Infused with humanity

The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury

October 29, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR 14 BINGO: Star, because it takes place mostly in space BINGO: Gaslight, Scandal, Star, Monster, Bodies My experience with Ray Bradbury up to this point has been limited to Fahrenheit 451, which is a top-notch novel--at least, I remember it being so when I read it, oh, thirty years ago. … [Read more]

Nightmares, just in time for Halloween

The Fifth Risk by Michael Lewis

October 29, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR14 BINGO: Gaslight, because Trump BINGO: Snake, Minds, Series, Cozy, Gaslight I make it a habit not to read books about politics, especially books about Donald Trump, because my sanity can only withstand so much. However, the "gaslight" category got me thinking about maybe breaking that … [Read more]

High Society, Murder, Romance, Bicycles, and a Haunted House, what could go wrong

Betrayal in the Bowery by Kate Belli

October 29, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 24: Gaslight Betrayal in the Bowery is set in 1889 NYC, meaning gas lights are very literally part of the setting. This is mostly a cozy murder mystery with sassy lady journalist Genvieve and her friend (probably romance partner in a volume or two) Daniel having to look into the mysterious … [Read more]

A meta murder mystery about writing murder mysteries.

The Woman in the Library by Sulari Gentill

October 29, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

I had a really good time with this book. I am honestly pleased with most mysteries that I read because something about the genre makes me inherently happy, but I am always very excited when I find one that goes above and beyond the expectations of the genre, and plays around a little. This one … [Read more]

I might not know what you are feeling. But I know grief.

The Alchemy of Sorrow by Sarah Chorn, Virginia McClain

October 29, 2022 by Emmalita Leave a Comment

The Alchemy of Sorrow: A Fantasy & Sci-fi Anthology of Grief and Hope was a gamble because I was only familiar with one author, Intisar Khanani. I like anthologies because I get to explore authors I haven't read before in short bites. I love Khanani enough that I knew her story would be worth … [Read more]
