The World’s Game

Soccer Against the Enemy by Simon Kuper

December 12, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

More travelogue than polemic, Soccer Against the Enemy, or Football Against the Enemy if you prefer, is Simon Kuper's account of his journey around the world in search of universal truths and local particularities about the world's most popular sport. It's an audacious project for Kuper, one he … [Read more]

Halloween Nora Roberts is not the best Nora Roberts

The Pagan Stone by Nora Roberts

December 12, 2022 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

Halloween Nora! This one definitely felt more Halloween-y and thriller-focused than romance-focused. It’s the third in a trilogy and I’m here to tell you that you don’t need to have read any of the others to understand what’s going on here (you’ll ‘spoil’ the ending to the other two in that a) all … [Read more]

Your great vacation does not a book make

Poets and Pahlevans by Marcello Di Cintio

December 12, 2022 by Wanderlustful Leave a Comment

Turns out I prescient in picking this up from my TBR pile, as not long after I started reading it, the Mahsa Amini story and related protests propelled Iran into the headlines again. Poets & Pahlevans is Marcello Di Cintio’s travelogue of his journeys through Iran in the early/mid 2000s … [Read more]

Goldie Vance The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera

Goldie Vance volume 1 by Hope Larson

December 12, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I read the Goldie Vance novel, The Hotel Whodunit, before the graphic novel Goldie Vance volume 1 (though based on the comics) because the novel was due before the graphic novel at the library. However, I do not think I would have liked or disliked any differently if I had read in reverse. Both … [Read more]

A very long book for an ending I did not expect.

Icebreaker by Hannah Grace

December 12, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

This was a really strange read. It felt like reading fanfic, but not the good fanfic, the fanfic that people think you get when you read fanfic - really long and pointlessly indulgent. This was going to be a 3 star read, because even though it needed a lot of editing, and 150 fewer pages, it wasn't … [Read more]

Almost 6 miles

9 Kilometers by Claudio Aguilera

December 12, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I remember as a kid not wanting to get up and go to school. It was a chore and all I had to do was get up, eat a prepared breakfast, and get dressed. The sun (and my mom) was already up for at least an hour or two. I had to wait for the bus to drive oh five-ten minutes down the road. When they … [Read more]

    I'm excited for this one. And according to your scale, it will be my favorite since I liked Camp Damascus...
