Running Way Behind on Bingo

Becoming by Michelle Obama

Emergency Contact by Mary H.K. Choi

October 10, 2020 by Tracy Leave a Comment

CBR12 Bingo: Uncannon (Becoming) and Reader’s Choice as a replacement for Yellow (Emergency Contact) Who knows? If I get around to finishing the book I have on the song “Hallelujah,” I might actually finish a Bingo line. Anyway, on to the reviews. I read these books long enough ago that I have forgotten a lot about them and what my thoughts were about them, but I’ll try my best. Atthough, when it comes to Becoming, I’m sure plenty of other reviewers have said it better. […]

I Don’t Care What Anyone Says, This Is Not a Romantic Comedy

You Deserve Each Other by Sarah Hogle

July 31, 2020 by Tracy Leave a Comment

CBR 12 Bingo: Debut I’m still on my kick of wanting to read witty, contemporary romance, but honestly I’m starting to wonder if I have the same definition of “witty” or “funny” as other people. Just like The Hating Game and Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, reviewers describe Sarah Hogle’s debut novel You Deserve Each Other as witty, funny, laugh-out-loud, etc. The thing is, witty banter and teasing, or even teasing that goes a little too far, are very different from being mean, and Naomi […]

July 27, 2020 by Tracy Leave a Comment

CBR12 Bingo: No Money! This was an Amazon First Reads book. Cleo McDougal is a 37-year-old U.S. Senator and single mom to 14-year-old Lucas.

Doesn’t Seem Worth Continuing the Series

Moving Violation by Melanie Jackson

July 23, 2020 by Tracy Leave a Comment

CBR12 Bingo: Fresh Start Moving Violation is the first book in the Chloe Boston Cozy Mysteries series. Chloe is a 20-something meter maid working for the Hope Falls Police Department. She wants to be a regular officer, preferably a detective, but at 5 feet tall and 98 lbs, she was unable to pass the physical exam. Her father, who was police chief at the time, allowed her to join the Traffic and Parking division anyway. Chloe is disrespected by some of the other officers (possibly […]

A Sweet Romance

The Flatshare by Beth O'Leary

July 20, 2020 by Tracy Leave a Comment

CBR 12 Bingo: Money! (I think this fits the category.) So, the flat that is being shared is a 1-bedroom. More specifically, a 1-bed. Tiffy and Leon, our romantic leads, have an arrangement in which they will only ever be in the flat when the other person is out. Leon works nights as a nurse and spends the weekends with his girlfriend (until they break up), and Tiffy works a day job and gets to have the flat on weekends. By agreement they each sleep […]
