Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time


Like doing Wordle with a serial killer and if you lose someone dies! Fun for all ages!

The Cipher (Nina Guerrera #1) by Isabella Maldonado

by 1 Comment

I think this might've been a Kindle First Reads book for me?  I legit have no idea how I get to read some of the books I do.  Like the process I mean.  How do I select them?  Why do I have such a backlog on my Kindle when I'm constantly reading?  Who knows? Anyway, I've never read anything by … [Read more]

“As for order, it is my express wish to live as ordered a life as possible. But the world is filled with random chaos that often devils my attempts at arrangement.”

The Maid by Nita Prose

by Leave a Comment

I was really worried I wouldn't like this, and I so wanted to like this. I heard the premise (maid finds dead body in hotel room, becomes suspect, decides to solve crime), pointed my finger, and loudly ejaculated, "THAT BOOK IS FOR ME." Sorry I used 'ejaculated,' I just never have before (I don't … [Read more]

“Society is a consequential fool, and I am tired of rules and strictures that do no good and bring nobody happiness.”

The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting by K.J. Charles

by Leave a Comment

Seriously, K.J. Charles is always a good time, but this one didn't hit me in my swooners like some of her other stuff has. Maybe one swooner, a couple times. But it was still really good! Just probably won't be on my re-read rotation. This is apparently the book she wrote to get her creative juices … [Read more]

Meh in the Middle

Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo

by Leave a Comment

Siege and Storm is better than Shadow and Bone for one reason: Nikolai Lantsov and Sturmhond. There is a lot less of Alina and the Darkling, although both do appear, and that’s not a bad thing. That part of the story shouldn’t really be the focus anyways, given how much Alina keeps focusing on one … [Read more]

Frustrating, intriguing, and even sometimes satisfying

Catch and Kill: Lies, Spies, and a Conspiracy to Protect Predators by Ronan Farrow

by Leave a Comment

If anyone's a long time Kfishgirl fan (like read my CBR posts in the past few years), you'll know that my favorite thing / something that brings me silly joy is when the title of the book is mentioned in the actual book itself.  I also like when people run out of bullets in movies and throw their … [Read more]

Another short story to fill the void between the super long ones!!

2BR02B by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

by Leave a Comment

I think I saw Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and remembered back to high school where I read Fahrenheit 451 (not KVJr), Catcher in the Rye (not KVJr), and some other book that wasn't written by him.  I guess I just got them all mixed up in my head, so don't yell at me.  I'm not sure I've ever read a Kurt … [Read more]
