My Whackadoo brain found some cool reads

Murderbot Diaries V02 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells

Hilo Book 6: All the Pieces Fit by Judd Winick

This is How I Disappear by Mirion Malle

by Leave a Comment

My mood this week and reading has been all over this week. I found three different genres to get me through it. Not only have I done a crap tone of picture books just for the quick read, I had to find humor, serious, and a mixture of the two. I finished Murderbot Diaries V02 Artificial Condition by Martha Wells. I prefer the first one but did like the ending where Murderbot makes an interesting realization about how they have always just waited and “cleaned […]

Another book with an interesting concept that meandered aimlessly and ran full steam ahead into despair

Anthem by Noah Hawley

The summary of this book may sound morbid, and it may be odd that it drew me in, but here we are.  I like a mystery. Here is what my library’s audiobook / ebook app had as a synopsis: Suddenly and without precedent or explanation, something awful has been happening to teenagers across the globe, forcing parents to face a lonely future without their children.  At the site of each loss, there lies a cryptic message, A11, which may be the clue to solving the […]

Another short story to fill the void between the super long ones!!

2BR02B by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

I think I saw Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. and remembered back to high school where I read Fahrenheit 451 (not KVJr), Catcher in the Rye (not KVJr), and some other book that wasn’t written by him.  I guess I just got them all mixed up in my head, so don’t yell at me.  I’m not sure I’ve ever read a Kurt Vonnegut Jr. book now that I’m looking back? Anybody have any recommendations?  Obviously I read this book, but it’s a short story, so a bit […]

Book 4 of DI Amy Winter

Flesh and Blood by Caroline Mitchell

by Leave a Comment

This is the fourth book in the Detective Inspector (DI) Amy Winter series. I probably read the previous three books in the year and three quarters that I didn’t participate in CBR, so sorry for diving in at book four! Amy Winter’s parents were serial killers.  Her dad is dead I think, but her mom was recently released from prison.  One of her sisters is still in contact with their mom.  This is just background info.  Amy is a little guarded because of her scary […]

Big birthday greeting to my birthday twin, MsWas, to Katie71483 whose birthday was on Sunday, and to Prolixity Julien whose birthday was some time ago and will happen again in the future. Happy birthday to Allie Brosh. I have no idea when her birthday is, but I’m glad she keeps having them. And happy birthday to you, do something nice for yourself. You can tell me about it in the comments, or any other place you might find me. Last year, Katie71483, MsWas and Prolixity […]

You Are Not Alone: Let the women do the work!

You Are Not Alone by Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen

by 1 Comment

This one was interesting! Like many novels of this type, the chapters alternate between different perspectives, letting the reader in on the underlying plot.  Shay Miller witnesses an apparent suicide in the subway in New York one day. She’s lost her job and is generally feeling lost, and one day she sees a woman jump in front of a train. She doesn’t know why. She doesn’t know anything about the woman, but there is something familiar about her…  This leads Shay to spend her days […]
