What a rollercoaster…

An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon

August 3, 2021 by postcardsandbooks Leave a Comment

So I didn’t know this book had been last year’s cannon book club pick until I just finished it about an hour ago and conflicted about how I felt about it, decided to search for reviews so I could read how other people felt about it. And WOW, guys. You did not disappoint. I read about 8 reviews and I almost feel like writing anything would be useless at this point because you have said it all. And I could easily just pick and choose […]

This book was supposed to help with my anxiety – not exacerbate it

Notes on a Nervous Planet by Matt Haig

July 5, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 2 Comments

Watch me use my exceptional capacity of being a slacker to my own advantage when I profit off my backlog of 10+ unreviewed books to tick boxes off the CBR Bingo card like it’s nobody’s business. This was not planned, by the way – I’m just a slacker by nature. And to be honest, this is actually very much in line with the theme for this particular book, which is supposed to be all about managing anxiety. For those of you who don’t know Matt […]

How the hell did I miss the book club?

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

July 2, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 2 Comments

So anyway – I read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy for the #CannonBookClub back in April. And then I proceeded to never find the link to the chat and completely forget about all things book club. And then I didn’t know if I could post a review before hand so I was overthinking everything and got so behind on reviews that I now have 8 books to review. Wow… talk about slacking. So I’m welcoming myself back 🙂 Now on to The Hitchhiker’s Guide […]

How fast after a book is published is too soon to post a review?

Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells

April 28, 2021 by postcardsandbooks 4 Comments

So Murderbot book 6 came out yesterday. Yes, I admitted I had a problem last time, so I think we should all accept it and move on. What can I say? Let’s start with the basics: Fugitive Telemetry is a novella (yay!), works as a standalone adventure, and takes place chronologically before the events of Network Effect. I want to point this out because it’s the one thing that slightly disappointed me. After the end of Network Effect, I was expecting Murderbot to go off […]

A satisfying end to the year’s re-read

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson

**there are spoilers for book 2 in this review** I am finally done with my Millennium trilogy re-read. And I have to say, the whole thing holds up. I am again having a similar issue with book two, in that I finished it a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be rapidly slipping from my mind, but that’s okay. It gives me the chance to re-read it again and be surprised 10 years from now. So let’s see. The third book in the […]
