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!

Somebody wanted to kill the whole LAPD bomb squad

The Bomb Maker by Thomas Perry

by Leave a Comment

cbr10bingo… Brain Candy Ok so this book is about a bomb maker who’s planting bombs throughout Los Angeles in the hopes of killing bomb squad technicians.  How is this brain candy you ask?  Well, to me building a bomb, and/or diffusing a bomb is escapism.  I will never do either in my life, and hopefully never even see one, so it doesn’t get more escapy than that! I read the audiobook version of this book.  At first, I almost laughed out loud at the guy’s voice, and I didn’t think I was going to be able to finish the book.  […]

All Dogs Go to Heaven

The Rainbow Bridge: A Visit to Pet Paradise by Adrian Raeside

by 2 Comments

cbr10bingo… Two heads are better than one Even though it’s called two heads are better than one, I went with three heads.  I enlisted the help of my two nieces.  Olivia is eight and Nora is six.  They’re awesome, and they love dogs, and they love reading. This review is both happy and sad.  We read this book because I lost my little guy Ernie this spring.  It was the hardest thing I’ve had to go through in a long long time. He was a sweet, loving, and batshit crazy little ball of fluff.  I loved him so much, and […]

Who is actually in harm’s way here?

In Harm's Way (Walt Fleming #4) by Ridley Pearson

by Leave a Comment

This is the fourth book in a series I started at number three.  I did go back and read one and two after three though!  And then on to four.  I like this character – Sheriff Walt Fleming, and the supporting characters – Brandon (the sheriff’s right hand man who is dating his ex wife), Fiona (the crime scene reporter who Walt is in love with), and Beatrice (the lovable dog).  You know I’m a sucker for a dog, and she’s a good one!  She’s very well trained, and she can track people.  She got hurt at the end of […]

I highlighted the crap out of this book

Feast: True Love in and out of the Kitchen Kindle Edition by Hannah Howard

by 4 Comments

cbr10bingo… Delicious! So the subtitle of this book is “true love in and out of the kitchen”, and it applies to both self love and love of someone else.  This is the author, Hannah Howard’s true story about her life of eating and eating disorder.  From the very start of this book, I could relate to Hannah.  Thankfully (for me), she was way more messed up than I ever was, but she might be further along in her recovery journey than I am too.  Thankfully none of the abusive romantic relationships hit home for me, just the food stuff.  I’m […]

Whoah, this girl is messed up – BINGO

Before I Met Him: a chilling psychological thriller by John Nicholl

by Leave a Comment

cbr10bingo… Cover Art THIS IS MY FIRST BINGO!  (I plan on having more, but we’ll see)  I chose this book for “cover art”, because it’s obviously a cool / disturbing cover. We start out the story with a British detective (or inspector, or whatever rank he was at the time) talking to a family about how the pedophile who sexually abused their six year old daughter won’t be brought to justice.  It’s devastating to both the family and the detective, because he’s a bad dude and he did some real harm. Flash forward fifteen (I think) years, and the little […]

I wish I liked the characters more

Sunburn by Laura Lippman

by Leave a Comment

cbr10bingo… Underrepresented I really wish I liked the main character more.  I picked this audiobook (in CD form) up from the library on a whim.  The cover looked cool, and the story sounded interesting.  I’m always up for a murder mystery with a dash of hidden identities. The main character is Polly / Pauline.  She starts out by abandoning her daughter and husband on their beach vacation and driving to Delaware.  I don’t know if this was the point, but I didn’t like her right from the beginning.  She seemed selfish, self-absorbed, and kinda bitchy.  It appeared that she always […]

John Rain goes to Rio

Winner Take All (A John Rain Novel Book 3) by Barry Eisler

by Leave a Comment

So after the events of book two, where John almost gets killed a few times, he activates his escape plan.  John had been cultivating a false identity in Brazil for years in the eventuality that he’d need to get out of Japan and start a new life. Unfortunately, one of the women he met in Japan is actually from Brazil, and she returns home and they start seeing each other again.  She unknowingly (he thinks knowingly) leads them to John, and he’s almost killed again.  Once the CIA finds him, they want him to be their “natural causes” assassin again. […]

I wanted to laugh more!

My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands by Chelsea Handler

by Leave a Comment

cbr10bingo… Alabama Pink I listened to this book, which I think is the optimal way to read it.  It wasn’t narrated by Chelsea, but the narrator was good.  I read this for cbr10bingo, and it was my Alabama Pink choice.  I remember when CBR first started, and I thought “there’s no way I can read that many books”, and now I’m on my fourth CBR and kicking ass.  I love it.  Bingo is a new and exciting twist this year that’s just making me want to read more! Anyway (I bet “anyway” is the most used word in my reviews), […]
