Thank you, Siege! Otto and I (and Frannie in the background) are very excited for our new books — especially since I already have a copy of the 2nd book in the Cormoran Strike series, but not the first (which has been making me crazy). Ghost Soldiers looks really good, too! Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and yours =)
I don’t care how inbred he was, I’m not going to feel bad for this guy
I don’t know why I bothered to read this. It was attached to my copy of What The Night Knows, as novella prequel to What The Night Knows but meant to be read afterwards. I didn’t like What The Night Knows. I wasn’t going to like a prequel about its horrifying murdering ghost guy, pre-death. But I’m also unable to NOT complete what I’ve started, so I read the damn thing anyway. So, Darkness Under the Sun tells us about Alton Blackwood’s life before he murders a bunch […]
“It’s hard out there for a fuzzy little introvert.”
I’m a fan of Amy Schumer, mostly based off the first season of her show and her real-life antics. She seems like she’d be a lot of fun, and she’s not afraid to share her opinions, which I love. I’m surprised by how much I liked this book, though. I thought it would be mostly dick jokes, and while they do appear in abundance, I found the more serious chapters to be much more effective than when she’s aiming for comedy. “I know my worth. I embrace […]
Dean Koontz, I just can’t quit you
This was not a great book. It wasn’t even very good. But it’s Dean Koontz, and you could definitely do worse for a few hours of reading. “He wondered why it was easier to believe in a malevolent spirit than in a benign one. Sometimes it seemed that the human heart, this side of Eden, feared eternal life more than death, light more than darkness, freedom more than surrender.” Detective John Calvino’s entire family was murdered (along with several others) when he was a child. He ended the serial […]
“The madness inside will haunt you forever…”
This book wasn’t *bad*, necessarily, but definitely did not live up to my expectations based on the pretty awesome title and cover. “I understood why Aunt Cordelia had dragged herself out to the road before committing suicide. Why she hadn’t let herself die on the property. Because then she would have been stuck forever. Like me.” Sixteen year old Delia has inherited her great-aunt’s property — a rundown mansion also known as Hysteria Hall, since it used to be a sanitarium for “troubled” girls. Unfortunately, the […]
I mean, he *says* he’s not
This is one of those books with a twist that will make it or break it for you. I personally felt hooked until the twist, and then thought it went pretty much downhill from there. Your mileage may vary, however. “I’ve been clinically diagnosed with sociopathy,’ I said. ‘Do you know what that means?’ ‘It means you’re a freak,’ he said. ‘It means that you’re about as important to me as a cardboard box,’ I said. ‘You’re just a thing – a piece of garbage that no […]
