“There is nothing nice about Southern ladies!”

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix

by Leave a Comment

BINGO – LIBATIONS It’s the early 1990s, and Patricia Campbell lives in a suburb of Charleston, South Carolina with her husband, two kids, and mother-in-law. She does what she can to be a picturesque Southern lady: exceptional manners and hospitality, exquisite outfits, pristine home, and exemplary family. She is a perfect Southern peach, and she’s bored. The only outlet she has that is solely for herself is her book club filled with other women just like her. To escape their lives, they choose to read […]

“But it was a mistake thinking of that as an end. There is no end. Bad things happen, and then they stop, but they keep on wreaking havoc inside of people.”

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

CBR 13 Bingo: Rep – Rowell’s portrayal of Simon’s depression is a very frank picture of what depression can feel like and how it affects relationships. Contains Spoilers if you have not read Carry On and Wayward Son. This is Part Two of my rereading books one and two of Rainbow Rowell’s, Simon Snow trilogy, before starting number three, Any Way the Wind Blows.  Part One can be found here.  And if you’re interested in my original thoughts on those two books, they can be found  here.

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

CBR 13 Bingo: Gateway – Carry On is the gateway to Simon Snow and Rowell’s World of Mages. After watching Rainbow Rowell for the book release of Any Way the Wind Blows, I wanted to re-read Carry On and Wayward Son to fall in love with Simon and Baz all over again.  However, they didn’t fit into my bingo plan, then Malin helpfully suggested that Carry On works for Gateway and Wayward Son for Rep.  I didn’t have a book picked for either square yet so […]

**30 Books in 30 Days** Book 27/30 This series is so weird. I’m fairly certain I have started a review of one of these books before with that exact same sentence. I think I meant it more positively on that one. I am up and down, up and down with these books. One I’ll be obsessed and inhale it, and the next will be a slog that doesn’t catch my attention. This one was unfortunately mostly the second thing for me, although I still liked […]

The Book of Lost Things by John Connolly

by 1 Comment

Don’t loan me books. I am overwhelmed by them, and my guilt at holding onto your artifact will not affect my scattered method of attacking my TBR. I have had this book for twelve years. I am a bad book friend! But it was worth the wait? The Book of Lost Things is about David, a twelve-year-old in WWII-era England who has recently lost his mother.  His father remarries, and his new wife is kind, but David cannot help but resent her, and this resentment […]
