A Strange and Stubborn Endurance by Foz Meadows

by Leave a Comment

When I first finished this in July and gave it five stars, I predicted that most people wouldn't love it as much as I did, and I was right. It also unfortunately came out at the same time as Alexandra Rowland's A Taste of Gold and Iron, which is pretty similar in story and theme (I haven't read it … [Read more]

The Baby-Sisters Club The Truth About Stacey V02 by Raina Telgemeier

The Baby-Sitters Club Mary Anne Saves the Day V03 by Raina Telgemeier

by Leave a Comment

Some of us might have read Ann M. Martin as a young kid. This would have been the 1980s and 1990s. I missed her Baby-Sitters Club original run (my younger sister was a fan), but I have enjoyed her 21st century contributions to the world of literature. When Raina Telgemeier took over the series for a … [Read more]

The Boys Trip

The Hobbit: The Graphic Novel by J. R. R. Tolkien

by 2 Comments

I have never really had an interest in reading J. R. R. Tolkien, simply because if you can make as many movies from one series (Lord of the Rings) as it has had, and I know that a lot of what is in the novel is taken out, I am thinking they are not for me. However, I do know that The Hobbit is a bit … [Read more]

A post with some book reviews

Black Sunday by Thomas Harris

Suffer the Children by John Saul

Cecile is Dead by Georges Simenon

Maigret, Lognon, and the Gangsters by Georges Simenon

Maigret at Picratt's by Georges Simenon

by Leave a Comment

Black Sunday - 3/5 This is the first novel by Thomas Harris, of Hannibal Lecter fame, and it's a weird one. The logline, especially if you've seen the movie, is that a madman is trying to blow up the Super Bowl with a blimp. And that's kind of right. Instead of it being a madman, we're in the … [Read more]

Santa, Please Bring Me a Boyfriend

Santa, Please Bring Me a Boyfriend by Sophie Ranald

by Leave a Comment

You don't need to read Ranald in order, each of her books can be treated as a stand-alone, but honestly, it makes sense to. You read the first book and it sets up the next character you are going to follow or at least you get glimpses of them. Ranald kind of ran out of room out of the original … [Read more]
