My Mother, She Killed Me, My Father, He Ate Me by Kate Bernheimer

August 7, 2022 by andtheIToldYouSos 1 Comment

It wouldn’t be CBR Bingo without me frantically catching up on everything I read but was too distracted to write about, now would it? Square: Cold – Fool Moon – DNF This is it, folks- my first DNF in YEARS! I just couldn’t do it. I started this book way back in JANUARY, and despite multiple formats and multiple tries, I just can’t do it. I know there’s a mythical “it gets better” carrot hanging out past the fourth entry, but I just don’t have […]

A small, calico cat lying down with her legs tucked underneath behind a cell phone showing a picture of the audio book "Brief Cases" by Jim Butcher

Overall good but appreciated the stories by characters that aren’t Harry Dresden in particular.

Brief Cases by Jim Butcher

April 15, 2022 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

Last year I listened to the first Dresden Files short story collection, Side Jobs, to be able to listen to the excellent narration by James Marsters (on the recommendation of ardaigle!).  Marsters is a great narrator but he fell short when it came time for Karrin Murphy’s story at the end of the book.  For the next collection of short stories, Brief Cases, they brought on two female narrators, Cassandra Campbell and Julia Whelan for stories from Anastasia Luccio and Molly Carpenter’s POV.  No disrespect to […]

“The impossible we do immediately. The unimaginable takes a little while.”

Cold Days (Dresden Files #14) by Jim Butcher

April 2, 2022 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In one word: Busy I finished reading this over a month ago and am now clawing my way through a backlog of tardy reviews on this snowy Midwestern APRIL day. Snowy. APRIL. DAY. In what we are calling Spring I guess? Ruuuuude. But I digress. When I dig into the recesses of my mind about this book, not much is surfacing, which isn’t a great sign. This book was reminiscent of an SNL Stefon skit. Bear with me here. For the unfamiliar, Stefon is an […]

“Caring about someone isn’t complicated. It isn’t easy. But it isn’t complicated, either. Kinda like lifting the engine block out of a car.”

Small Favor (Dresden Files #10) by Jim Butcher

September 25, 2021 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In one word: Action-packed Cannonball Read Bingo: Reader’s Choice (Replacing Fauna) Dresden is in it again. High stakes, low chance of survival, will he come out on top? At this point, book 10 of I don’t even know how many, it’s not a spoiler that um, yes, he will. But I will say this one really is firing on all cylinders. The whole gang is around in this one, gangster Marcone, the vile Denarians, and one of my favorites, the Archive, the 12-year-old girl who […]

Dresden short stories made for enjoyable health stomps

Side Jobs by Jim Butcher

July 29, 2021 by Dome'Loki 1 Comment

CBR 13 Bingo Square: Old Series – The first Dresden Files book, Storm Front, was published April, 1st 2000 Side Jobs contains eleven short stories, little adventures that happen between the novels.  Some were written for promotional reasons and some were written at the invitation of anthology editors.  These stories occur from before Storm Front to just after Changes.  This was my first audio book experience and I enjoyed it immensely.  Ardaigle’s waxing rhapsodic over James Marster’s narration convinced me that I needed to hear it for myself.  […]

“Polka. Will Never. Die!”

Dead Beat by Jim Butcher

June 19, 2021 by ardaigle 1 Comment

All right. Look. I don’t know how to talk about this book without it getting spoilery as heck, so if you are thinking you might read this book, then just skip this here review if you don’t want plot moments spoiled, things that made me gasp and giggle. Because I have got to talk about it. First things first, this review is going to be an ode to Butters, who essentially in this novel is elevated to the status of a relucant Watson to Dresden’s […]
