Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett

August 1, 2025 by ElCicco Leave a Comment

Cbr17bingo Borrow Wintersmith is the third book in Terry Pratchett’s Tiffany Aching series. Tiffany is a girl who knows about making cheese and tending sheep and who also happens to be a witch. Despite her young age, she has demonstrated extraordinary abilities and attracted the attention of other witches, who have taken her on to teach her how to use her skills. The first two books were outstanding. They were full of action, danger and wild adventures, and they introduced the reader to the Nac […]

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams

August 1, 2025 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

Bingo: Play I have always loved Tennessee Williams, and his play Cat on a Hot Tin Roof did not diminish that love. A somewhat short play in three acts, the story revolves around a Southern family marked by repression, thwarted love, and the ties that bind. The play opens in the bedroom of Brick and Maggie, a couple in a sexless marriage. Brick is a member of the wealthy Southern family that owns the house. He is an alcoholic who represses his feelings and communication […]

Middling Mystery Collection

The Best Mystery Stories of the Year 2024 by Ed. Anthony Horowitz

July 31, 2025 by esmemoria Leave a Comment

Bingo: “B” I eagerly picked up this anthology of the best mystery stories of 2024 as it was edited by Anthony Horowitz, one of my new favorite mystery authors. On a scale of 1 to 5 I gave stories an average of 3.3. Because I found the collection pretty mediocre overall, I am giving it two stars. Only two stories out of 20 earned a perfect five, one of them a tale of a staged suicide by L. Frank Baum of all people. There were […]

Nobody Asked the Zebra

Bad Little Falls by Paul Doiron

July 30, 2025 by elderberrywine Leave a Comment

cbr17 B Oh, look.  Here’s another series I have gotten sucked into.  Fortunately, it started about 15 years ago, so I’ve got plenty more coming up to enjoy.  And unlike my precious Perry Mason, these all seem to be available at my local library, so that’s a good thing. Well, it looks like Mike Bowditch, Maine game warden, has been sent into exile for the crime of not paying much attention to his bosses, and having the uncanny ability to turn over murders in the […]
