Mob Girl: A Woman's Life in the Underworld by Teresa Carpenter

May 1, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

I've been meaning to read this for a few years, ever since I heard it would be made into a movie starring Jennifer Lawrence and directed by Paolo Sorrentino. But I put it off after a while because the reviews for the book itself weren't great and the movie seems to have stalled (it was announced … [Read more]

Around the world redux. This time, plants!

Around the World in 80 Plants by Jonathan Drori, Illustrated by Lucille Clerc

May 1, 2022 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

Back in 2019, I read Jonathan Drori's Around the World in 80 Trees and was as shocked as anybody that I could truly love a book about trees. But love it I did, so much so that when I heard Drori had written a follow-up book about plants, I rushed to get my hands on a copy. Around the World in 80 … [Read more]

If the formula works, might as well use it

Jujutsu Kaisen, vols. 0-12 by Gege Akutami

May 1, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

I’ve been seeing comments about the anime for Jujustsu Kaisen is the best thing ever this year, so when I saw almost the first 12 books in the manga series at the library, I decided to try it out. As it turns out the whole thing is relatively formulaic (enough that missing volumes 3, 4, and 11 … [Read more]

The Bookshop Rescue

Cute doggos, problematic content

The Bookshop Rescue by Rochelle Alers

May 1, 2022 by llamareadsbooks 1 Comment

While this is the ninth book in the series, I read it as a standalone. There were a couple of references to other couples that seemed like they were referring to previous books, but that was it. And while this has all the cute puppies the book promises, there were other issues that ruined the read … [Read more]

Thou Shalt Check Thy Grammar Before Offering Running Advice

The Marathon Method by Tom Holland

May 1, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Overall The Marathon Method seems to be a pretty decent guide for long-distance running. It’s got specifics, both practical and theoretical. It explains not just the ‘how’ but also in most cases, the ‘why’. For example, why do a lot of runners use those gels packets no one seems to like? Because the … [Read more]

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
