A House With Good Bones

A House With Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

December 28, 2022 by Classic 2 Comments

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not effect my rating or review.  The main thing I will say is that this novella reads really similar to T. Kingfisher's "The Twisted Ones." At one point I wondered if I had accidentally started re-reading it. But even though it hits … [Read more]

Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardous

The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager

The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

December 28, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Girls Made of Snow and Glass (3 stars)-Not bad, but I started to get bored halfway through the book. Liked both characters points of views (Mina and Lynet), but I started wanting the story to go faster. I liked the idea of these two characters really wanting the other to be more (Lynet wanting Mina … [Read more]

The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher

December 28, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

The Christmasaurus is exactly what you expect from a Christmas story about a dinosaur who is blue, one of the kind, and lives at the North Pole. I mean I have seen candy canes less sweetly sugary than this Tom Fletcher story! That does not make it a bad book, just predictable for the adult … [Read more]

The Time of our Singing by Richard Powers

Galatea 2.2 by Richard Powers

December 28, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Galatea 2.2 - 4/5 This is a reread from when I was in grad school, so something close to 20 years. I'd first heard of this book and Richard Powers from a selection being anthologized in the Norton American lit. It's a weird book to anthologize because of how cohesive the entirety of the book is … [Read more]

24 Hours of Dark? Hey, Let’s Paaarty!

The Geography of Bliss: One Grump’s Search for the Happiest Places in the World by Eric Weiner

December 28, 2022 by elderberrywine Leave a Comment

Well this was an odd duck.  Weiner, a former correspondent for NPR, decides to check out the common lists for happiest nations on Earth (circa 2008) to see if, indeed, are they?  Some names generally Scandinavian) crop up all the time, and others are less common.  And for good measure, he tossed in … [Read more]
