badkittyuno's Reviews:

I read three thrillers about people getting murdered in remote areas — while attending a wedding in the literal woods

The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager

A Dark Lure (Dark Lure #1) by Loreth Anne White

The Dark Bones (Dark Lure #2) by Loreth Anne White

September 23, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Luckily, the woods I stayed in were friendly, not murder-y. Still, my scenery definitely lent some atmosphere to my reading. A Dark Lure (Dark Lure #1) by Loreth Anne White Scenery and atmosphere definitely make this book. It takes place in a remote part of Canada — where everything is covered in snow, people protect their own, and no one can hear you if you cry for help. It is out of this environment that Sarah Lake stumbled 12 years ago, after spending an entire […]

The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (Montague Siblings #1) by Mackenzi Lee

The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy (Montague Siblings #2) by Mackenzi Lee

Final Girls by Riley Sager

September 17, 2019 by badkittyuno 2 Comments

And by hitting publish, I will be 100% caught up on reviews! (4 stars) Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren I am on a Christina Lauren kick. After loving The Unhoneymooners, a friend recommended Josh and Hazel’s Guide to Not Dating — and about half a dozen other books by the writing duo. So far, I have not been disappointed! “I learned a very important thing that day: my mom would never try to change for a man, and I wouldn’t, either.” […]

#IMomSoHard by Kristin Hensley, Jen Smedley

Where Am I Now? by Mara Wilson

Little Panic: Dispatches from an Anxious Life by Amanda Stern

Raising Demons by Shirley Jackson

September 16, 2019 by badkittyuno Leave a Comment

Now that I’m done with Bingo, I am determined not to let myself get behind on reviews again. I expect this determination to last AT LEAST 3 days, til I leave town for two trips over two weeks, finish 15 books and fall into a black hole again. But first! Some non-fiction reviews. (5 stars) Life Among the Savages (Jacksons #1) by Shirley Jackson Other than a few references (like lighting up cigarette on the way to deliver her third child!), Jackson could have written […]

September 11, 2019 by badkittyuno 4 Comments

Here are several YA novels, most of which were pretty good (Pulp was GREAT) if anyone needs to fill a Youths square! (4 stars) A Study in Charlotte (Charlotte Holmes #1) by Brittany Cavallaro I was going to wait and review these for the Sherlock Retelling discussion, but then I realized I’ll be out of town for that and I’m terrible about participating in those discussion anyway so instead I’m going to review it now so y’all can read it and discuss it in my place.

CBR11Bingo: The Collection & Reader’s Choice — BLACKOUT!

A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction by Terry Pratchett

Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother's Will to Survive by Stephanie Land

September 8, 2019 by badkittyuno 4 Comments

Woohoo! I’ve got a blackout board and I’m almost completely caught up on reviews (10 left after this one). A Blink of the Screen: Collected Shorter Fiction by Terry Pratchett I don’t normally read or really enjoy short stories, so this is definitely a good example of Bingo making us broaden our horizons! I found this short story collection by searching “collection” on Overdrive. I had thought I might reread some Stephen King or Neil Gaimen short stories, but when I saw this Terry Prachett […]

CBR11Bingo: Classics

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë

September 6, 2019 by badkittyuno 2 Comments

I tried really hard guys. I want to be a person who likes Charlotte Brontë or Jane Austen and reads loftier works then the YA fiction and detective thrillers that make up the bulk of my TBR. I figured Bingo will be a great opportunity to force me to get something a little different a shot, so I downloaded Jane Eyre. I was hoping that listening to it on audio book might make it more enjoyable then trying to read the print version (which I […]
