Shadow Weaver by MarcyKate Connolly

CBR12 BINGO: Violet BINGO (4 corners and center square): Red, Music, Violet, Money, Yellow While searching online for a book to fill the violet category, I was drawn to the lovely illustration of a girl and her violet shadow on the cover of Shadow Weaver. I only wish I’d done a little research first and learned that there is a part 2 to this story, because part 1 leaves the reader with many unanswered questions. Shadow Weaver starts with an original and rather charming premise: […]

Looking forward to more from this author

The Animals at Lockwood Manor by Jane Healey

CBR12 BINGO: Debut BINGO (Diagonal): Money, Debut, Yellow, Pandemic, Music Minor spoilers. I thought it would be a struggle coming up with a book to read for the Debut BINGO category, but I was fortunate enough to see a CBR Facebook post with some great suggestions.

The premise of this series is appealing enough. Harry Dresden […]

The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

by 7 Comments

CBR12 BINGO: Cannonballer Says I decided to read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle for the “Cannonballer Says” BINGO square after reading Narfna’s review. Or rather, I should say, after skimming Narfna’s review, because as soon as I saw the basic premise and the spoiler alerts, I averted my eyes and decided to go no-contact on any reviews until after I had read it. I’m glad I did; yet here I am with the impossible task of describing a book I really enjoyed without giving […]
