September 4, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/09/04/episode-1-33-were-here-were-queer-get-used-to-it/ Wherein I review: 128. Hiddensee by Gregory Maguire 129. Crooked by Austin Grossman 130. The Steel Remains (A Land Fit For Heroes #1) by Richard K. Morgan 131. Hollywood Dead (Sandman Slim #10) by Richard Kadrey 132. Bloody Rose (The Band #2) by Nicholas Eames 133. The Invisible Library (Invisible Library #1) by Genevieve Cogman I wax ecstatic over the recent trend of inclusion of homosexuality in fantasy and fiction and how it makes all the neckbeards cry into their fedoras.  Gregory Maguire brings […]

August 27, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/27/episode-1-32-heroes-depend-on-which-side-of-history-you-stand/ Wherein I review: 126. The Cuckoo’s Egg by Clifford Stoll 127. Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by James Swanson A little historicalisciousness. Cliff Stoll was one of the first people to track down international hackers.  TOPICAL.  And we learn that his name was Mudd because he was a f–king dirty ass Confederate who was all down with kidnapping Lincoln.

Episode 1-30: The Kids Aren’t Alright

August 13, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/13/episode-1-30-the-kids-arent-alright/ Wherein I review: 116. Marlena by Julie Buntin 117. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty 118. The Money Shot (Teddy Fay #2) by Stuart Woods Kids are the f–king worst!  Marlena reads like an AA confessional, part ghost story, that really has no third act.  Big Little Lies gave me the chance to read a novel that has been turned into a television show where I know one of the actors.  Weird, but fun, especially since the original is Australian, so now I’m picturing […]

Episode 1-29: What the F–k Did I Just Read?

August 8, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/08/episode-1-29-what-the-fuck-did-i-just-read/ Wherein I review: 111. A Highly Unlikely Scenario, or a Neetsa Pizza Employee’s Guide to Saving the World by Rachel Cantor 112. Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan 113. The Fold by Peter Clines 114. High-Rise by J.G. Ballard 115. Turbulence (Stone Barrington #46) by Stuart Woods Sometimes your little brain needs to get fried.  This was a combo platter of what the f–kery.  I enjoyed Robin Sloan’s wonderous cult of personality, and Peter Clines’ Lost-esque pseudo-sequel to 14.  Didn’t so much love […]

Episode 1-28: Time Keeps On Slipping, Slipping, Slipping

July 30, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/07/30/episode-1-28-time-keeps-on-slipping-slipping-slipping/ Wherein I review: 108. The October List by Jeffery Deaver 109. The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai 110. Invitation to a Bonfire by Adrienne Celt A mystery that starts with the last chapter and works its way backwards.  One book that jumps between 1985 and 2015 between Chicago and Paris while straddling the AIDS epidemic.  One book told through journal entries and letters from an author while reimagining the Nabokov love triangle.  I loved them all in their own little ways, but I loved […]
