 2 in the Philadelphia Legal series.  Like I said above, I didn’t even know it was a thing.  Just as the first book centered around one of the lawyers in the group, this book centers around a different one.  Vaughn Coburn is the lawyer we care about this time.  His cousin […]

The queen’s private hacker

Cress (The Lunar Chronicles book 4) by Marissa Meyer

by Leave a Comment

This is the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series.  At the end of the last book, we got the whole gang together (Cinder, Thorn, Scarlet, and Wolf) to try and overthrow Queen Levana.  They decided to enlist the help of the queen’s own hacker named Cress.  Cinder and Thorn are most wanted fugitives, so they need all the help they can get. They find out about Cress, who is trapped in a satellite and under the thumb of Levana’s thomiturge (literally no clud how to spell that) Sybil.  There’s an ill-fated rescue attempt, and they all get separated, some […]

John Rain is back

Redemption Games (John Rain #4) by Barry Eisler

Extremis (John Rain #5) by Barry Eisler

by Leave a Comment

This is Book number four in the John Rain series. John’s last job didn’t go so smoothly, and he almost died in Hong Kong.  He’s also now working for the Mossad, and kinda sorta working with his sometimes girlfriend Delilah.  He gets hired to eliminate a target in Manila, and after tailing the man for a while, realizes that he has a family.  For some reason the kid’s face flashes before John’s eyes when he’s about to kill the man, and he can’t do it. There’s a big cluster, and eventually the Mossad wants John dead because of the muck […]

Your voice isn’t the only thing they can take away

Vox by Christina Dalcher

by 1 Comment

So this book took me a while to read.  It was an audiobook, so I usually listened to it after dinner while taking my dog for a walk.  It took a while because it was almost painful to read.  It’s set in a dystopian future where all women have a bracelet with a word counter on their arms.  They’re only allowed 100 words per day.  If they go over their count, they get burned.  Literally. We get dropped into a family with one daughter and three sons.  Of course the daughter has a word counter bracelet on.  She’s young, so […]
