September 1, 2023 by Jake Leave a Comment

Unquestionably the worst month in the calendar. Red Cat*** It’s not the writer’s fault that I just finished Robert Kolker’s excellent Lost Girls in light of the apprehension of the man they think is the Gilgo Beach murderer. But my threshold for murdered sex workers was low going into this. I only finished it because it filled a specific square for my library summer reading game. It’s not bad; the mystery is done well but it doesn’t stand out as far as the rest of […]

February 2, 2022 by Jake Leave a Comment

My resolution for Cannonball Read in 2022 is to only write reviews where I feel like I have much to say and then dump the others in a singular post at the end of the month to track how much I’ve read. This’ll spare me from writing 250+ words about books that I can’t even think of a hundred for. So… Hit Parade **** I enjoy these books and while this is the one I maybe enjoyed the least (did EVERY story need cutaway conversations with […]

Cannot wait for Season Two!

July 13, 2015 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Okay, well I guess season two premiered last night, but we were watching Horrible Bosses 2 on HBO, so hopefully I’ll be catching up tonight. I read the original Strain book a year or two before they adapted it into a show, but never got around to reading the other two (even though I did like it). I really liked the first season — they did a good job adapting it and it’s so wonderfully over-the-top and gross — and I always like reading a book before […]
