I’m not gonna lie. I came for the “monsters.”

Dr. Mütter's Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovations at the Dawn of Modern Medicine by Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz

July 16, 2023 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

CBR15 BINGO: North America, because Thomas Dent Mütter was an American physician, and his museum is located in Philadelphia, PA. When I heard there was a book about Thomas Mütter, I knew I had to read it. Some years ago I visited the Mütter Museum in Philadelphia, which is a museum of medical history that “displays its beautifully preserved collections of anatomical specimens, models, and medical instruments in a nineteenth-century ‘cabinet museum’ setting.” A quick walk through the museum’s site should give you an idea […]

…what terrified him even more was that he trusted her. And he didn’t know what that meant about himself.

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

CBR15 PASSPORT (Stamp #11: Different Genres, High Fantasy)                                                                          CBR15 BINGO (Violence square: super violent gladiator situation/also the inner turmoil of a young woman trained to be violent from childhood) Not to get too spoilery, but it has become apparent that all three of Maas’ book series (Crown of Thorns […]

Murder most delicious

Blackmail and Bibingka by Mia P. Manansala

July 15, 2023 by tiny_bookbot Leave a Comment

CBR Bingo Square: Edibles I love cooking, and I love murder mysteries, so I’m always happy when those two things coincide. Pushing Daisies had all that pie, Recipes for Love and Murder is very fun, etc etc. So I’ve also enjoyed Mia P. Manansala’s series focusing on Lila Macapagal and her Filipino family, particularly as audiobooks. Blackmail and Bibingka is the third in the series, and Lila, the baker-slash-mystery-solver, seems to finally have her life in order: the coffeeshop she opened with her best friend is doing great, […]

Here’s an interesting moment in any friendship. That time when one person has revealed something essential about themselves and the other must decide if they can accept it.

Lone Women by Victor Lavalle

July 15, 2023 by Leedock Leave a Comment

CBR15PASSPORT: (Stamp #10: Different Genres, Horror) CBR15BINGO: (Strange Worlds square: Lavalle specializes in infusing strange worlds into the real world.) I read Lavalle’s The Changeling a handful of years ago when it first came out. Like that novel, Lone Women is a story about something very essential wrapped up in a mixed genre blanket of fairy/folktale, horror, and in this case, western. While The Changeling was about postpartum depression and what it means to be a parent, Lone Women is, as the title implies, about […]

They had no idea what lay ahead, and maybe it was a good thing.

Where Coyotes Howl by Sandra Dallas

July 15, 2023 by Leedock Leave a Comment

CBR15PASSPORT (Stamp #9: New to me author) CBR15BINGO (North America square: about homesteading in Wyoming) When I saw a “highly recommend” quote on this book cover from Paulette Jiles that was all I needed to pull it from the library shelf. Note to self: I need to be a bit more wary of author endorsement quotes on book covers. It has taken me too long to learn that lesson the hard way. Looking for excitement and a challenge, a young woman moves from Iowa to the […]

A bee without a hive will die.

The Last Beekeeper by Julie Carrick Dalton

July 15, 2023 by Leedock Leave a Comment

CBR15 PASSPORT (Stamp #8: New to me author) CBR15 BINGO (Dwelling square: main character’s childhood home is an additional “character” in the novel) I gravitate toward interesting book covers and environmental fiction. This ticked both of those boxes. I’m a gardener and spending time poking around in my yard over some 20-odd years makes me hyper-aware of climate change. Annuals becoming perennials. Spring ephemerals showing up earlier and earlier. Late-season bloomers popping up in July instead of September. It’s hard to miss the changes. I’m in […]
