I love to read. I'm usually reading at least 3 books at a time. They're not all good... some are really bad. I have trouble not finishing books though. Now CBR has doubled down on that trouble, because I want to get credit for reading the bad ones too!

This small revolution was suuper small.

A Small Revolution by Jimin Han

So I got this book back in April 2017, and I just got around to reading it last month.  I guess there was maybe a reason for that!  It seemed like it was going to be good, but I really didn’t like it that much.  Conveniently though, it fulfills my #Own Voices Bingo square!  Jimin Han is a Korean American author, and her main characters are all Korean American. The main character is a Korean American college student in Pennsylvania who met the love of […]

So my sister is getting her Master’s degree in Art Education.  She’s currently in a class about picture books (or something along those lines).  Her homework for this week was to compare three different versions of a picture book, so since I thought at least two of the three books would work for me for bingo squares, I joined her in reading the books for her homework.  We got my nine year old niece involved too.  She actually read the books aloud to us, which […]

Would you have stopped? Would it have made a difference?

The Breakdown by B. A. Paris

by Leave a Comment

Imagine  you’re driving down a super dark, windy road, full of twists and turns.  There are dips and bumps, and it’s raining.  The trees feel like they’re closing in on you, but you see headlights up ahead!  Almost too late, you realize the car is stopped, and you have to swerve around them.  Is the person stranded?  Do you stop and help them?  You don’t want to get out in the rain…   This is the premise of The Breakdown.  The main character – Cass […]

What if you weren’t sure if your old friend murdered his entire family?

The Dry by Jane Harper

My sister gave me this book to read after she read the entire thing on our Christmas vacation at the end of last year in like two days.  She loved it, and she wanted me to love it too.  Unfortunately my to be read pile was waaaay too high, and it takes me a while to read “actual” books, so it took me a while to get to this book.  Fortunately though, I read it in two days!  It was really good.  I liked the […]

We don’t know what happens Behind Closed Doors…

Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris

by Leave a Comment

So I cheated a little bit with this one.  A coworker read this book and lent it to me because she loved it and wanted to talk about it.  I went to my trusty old CBR page to see if anyone had reviewed it.  I saw that badkittyuno read it and loved it, so I knew it was a safe bet: behind-closed-doors-badkittyuno/ So this book will be fulfilling my cbr11bingo Cannonballer Says square! When my friend Brianne gave me the book she said she read […]

My little pups are waiting for me over the rainbow bridge

The Rainbow Bridge by Adrian Raeside

by 3 Comments

So unfortunately I’m reviewing The Rainbow Bridge again!  I reviewed it last year for my Two Heads are Better than One square when I lost my Ernie.  Now I’m doing a repeat for my Two Heads are Better than One square this year because I lost my Oscar. It’s never easy to lose a dog (unless you’re a MONSTER).  I feel like it’s even harder when you have to share your loss with two little girls who don’t know life without him.  Oscar was my […]
