Red Dragon

Red Dragon by Thomas Harris

August 25, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

This is the first book in the Hannibal Lecter series. If you've seen the tv show Hannibal, then this is where they were headed before the show was cancelled. So we more or less begin in medias res with Will Graham, criminal profiler (I will use this as a shortcut), no longer works with the FBI … [Read more]

With Friends Like These

Notes on a Scandal by Zoë Heller

August 24, 2022 by jeverett15 Leave a Comment

Flighty, hippie-ish pottery teacher Sheba Hart and spinster English teacher Barbara Covett seem like an unlikely pair, probably because they are. Sheba is an upper-class woman married to an older man with whom she has two children, while Barbara has lived her whole life with only a cat for a … [Read more]

Chamber Danger

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling

August 24, 2022 by Caesar's Wife Leave a Comment

As with my review of The Philosopher's Stone, it seems laughable to publish a review about a Harry Potter book in 2022; yet here we are! My family and I worked through this audio-book on the second half of a road trip, again narrated by the incredible Stephen Fry. My five year old was fairly engaged … [Read more]

Beauty and the Alchemist by Elle Hartford

August 24, 2022 by faintingviolet Leave a Comment

Beauty and the Alchemist asks, what does it take to overcome a curse? Particularly if the world you live in is filled with magic. Throw in a bit of murder and you have quite the mystery on your hands. Which is exactly what formerly traveling alchemist Red finds herself surrounded by. She’s been … [Read more]

Not Betting on Forever

“I agree there’s no such thing as love at first sight, but attraction? That can happen in an instant.”

Not Betting on Forever by Natasha Moore

August 24, 2022 by llamareadsbooks Leave a Comment

As the years go by, seeking out romances with more mature characters – ones in their late thirties and forties – has become more of a priority to me. While I think I’ll always love a good young adult romance, sometimes the parade of twenty-something romances gets a bit exhausting. So I went in to … [Read more]

The Sidewalks of New York

Tales of Times Square by Josh Alan Friedman

August 24, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

I've always had this burgeoning curiosity of the old Times Square, even before seeing (and enjoying) HBO's The Deuce. Who were the people that worked these parlors? The sex shows? The hustles? Where did they go when they were done? What are the truths and the myths surrounding the deuce? And … [Read more]
