Interesting and yet not what I expected

Dr. Mütter's Marvels: A True Tale of Intrigue and Innovation at the Dawn of Modern Medicine by Christin O'Keefe Aptowicz

September 9, 2015 by sistercoyote 2 Comments

Add me to the ranks of Cannonballers who enthusiastically recommend this book. And the only reason it’s not fully enthusiastic is that Dr. Mütter’s Marvels wasn’t quite what I thought it would be.

By Your Command: Creative on Command

Creative On Command: Instant Inspiration Exactly When You Need It by Jennifer Blanchard

June 15, 2015 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

I read a fair amount of so called “self-help” books; some because the subject interests me, some because they’ve been recommended to me, and some even though I know I may roll my eyes through 90% of the book and get something of worth from the other 10%. So this book was kind of a good news/bad news situation for me: the good news was that I found useful information in about half the book. The bad news is that the first half of the […]

Engaged but not Engrossed

Ancillary Justice: Imperial Radch Book 1 by Ann Leckie

May 11, 2015 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

So…I don’t know if I wanted to enjoy this book or not. I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it weren’t for Ancillary Sword being part of this year’s Hugo nominations, and because I don’t like reading/watching sequels without first having read/watched the, well, first in the series.

I Just Wanna Fly

Heavy Fire by Dru Pagliassotti

March 31, 2015 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

The short synopsis of Heavy Fire is: Two diplomats and their bodyguards, caught in the first crossfire of both a civil and planned multi-national war, have to escape assassination, find allies, and find a way to prevent their home country from being dismantled from within. But the novel is so much more than that.

Conning the Con, Spiriting the Spiritualist

Inside Job by Connie WIllis

March 25, 2015 by sistercoyote 4 Comments

Inside Job was another novella I picked up from the Subterranean Press Humble Bundle (Like Amityville Horrible), and it deals with spiritualists and spiritualism, but that’s about it for what the two books have in common.

Crazy like Heaven

Stone Cold Crazy by Shannon Hill

March 24, 2015 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

Since I was a bit disappointed with the last couple of books I read (one quite a bit more than the other), I thought it was time to go Crazy for a while. Good old Crazy. I love Crazy. I know I shouldn’t. It’s a small, backwater, two-stoplight one-horse kind of town. (Kindle Edition, Location 42)
