Episode 1-41: Old Timey Fisticuffs

November 4, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/11/04/episode-1-41-old-timey-fisticuffs/ Wherein I review: 150. The Lost Plot (Invisible Library #4) by Genevieve Cogman 151. A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine #4) by Ransom Riggs 152. Desperate Measures (Stone Barrington #47) by Stuart Woods 153. The Mauritius Command (Aubrey & Maturin #4) by Patrick O’Brian It’s all on the fours.  Fourth swashbuckler, fourth Miss Peregrine’s Steampunk X-Men, fourth Invisible Library.  It’s all very old school, and enjoyable.  Fourthbook is a big deal, because it’s either revamping or saying, “We’re in this for the long haul, […]

Episode 1-40: Surprise! I Only Finished One Book This Week

October 25, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/26/episode-1-40-surprise-i-only-finished-one-book-this-week/ Wherein I review: 149. H.M.S. Surprise (Aubrey & Maturin #3) by Patrick O’Brian There’s a reason these are the swashbuckling standards.  I keep on sailing through, but wasn’t swift enough to knock out the last few books.  And I’m still dangling on the precipice of 700 books on the Kindle. Waily, waily, waily.

Episode 1-39: Marvel Doesn’t Care About Black Humor

October 16, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/16/episode-1-39-marvel-doesnt-care-about-black-humor/ Wherein I review: 146. The Labyrinth of Spirits (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books #4) by Carlos Ruiz Zafon 147. Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith 148. Ambush (Michael Bennett #11) by James Patterson The Cemetery of Forgotten Books adds more blocks to the every growing library.  JK Rowling always does great relationships, and does procedurals as well as wizarding.  And Ten is Enough the Cop puts up a lackluster murder involving the Canadian Mob vs the Mexican Cartels. Also, I bitch a […]

Episode 1-38: I Punched Satan!

October 9, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/10/episode-1-38-i-punched-satan/ Wherein I review: 144. The Fall of the House of Cabal (Johannes Cabal #5) by Jonathan L. Howard 145. Post Captain (Aubrey & Maturin #2) by Patrick O’Brian I bid adieu (temporarily, dark forces willing) to my favorite necromancer and I continue the swashbuckling seafaring adventures of Captain Jack and his doctor pals.  And I continue to bust through two other wonderful but long books.

Episode 1-37: Brothers Gotta Hug!

October 2, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/02/episode-1-37-brothers-gotta-hug/ Wherein I review: 143. The Brothers Cabal (Johannes Cabal #4) by Jonathan L. Howard Where I wax romantical about how much I love the Johannes Cabal series.  And the joy of a solid 4th book in a series.

    I really enjoyed this one. I was particularly amused at Lady Catherine deBoutgh’s disgust at her assassin’s incompetence.
