Ripley Under Water by Patricia Highsmith

October 15, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

Ripley's Game - 3/5 This is a reread of this one (I am rereading the whole series) and I liked it better the second time through. Two things happen early on in the book that are very important. First, Tom Ripley is asked to considered doing a murder for hire against two mafia enforcers, and next, … [Read more]

A Man and his Dog by Thomas Mann

Felix Krull by Thomas Mann

October 15, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

A Man and His Dog - 3/5 I am not sure here what the actual story is. But it's also like 70 pages, which seems pretty long for a novella, I am not sure what the actual story is, right? Specifically, we are dealing with a long description of a man getting a Pointer, which is vague, given that there … [Read more]

“I want you to see me. That’s why I shine like this.”

Sweet Bean Paste by Durian Sukegawa

October 15, 2022 by tiny_bookbot Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Recommended When I was in the early days of my summer of Irish fiction, I visited a couple friends in DC and one of them passed off her copy of this novel to me. "When you get a moment, I think you'll like it. It's an easy read, but not a dumb one--more like where you feel better at … [Read more]

Penguins make me happy. Cute drawings make me happy. This book is a winner.

Penguins and Other Seabirds by Matt Sewell

October 15, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR14 BINGO: Cold, because penguins are usually found in cold places (but not always, like those crazy Galapagos penguins, hopping back and forth over the equator like they do). As I may have mentioned, I'm a big fan of penguins and books about penguins. Many people know this about me, so one day … [Read more]

Lavender House by Lev A.C. Rosen

October 15, 2022 by LB Leave a Comment

I don’t know how to feel about this book, but also it was utterly compelling and hard to put down. When Andy is caught with his pants down in a gay bar, he feels like his whole life is over - he’s lost his job with the San Francisco police department, lost his housing, and knew the cops who caught … [Read more]
