Ugh, another stinker I had to power through

Ghost Road Blues (Pine Deep #1) by Jonathan Maberry

June 12, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

After reading the zombie anthology that Jonathan Maberry helped to edit, I wanted to try one of his books.  My library had the first book in his Pine Deep series, so I decided to give it a try. Just woof.  I did NOT like this book.  So many people were just giant assholes and I couldn’t get behind them as characters.  If I don’t like the characters, it’s just not going to happen for me. I guess some people came back to life and just […]

A new series to fill the Harry Bosch shaped hole in my heart

Odd Thomas (Odd Thomas #1) by Dean Koontz

April 12, 2022 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

I stumbled onto this book like I stumble onto many books.  I was searching for a new audiobook on my library app, and I searched “available now” and either “horror” or “mystery”, I can’t remember.  I usually try both, and sometimes “thriller” too.  It’s taken me to some cool books, and occasionally some clunkers. Anyway, like my title states, I needed a new series!!  I’ve read EVERY AVAILABLE HARRY BOSCH book, so I need a new mystery solving man in my life.  Odd Thomas is […]

The Season of Passage by Christopher Pike

December 28, 2018 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

The Season of Passage is one of my favorite books from my teen years. I had always loved Christopher Pike as a teen, because he felt a little more sophisticated than R.L.Stine, who was the other “horror” author for my age group. I guess I probably loved this book from the beginning because the main character’s name is Lauren, which is also my name.  It’s just a great book overall though.  You get to know the characters enough to care about them before anyone is […]

The Dark Tower I: The Gunslinger by Stephen King

February 19, 2017 by borisanne 3 Comments

I’m taking on “The Dark Tower” series! It starts with The Gunslinger. It was reassuring to read King’s preface to the edition I picked up, in which he describes the creation of the story: he was very young, and he was very green, and it took him a very long time to finish the series. And then, as he finished, he went back and revised for clarity and consistency. I admire this, and appreciate it as a reader, and knowing that he was young and green […]

The Stand: The Complete And Uncut Edition by Stephen King

May 15, 2016 by borisanne 10 Comments

My blossoming love affair with Stephen King continues, with yet another behemoth of awesomeness: The Stand. This particular edition was released in 1990, twelve years after the first release. It was updated and expanded, and I have no reference to the first edition but, according to “Publisher’s Weekly,” at least as quoted on amazon.com, “The same excellent tale of the walking dude, the chemical warfare weapon called superflu and the confrontation between its survivors has been updated to 1990, so references to Teenage Mutant Ninja […]

I’m so late to this great party, I almost want to punch something.

It by Stephen King

April 25, 2016 by borisanne 4 Comments

Let the making fun of me begin: I am newly and totally obsessed with Stephen King. Brief backstory: when I was 7 or 8 years old, I started reading “Cujo.” It gave me nightmares: long, scary, repeated nightmares. I never finished it, because No More Stephen King For Me, said my parents. And then, somehow, in my mind, the idea of Stephen King’s writing… well, I guess it morphed from “OMG, that guy is scary” to “Meh, airport reading. Basically the James Patterson of horror.” […]
