The Tempest

The Tempest by William Shakespeare

August 8, 2022 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

The Tempest - One of the last if not the last of the written plays, this one has always been among my favorites. It's such a slight play in terms of plot, with really only a handful of scenes, a pretty straightforward plot in a lot of ways, and a small cast of characters. It's also one of the plays … [Read more]

The One Where I Just Want to Quote the Whole Book

Welcome to Hell World: Dispatches from the American Dystopia by Luke O’Neil

August 8, 2022 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo: Series I also didn’t want to write a story from the neutered and dispassionate center that most mainstream publications require. I didn’t want to hear from a person suffering and then give space to the person causing that suffering to explain themselves. Something I wrote in one of the … [Read more]

The Colony by Audrey Magee

August 7, 2022 by tiny_bookbot 5 Comments

CBR Bingo Square: New Another entry in my summer of Irish fiction, but also one of the two Irish novels that made it onto this year's Booker Prize longlist! (It's a fun longlist this year, too, with both the oldest and youngest nominees, and the shortest book ever nominated.) I'm still waiting on … [Read more]

Suburban Hell

Suburban Hell by Maureen Kilmer

August 7, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this wasn't that great unfortunately. I loved the cover. I loved the synopsis. But it took me several days to finish this one. It just moved so freaking slow. And I just didn't care about any of the … [Read more]
