“Can ambiguous social situations kindly go fuck themselves?”

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli

by Leave a Comment

CBR11Bingo – Pajiba! This book was briefly reviewed on Pajiba here, seems we feel similarly! Leah Burke seems to be on an even keep as she navigates senior year, stepping closer to her future college career at the local state school, where she’ll even have her friend Abby there. But naturally things start to shake up, as tends to happen in senior year.  First, Abby and Nick break up. Abby doesn’t think their relationship can hold-up long distance, and Nick is heartbroken – as is Leah’s best friend Simon and most of the group.  Then some in-fighting happens when one […]

Sequel Bait

Vengeful by V.E. Schwab

by Leave a Comment

Bingo Review 3 (Birthday- V.E. Schwab 7/7) I have to admit that I had a hard time getting myself to pick up Vengeful. I don’t pre-order often, but this I had, so it’s not like it hasn’t been physically on my TBR shelf since it came out. I’m pretty sure I was just worried I wasn’t going to like it as well as I had Vicious. I really only picked it up when I did because it fit a Bingo square that was going to change soon. I’d read the first few pages not long after I’d gotten it, but […]

Not exactly a sequel

Stiletto: A Novel (The Rook Files) by Daniel O'Malley

by Leave a Comment

Daniel O’Malley’s first novel, The Rook, is easily one of my favorite and satisfying books I have read, so I made sure to add Stiletto to my must-read list. I read a few early reviews, so I wasn’t surprised by the fact that Stiletto isn’t a direct sequel to The Rook. In The Rook, we meet Rook Thomas right after she lost her memory and gained her powers. We get to know Thomas as she gets to understand herself. O’Malley crafted a near perfect fantasy thriller with The Rook, and he continues the suspense with a new two new heroes in Stiletto: Felicity, a Pawn; […]

Fools in the Northeast: Round 2

Everybody's Fool by Richard Russo

by Leave a Comment

Richard Russo is a masterful storyteller. I always enjoy falling into one of his novels, filled with a rich cast of characters. He manages to take the ordinary and make it extraordinary, as he examines common people in small town Americana. This book is a sequel to “Nobody’s Fool” that I read back in 2011. I took a look at that review to see what I had to say about it, as a precursor to this novel. “Russo is one of my favorite authors because of his ability to weave incredible narratives with layered and believable characters. It almost feels […]

Life After You

After You by Jojo moyes

As this is a sequel to Me Before You it goes without saying there are spoilers ahead. So stop reading this review if you haven’t read Me Before you. Are you gone now? Last call… After You picks up about two years after Will Traynor’s death. He has left enough money for Louisa to travel around Europe and buy a flat in London. He wanted her to do something with her life but her grief caused her to miss her opportunity to take the fashion course she was accepted in and she has spent the last few months tending bar […]

“All men are corrupt. The seed of the Epic is inside each one. And so, all must die…”

Firefight by Brandon Sanderson

by Leave a Comment

The second book in the Reckoners series. I felt that Steelheart had a really exciting opening, then was sort of…not exactly boring, but it didn’t live up to the opening. Even so, I really liked the book. Firefight was really good. I liked giving the main character something new to focus on, other than revenge. David has started to wonder if the Reckoners should be killing the Epics or if they could turn them good again. The action travels to a new city, there are new Epics to deal with, as well as our old friend Firefight. There are some […]

Second and final book to Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. It’s pretty good, but made me a little bit sad. You can read my full review here.
