It’s clear to me after reading this umpteenth suspense stand alone by Harlan Coben that the man can write a thriller in his sleep (and perhaps does?). They go down easy—all too easy—like a big bag of chips. It took me less than 24 hours to finish this one, but I worry in another 24 hours, I will have forgotten the plot and in another 24, the main character, and a few weeks later, I will have to remind myself that I actually did read […]
Yeah, I Need A Hug
Wanna go down a really, really dark rabbit hole and feel pretty gross about the world you live in when you come back out? Then read Robert Pobi’s American Woman, this book will suit all your squicky needs! Let me first say that my mom recommended this book to me. This reminds me that she reads some twisted materials…but she makes really good suggestions! So thanks Ma (she signed up for Cannonball Read, then punked out and is now a lurker–yeah, I’m calling you out, […]
The view from the train ain’t always the same.
I’m not quite sure The Girl on the Train deserves all the hype it’s being given, but it’s a fast-paced psychological thriller/mystery, and I think it succeeds handily in being exactly what the author wanted it to be.

It’s a VERONICA MARS novel. What kind of a question is that ? If I could, I’d put glitter and […]
After the girl is gone
One the first page of the first chapter a girl goes missing, barely fifteen and somebody’s daughter. And pretty. Asian with round, blue eyes. We meet the family at the breakfast table where she is, uncharacteristically, missing. The father is already halfway to work. And something about the chapter made me think; why is it that we are so obsessed with the gone girl. Why do we trace her life in those left behind?
