CBR12 Book Bingo – Happy

Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center

September 4, 2020 by randirock Leave a Comment

I will start this review by saying after I read this book, I expeditiously ordered every other book written by Katherine Center. I’ve said it before, and I will say it again – I love love. Give me a good romance, and I’m a happy girl. Not only was this book a beautifully written, heartfelt novel, it also featured some serious girl power, which I can always get behind! According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are 1.16 million firefighters in the United States, […]

Not all Monsters are evil

Fire by Kristin Cashore

July 19, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

Official book description: It is not a peaceful time in the Dells. The young King Nash clings to his throne while rebel lords in the north and south build armies to unseat him. The mountains and forests are filled with spies and thieves and lawless men. This is where Fire lives.

The dog lives again!

March 28, 2018 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I apparently borrowed this book from Amazon Kindle Unlimited over a year ago.  That fact does not reflect the quality of the book.  Sometimes I just go on book-borrowing rampages Aaaaanyway… This is book one of the Gideon and Sirius series.  Gideon is the man (a cop), and Sirius is the dog (also a cop).  When I was first looking to read this book, I asked a question on Goodreads to make sure Sirius didn’t die.  I figured that since it was the Gideon and […]

Apocalypse literature at its best

July 19, 2017 by Lindzgrl Leave a Comment

I know it’s not fair to compare because Joe Hill has only written four novels whereas his father has written more than ninety (!!), but I dare say that Joe Hill might be the better author of the two. Although he certainly hasn’t written anything on the scope of The Stand or the Dark Tower series, so that might be a hasty judgment. But I can say this for certain—I’ve loved everything Hill has written so far, and I’ve been enjoying each book he comes […]

Darn Hooch

January 23, 2016 by NVVN 5 Comments

This is the fourth book in the Sweet Pepper Fire Brigade series by JJ Cook.  The story centers around fire chief Stella Griffin, some ghosts and a hooch war.  By the way, that’s hooch as in moonshine, not any of the other terms you might be thinking of (money, female private parts, a loose woman, a scuzzy man or half of a K-9/cop duo).  There’s also some stereotypical small town stuff (romance or the lack thereof, family issues, politics, misogyny and food) to round out […]
