I’ve been reading a ton, but just don’t feel like writing, so here’s a review dump.

You'd Be Mine by Erin Hahn

Regretting You by Colleen Hoover

Get a Life, Chloe Brown by Talia Hibbert

Reader, I’ve been reading a bunch of random books, with absolutely no direction in my life. Sitting at home and just trying to get out of my own head by getting into someone else’s. These are three of them. I liked some better than others, but they all had interesting bits. Here they are, in order of least favorite to most beloved. You’d Be Mine was a random Kindle download I picked up when the whole RWA thing blew up, and I had seen Erin […]

“This is how all Noirs end, with a hug.”

Cut and Run by Ben Acker, Ben Blacker

Cut and Run was one of my free Audible Originals last month. It is an absurd little story about a rag-tag team of organ harvesting good guys down in Mexico. Honestly, its best not to care too much about the plot, because, as I said, it is absurd. But this thing has a murderer’s row of a cast! It was a delight to listen to from start to finish. The performers really raised the quality of the material. We have D’Arcy Carden as Sam, the […]

“If you’re ever feeling poorly about yourself, about your lack of achievement, your utter inconsequentiality, your ridiculous little life lived in the shadows—take a moment and write some Internet reviews of other people’s work.”

A Load of Hooey by Bob Odenkirk

by 3 Comments

For those who take part in the annual Pajiba 10 voting, you may know me as the person who, year after year, picks nine random people to go on my list behind the great Bob Odenkirk. I’ve been a massive fan since back in the days of The Ben Stiller Show, The Larry Sanders Show, and, of course, Mr. Show. He’s provided us with some of the greatest comedy sketches ever. I mean, come on. SNL. Ben Stiller. Mr Show And yes, sure, he’s also […]

Today is only February 1, and I already find myself way behind in reviews for 2020.

American Royals by Katharine McGee

How can I already be so far behind? I always have such good intentions with reviewing…and I am great about keeping up with the reading. I just never find the time to sit down and think and type. Thus, I gift to you these three quick reviews for books that were FINE. First, Love Lettering, a book I never would have heard of if I hadn’t been obsessively following all of the tweets about the RWA meltdown over the holidays. I somehow stumbled across some […]

All hail Karen, queen of the mic drop book ending.

One of Us is Next by Karen M McManus

by 2 Comments

Disclaimer: Karen McManus and I went to college together. I am very good friends with her old roommate. Karen has been a huge supporter of the Cannonball Read in the past. I would never review one of her books if I wasn’t going to give it a big thumbs up. And so, with that out of the way, I’m happy to report that One of Us is Next, the sequel to her fun and amazingly popular debut, One of Us is Lying, is just as […]
