badkittyuno's Reviews:

I have read like, a LOT of serial killer fiction lately. I’m probably on a list somewhere now

Looking Glass (The Naturalist #2) by Andrew Mayne

Murder Theory (The Naturalist #3) by Andrew Mayne

Dark Pattern (The Naturalist #4) by Andrew Mayne

The Stranger Beside Me: Ted Bundy The Shocking Inside Story by Ann Rule

November 20, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

I enjoyed the hell out of this series — I downloaded the first one because Audible had it on some kind of special, and I ended up listening to all 4 books in less than three weeks. They reminded me a lot of Lincoln and Child’s Pendergast series — I loved these books about FBI agent Aloysius Pendergast when I was a teenager, and I have the sudden desire to reread them now that I’ve finished this series (book 4 does end of a cliffhanger, […]

Fiction Round Up

You Can Thank Me Later by Kelly Harms

The Book of Essie by Meghan MacLean Weir

The Dreamers by Karen Thompson Walker

The Wedding Party (The Wedding Date #3) by Jasmine Guillory

November 13, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

(4 stars) You Can Thank Me Later: A Novella by Kelly Harms I’ve found the Audible originals to be hit or miss (Scalzi’s The Dispatcher was probably the only other one I really liked) but they’re free and I like Kelly Harms, so I gave this one a shot. It was pretty good — sort of sappy, sort of cheesy, lots of good descriptions of food. So basically, like a Hallmark movie in an audiobook — which I do not intend to be an insult. […]

Non-Fiction Round Up

Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was a Girl: A Memoir by Jeannie Vanasco

A Wild and Precious Life: A Memoir by Edie Windsor, Joshua Lyon

Ordinary Girls by Jaquira Díaz

November 13, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

(5 stars) A Wild and Precious Life: A Memoir by Edie Windsor, Joshua Lyon I LOVED this book. LOVED it. It’s funny and smart and made me cry sad tears AND happy tears. If you know nothing about Edie Windsor, you probably at least know this: she brought the case United States v. Windsor to the Supreme Court in 2013, defeating section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act. Stories about Windsor and her wife Thea were everywhere — they had been together for 40 years, […]

Oh this book

Record of a Spaceborn Few (Wayfarers #3) by Becky Chambers

November 5, 2019 by badkittyuno 1 Comment

“From the ground, we stand. From our ships, we live. By the stars, we hope.” Becky Chambers’s writing just resonates with me. It’s something about how incredibly realistic her characters are, set against an absolutely fantastic background. She write these stories about people living on a spaceship with incredible detail, down to how they grow food, and dispose of their dead, and handle cultural clashes with actual aliens, yet they act like people you’ve known your entire lives. Her books are inclusive and expansive and […]

Always fun to read a thriller while camping

My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing

Watching You by Lisa Jewell

November 5, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

(3 stars) My Lovely Wife by Samantha Downing Okay honestly, this book was batshit crazy. But I downloaded it for free from the library because I needed something on my e-reader that I could read after dark, and I finished the whole thing in one evening. It’s bonkers, and I did find the ending rather unsatisfying (which is why I only gave it three stars). But it also entertained the hell out of me for the few hours it took to read. “My name is […]

I have had Carry On Wayward Son stuck in my head for days

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

Jackpot by Nic Stone

November 5, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

(4 stars) Wayward Son (Simon Snow #2) by Rainbow Rowell I was pretty excited for this one, and it mostly held up to the weight of my expectations. It’s hard not to draw parallels between Rowell’s characters and J.K. Rowling’s, but they’re certainly there. I do love some Penelope Bunce (because I love me some Hermione Granger), and she gets a chance to shine here. “But it was a mistake thinking of that as an end. There is no end. Bad things happen, and then […]
