Once, twice, and then I gave up

Dune by Frank Herbert

Surface Detail by Iain M. Banks

The Gunslinger by Stephen King

The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross

January 29, 2022 by carmelpie 3 Comments

I’ve watched the newest version of Dune a couple of times now and, so far, I’m enjoying it. I contemplated going back and finishing the book but, considering it has been years since I started reading it, it would make the most sense to start again from the beginning. If you have to talk yourself into reading something just to convince yourself “but this time, it will be worth it,” then maybe this book isn’t for you. Along with Dune, I’ve listed a few other […]

“I don’t do that kind of negativity. If you put your energy into thinking about how much the fall would hurt, you’re already halfway down.”

Broken Harbor (Dublin Murder Squad, #4) by Tana French

September 14, 2021 by ardaigle Leave a Comment

In one word: Gripping Cannonball Read Bingo: Shelfie Review 2021: Hi. Me again. Hear with more French fervor. Love. Her. I have the latest installment of the Dublin Murder Series on my bookshelf, and in fact, I think I’ve had it for months. But once I read it, I am caught up, and I can’t quite face that. So as a pandemic project I decided to reread all of them to then make my way to the most recent installment. I’m here to report that […]

The One Where I Review All the Young at Heart Book Club Picks, Finally.

Ghost Squad by Claribel Ortega

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams

May 27, 2021 by faintingviolet 1 Comment

I read these books all together for our Young at Heart book club so it only feels right to review them all together. Our goal for book club was to find book selections that reminded us of childhood in order to (hopefully) inspire a bit of lighthearted nostalgia. For the most part, these books succeeded on that metric for me. Ghost Squad – 4 stars Up first is Claribel Ortega’s Ghost Squad. I often have trouble sinking into Middle Grades books – it is where […]

My Stomach Still Feels the Same

Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing by Judy Blume

May 12, 2021 by MsWas 3 Comments

My retired librarian mother and I are alike in many ways; but one of the big differences between us* is that I’m a big proponent of rereading books, and she never rereads ANY THING. She says there are too many books that she hasn’t read to spend time on rereading. Personally, as much as I do like going back to books, I usually only reread books I enjoyed like A Wrinkle in Time, The Stopping Place and The Owl and the Pussycat.

A difficult to find book but very worthwhile read

Juniper by Monica Furlong

April 2, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

Can she save her father’s kingdom from an evil sorceress? ^^ that’s the blurb on the front of this book and while, technically, yes, also ugh no. Set after the timeline sequel Wise Child but written after, Juniper follows the titular character on the first part of her journey from the spoiled, only child and princess of a local king/chieftain in England in the early days of Christianity to the powerful, peaceful, centered doran we know she becomes. And yes, she has to fight a sorceress who is threatening her father’s […]

Track down this book (used copies abound)

Wise Child by Monica Furlong

March 28, 2021 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

This is a book that is very worthwhile despite being somewhat hard to track down (although, as it were, not as hard as the sequel/prequel, Juniper). Wise Child is a great example of the value of a well-funded school district. I cannot begin to count the number of books that I was recommended by my middle school librarian (hi Ms. Miller!), who would patiently roam the aisles with me after school while I was waiting to be picked up. This is one of them, though, and […]
