Brave Existing World

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

October 12, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Boy have I been meaning to read this for a while. I even have a hardcover copy that I got from a bookstore, since it's not readily available at any of my libraries as an eBook. I suppose the highest praise to media of this generation (or any earlier generation) is to read it and think it a bit … [Read more]

Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood

October 12, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

The reason this book fell flat for me can be summed up by the author's note at the back: This book is my hate letter to standardized testing. It’s also my love letter to neuroscience, Star Wars, women in STEM, friendships that hit rough patches but then try their best to bounce back, research … [Read more]

Re-re-reads count, don’t they?

Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall

October 12, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Re-re-read in honor of Husband Material: Re-re-reading this book, especially after reading Husband Material, made me realize that it's a five star book by me. While "Priya" the Muslim will never cease to exasperate me (to recap: Priya is a Hindu name, or more relevantly it's not a kosher Muslim name … [Read more]

Bingos Among the Bodies

Malice by Keigo Higashino

October 12, 2022 by esmemoria 2 Comments

CBR Bingo: Body I was very excited a month ago, because I was starting a book that would finally give me a bingo—two, in point of fact. And then…nothing. I couldn’t get started for love or money. “Nooooo” I wailed, tearing my shirt like Stanley Kowalski and screaming, “Bingo! BINGO!” Luckily, … [Read more]

His Old Kentucky Home

Raylan by Elmore Leonard

October 12, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Elmore Leonard's final published novel is not one for those obsessed with continuity. Raylan is the third Leonard novel featuring U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, plus the title story from his collection Fire in the Hole. That story was adapted into the FX series Justified, starring Timothy Olyphant, … [Read more]

Coming of Age When Your Parents Are in the CIA

Passport by Sophia Glock

October 11, 2022 by GentleRain Leave a Comment

CBR14Bingo: Gaslight (I wouldn't say her parents purposefully gaslight her, but they keep a lot of information from her and live in a cloud of secrecy that she never fully gets answers about) This is a well done book in a technical sense -- the art is accomplished and clear, I like the use of a … [Read more]
