#CBR10Bingo: This is the end – Magic Triumphs

Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews

by 2 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: This is the end This is the tenth and final book in a long running series. As such, there may be spoilers for the contents of at least previous books, as well as mild spoilers for the plot of this one. More importantly, it is NOT the place to start. The proper place to begin is Magic Bites. The book is a bit rough, but stick with it, this series is among the best paranormal fantasy out there. I’ve spent more than eleven hours on a train from Canada today, and then more than an hour getting back from Penn Station, […]

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing – Kilmeny of the Orchard, or most likely my worst book of the year

Kilmeny of the Orchard by L.M. Montgomery

by 5 Comments

#CBR10Bingo: This Old Thing (published in 1910) Spoiler warning! There will be a number of spoilers for the plot of this book, because the only way I will be able to fully vent my spleen on this atrocious piece of writing is by going into minute detail about the MANY things I found dumb, objectionable or downright offensive in this book. You might as well allow yourself to be spoiled, this book is bad and you don’t actually want to waste time reading it. Eric Marshall has just graduated college and knows that his future is secure. He is going to work […]

Find your inner superheroine

Heroine Complex, Heroine Worship, Heroine's Journey by Sarah Kuhn

by Leave a Comment

SPOILER WARNING! As I’m reviewing all three books in a trilogy, it’s going to be difficult for me to discuss the books without minor spoilers, especially in books 2 and 3, as they naturally follow on from and develop stuff that’s gone before in the series. So if you want to approach this series entirely spoiler free – you may just want to read the synopsis for book 1. #CBR10Bingo: Heroine Complex: So it begins Heroine Complex – 4.5 stars Evie Tanaka is the long-suffering and ever patient personal assistant to Aveda Jupiter, San Francisco’s favourite superheroine. Friends from girlhood (when Aveda was still Annie […]

“There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t”

Turtles All the Way Down by John Green

by Leave a Comment

Aza Holmes doesn’t have a lot of friends, and her best friend Daisy, a gregarious and outgoing fan fiction writer, sometimes finds her a bit exhausting. This is not surprising, as Aza struggles with anxiety and OCD. When local billionaire Russell Davis Picket goes missing and there is a reward offered for news of his whereabouts, Daisy remembers that Aza knows his son. Daisy orchestrates a scenario so that Aza can reconnect with Davis, who she hasn’t seen for a few years. Aza and Davis met at a camp for children who’d lost parents. Aza’s father died, as did Davis’ […]

#CBR10Bingo: Birthday – All the Crooked Saints

All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater

by Leave a Comment

#CBR10 Bingo: Birthday (Ms Stiefvater’s birthday is November 11th) From Goodreads, because it sums it up nicely: Here is a thing everyone wants: A miracle. Here is a thing everyone fears: What it takes to get one. Any visitor to Bicho Raro, Colorado is likely to find a landscape of dark saints, forbidden love, scientific dreams, miracle-mad owls, estranged affections, one or two orphans, and a sky full of watchful desert stars. At the heart of this place you will find the Soria family, who all have the ability to perform unusual miracles. And at the heart of this family are […]

#CBR10 Bingo: Backlog – Outcast

Outcast by Adrienne Kress

by Leave a Comment

3.5 stars #CBR10Bingo: Backlog (has been on my TBR list since June 2013) Riley Carver lives in a little town somewhere in the Southern USA. For the past six years, on a particular day, angels come from the heavens and take away some of the townspeople. One year ago, the angels took Riley’s best friend, almost boyfriend, Chris. So she’s refusing to to leave the house (even though the whole town is supposed to the public celebration – or face strong censure), and when she sees an angel in the backyard, she shoots it in the face. Imagine her surprise when […]

“Sometimes we get it wrong the first time. But you only have to get it right once.”

The Start of Me and You by Emery Lord

by Leave a Comment

#CBR10Bingo: Brain Candy A year ago, Paige’s boyfriend died in a tragic drowning accident, and she is still suffering from nightmares and is known around town as “the girl whose boyfriend died”. She hasn’t been able to even get near a pool since it happened. It seems like everywhere she goes, she gets “the look” of people who don’t really see her, but just associate her with the dead boy she’d dated for two months before his life was tragically cut short. Determined that she needs to move on and reclaim her life, Paige makes a list of tasks to […]
