June 30, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

I was dealing with work turmoil and on vacation for most of June so I didn’t get the chance to write as many in depth reviews as I’d have liked to. Which is a shame because some of these deserved a longer look; I just didn’t have the time or energy… The Cage **** I went back-and-forth on my review. I’ve been giving out a lot of 4-star reviews lately and considered docking the book for that reason since it’s very borderline. But the more I […]

When having nosy neighbors is a good thing

Postscript Murders by Elly Griffiths

June 30, 2022 by Bothari43 3 Comments

A murder mystery where the victims are authors of murder mysteries! This one had to be fun to write. It’s the second book with detective Harbinder Kaur (after Stranger Diaries), but I don’t think you have to read the first one to jump in. This was a great example of “group of nosy civilians gets involved and digs up clues while making the actual police officer’s life more complicated” genre. The civilians are a nurse at a care home, an 80-year-old resident of that care […]

A touch of science and romance

Below Zero by Ali Hazelwood

June 29, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

After finding Ali Hazelwood through a recent book club book, I’ve been reading her trio of romantic STEM novellas. Below Zero (2022) is the second novella that I’ve read, and it has what I’ve come to expect from Hazelwood. There’s a smart science-y woman, a hunky hero, friendship, a misunderstanding, and in the end: a happily ever after. This one I listened to on Audiobook. Hannah has always known that she wants to work at NASA, and that knowledge has motivated her to succeed through a lot of schooling–even […]

Allergic to an audiobook.

Fevered Star (Between Earth and Sky, #2) by Rebecca Roanhorse

June 29, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 26/30 I’m sad that I’m rating this three stars, but it’s representative of my experience listening to the audiobook. If/when I re-read, I think I will like it better. Also, when I see where the story is going in book three. Sad face. My biggest takeaway from this book is that I found it extremely difficult to make everything that was happening cohere into a story in my mind. Everything felt so disconnected, and so I was […]

“By making me a bitch, you have freed me from the trite, sexist, bourgeois prison of ‘likability.’ Any idiot can be liked. It takes talent to scare the crap out of people.’

Confessions of a Prairie Bitch by Alison Arngrim

June 28, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

30 Books in 30 Days, Vol. 2 Book 23/30 This was great. I’m not normally a fan of celebrity memoirs, because in my experience the books are often being written just because the celebrity wants to write a book, and there’s no literary reason for the book to exist. I don’t mean that in a snobby way, but more in the way that said celebrities just don’t have anything to say, or they think they have something to say but they are often wrong. Alison Arngrim […]
