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!

Did she kill him or nah?

Silent Victim by Caroline Mitchell

by Leave a Comment

I’m writing this review and my previous one back to back.  It’s only serving to prove my previous hypothesis – I read a lot of books about people being gaslit!  I actually enjoyed this one though.  The people were much less dumb than the previous one. So we’re introduced to Emma, a “typical” wife and mother, but she has a secret.  Well, she has a few, but there’s one big one.  She murdered her art teacher that she had an “affair” with when she was […]

Ooh I hate read most of this book!

What Have You Done by Matthew Farrell

by Leave a Comment

Somehow I end up reading a lot of books where one of the main characters is gaslighted a lot.  I’m totally not into that in real life, but apparently I’m into reading about it?  Is there something wrong with me?  I guess I’ll have to discuss that with my therapist.  Note to self: get therapist. Anyway, our intrepid hero Liam is a forensic crime scene technician, and he’s called to a scene that scares him one day.  It’s a woman he was having an affair […]

Why would a mother do this?

To the Bridge by Nancy Rommelmann

by Leave a Comment

I don’t really know how I found this book.  I read it a couple months ago, and there have been so many books since then that I just can’t remember!  Anyway, this book is a true story, and at times it was hard to read.  Here’s a quick synopsis of what happened: In Oregon in May 2009, Amanda Stott-Smith dropped her two kids off a bridge into the river.  Her four year old son died, but her seven year old daughter lived.  Amanda was almost […]

Cause baby now we got bad blood

Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Startup by John Carreyrou

by Leave a Comment

OMG this book annoyed me so much!  The writing was great, and it was so well investigated, but the characters drove me bonkers!  To think that they’re all real people makes me even madder.  I borrowed this book from my library back in the winter.  I got about fifty pages in and was just so frustrated with it that I ran out of time and didn’t get to finish before someone else placed a hold.  Then I kinda forgot about it for a while.  Once […]

Smaller Mass Update #3: Books about a guy who owns a dog or two

Open and Shut by David Rosenfelt

First Degree by David Rosenfelt

Dog Tags by David Rosenfelt

by Leave a Comment

Ok these three together actually makes sense!  They’re all from the same series, and they’re all about a lawyer who loves his dog.  Any one of these books can fulfill my “I Love This” bingo square, because I love dogs, and I love legal thrillers.  In real life, I love dogs more, so don’t worry about me! Here’s #1!  I again started a series at book number 1.  I think CBR is reforming my ways. In this book, we’re introduced to Andy, who is a […]

Mass Update #2: Even Masser than the first. These are all the usual books I read – mystery / murder / suspense. I think I liked them all!

Nothing to Lose by Victoria Selman

Rapid Falls by Amber Cowie

The Killer Ascendant by Barry Eisler

A Killer's Mind by Mike Omer

In the Darkness by Mike Omer

Dark Sacred Night by Michael Connelly

Zero Day by David Baldacci

The Whistler by John Grisham

Witness to a Trial by John Grisham

Review #1: Nothing to Lose.  This is book two in the Ziba MacKenzie series. Ziba’s a profiler helping out the cops in London.  She’s called to the scene of a murder of a woman.  There was apparently another woman killed there just over a week prior, and they both somehow look like Ziba. She’s not one to freak out, but she’s a little unnerved. She’s also secretly investigating her husband’s murder, and someone or multiple someones are starting to catch on.  Ziba found a flash […]
