The Snowman by Jo Nesbø

Do You want to Build a Snowman (I Hope Not)

The Snowman by Jo Nesbø

October 13, 2022 by xoxoxoe Leave a Comment

I usually like to start a series from the beginning, but I had already seen the movie The Snowman with Michael Fassbender, so decided to just try the novel by Jo Nesbø and see how they compared. It probably would have been better if I had done those two things in reverse order, but that's how it … [Read more]

“I devoured this.” V. E. Schwab

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean

October 13, 2022 by jomidi 1 Comment

As a book lover, I couldn't resist reading something called The Book Eaters. Especially with the review quote from V. E. Schwab (whom I love) "I devoured this." Sunyi Dean's novel is set in a dark fantasy world where there are a group of book eaters who are not human, but instead subside by … [Read more]

Strong Writing and an Interesting World Meet the Bad Gender Politics of 60s/70s SF/F Yet Again

Nightwings by Robert Silverberg

October 13, 2022 by GentleRain 2 Comments

I read this as part of my planned effort over the next year to thin out my library by reading some of the books I've been schlepping from apartment to apartment with the idea that I'll read them someday. Someday is now! This plan worked here because this book is going straight in the recycling after … [Read more]

Dark Iceland Series

Lost in the Noir of Iceland (And Liking It)

The Dark Iceland Series (1-6) by Ragnar Jónasson

October 13, 2022 by xoxoxoe Leave a Comment

After reading the Martin Beck novels last year, I decided to continue with Nordic noir. I had heard about a series set in Iceland, specifically the remote area of Siglufjörður, and featuring  a young detective named Ari Thór Arason. I read these novels on Kindle and on Audible, where it helped to … [Read more]

Saxon sisters in post-Roman Britain

Dark Earth by Rebecca Stott

October 13, 2022 by tiny_bookbot 2 Comments

CBR Bingo: Question Most historical fiction set in England involves a few specific historical time periods: the high/late medieval era (think Chaucer or Thomas Malory), the Elizabethan era, the Victorian era, WWI and WWII. But the early medieval period (the time we once might've been used to … [Read more]
