The It Girl

The It Girl by Ruth Ware

August 7, 2022 by Classic Leave a Comment

Well color me shocked. This may be the second Ware book that I have liked. The main reason why I gave this just four stars is I really didn't enjoy the retconning of one character. I won't get into it since it would be spoilers, but it just felt off based on what we read about what was going on … [Read more]

It wouldn't be CBR Bingo without me frantically catching up on everything I read but was too distracted to write about, now would it? Square: Cold - Fool Moon - DNF This is it, folks- my first DNF in YEARS! I just couldn't do it. I started this book way back in JANUARY, and despite multiple … [Read more]

A Fairy Tale Beginning, but not the Disney Kind

Norroway Book 1: The Black Bull of Norroway by Kit & Cat Seaton

August 7, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 8: Camel So this is both thematic and literal adaptation. Norroway, Book 1: The Black Bull of Norroway is both thematic in that the main character (and maybe at least one other individual) has to adapt to all the new things going on in her world, and also this is a graphic novel adaptation … [Read more]

A Job No One’s Ever Heard of But Sounds Kinda Cool

The Incredible Journey of Plants by Stefano Mancuso

August 7, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Bingo 7: Elephant This is going to be more of a thematic elephant and a major issue I had with key bits of the ideas; The Incredible Journey of Plants is about plant migration, and the various mechanisms plants have to get themselves places or grow in places you’d think would be impossible. The … [Read more]

I think George RR Martin read this before writing A Game of Thrones.

The Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett

August 7, 2022 by ingres77 Leave a Comment

Ken Follett left his journalism career after three years of boredom to work for a small, London-based book publisher in the late-1970s. He began writing fiction as a hobby, and became proficient enough to end up earning money at it. With the publication of The Eye of the Needle in 1978, Follett … [Read more]
