Standing up to a bully (and a rapist)

Not My Type by E. Jean Carroll

June 14, 2026 by Sophia Leave a Comment

I had heard of E. Jean Carroll, her accusations of sexual assault against Donald Trump, and her subsequent lawsuit against him, but I did not pay much attention to the specifics.

I don't want to talk too much about the book because I don't want to spoil for potential readers. But … [Read more]

The Break-Up Retreat by Camilla Sten

The Break-Up Retreat by Camilla Sten

June 13, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. So this was a very slow burn of a thriller. It took a while to get going and then once it does, it becomes really good, but then it just kind of devolves into a slasher book and the ending felt rushed. I … [Read more]

“Except for cases that clearly involve a homicidal maniac, the police like to believe murders are committed by those we know and love, and most of the time they’re right – a chilling thought when you sit down to dinner with a family of five. All those potential killers passing their plates.”

"A" is for Alibi: A Kinsey Millhone Mystery (#1) by Sue Grafton

June 13, 2026 by bjornsnipe 1 Comment

The basic characteristics of any good investigator are a plodding nature and infinite patience. Society has inadvertently been grooming women to this end for years. Growing up, it was well known in the house that when a new Sue Grafton book came out, you did not disturb my mother; she felt about … [Read more]

“If, through some exceptional circumstances, you are born without an aunt Mary, one is provided for you by the government along with your birth certificate and a book of grievances.”

Knock Knock, Open Wide by Neil Sharpson

June 13, 2026 by bjornsnipe 1 Comment

It is my personal opinion that if her presence on the curriculum had consisted less of accounts of the bleakness of Irish peasant life at the turn of the century and more farmers’ wives cuckolding their husbands with corpses possessed by the devil, the Irish language would be in rude and glowing … [Read more]
