cbr10bingo… Underrepresented I really wish I liked the main character more. I picked this audiobook (in CD form) up from the library on a whim. The cover looked cool, and the story sounded interesting. I’m always up for a murder mystery with a dash of hidden identities. The main character is Polly / Pauline. She starts out by abandoning her daughter and husband on their beach vacation and driving to Delaware. I don’t know if this was the point, but I didn’t like her right […]
John Rain goes to Rio
So after the events of book two, where John almost gets killed a few times, he activates his escape plan. John had been cultivating a false identity in Brazil for years in the eventuality that he’d need to get out of Japan and start a new life. Unfortunately, one of the women he met in Japan is actually from Brazil, and she returns home and they start seeing each other again. She unknowingly (he thinks knowingly) leads them to John, and he’s almost killed again. […]
I wanted to laugh more!
cbr10bingo… Alabama Pink I listened to this book, which I think is the optimal way to read it. It wasn’t narrated by Chelsea, but the narrator was good. I read this for cbr10bingo, and it was my Alabama Pink choice. I remember when CBR first started, and I thought “there’s no way I can read that many books”, and now I’m on my fourth CBR and kicking ass. I love it. Bingo is a new and exciting twist this year that’s just making me want […]
Holy freaking crap this was a long book.
cbr10bingo… Home something home So as my title suggests, this book was INSANELY long. And I’ve read IT by Stephen King!!! Ok I just checked, It was twice as long as this book. Why did it feel like the other way around??? I think Mr. Cronin went to the Stephen King school of TELL ME EVERY FREAKING DETAIL ABOUT EVERY FREAKING THING, and then took it fifty five steps further. Even though it doesn’t sound like it, I did like the book. I just absolutely […]
John Rain might be trying to get out of the game?
cbr10bingo… Dream Vacation Ok so this book falls into the “Dream Vacation” category for cbr10bingo for 2 reasons: Tokyo and Osaka: John moved to Osaka to get away from the people who might want to kill him, but he travels back to Tokyo for most of the book. I’ve never particularly wanted to go to Tokyo, but he makes it sound so interesting. He goes to the little places that aren’t touristy, are off the beaten path, and that have great food. The food he […]

The book was better?… cbr10bingo So I literally picked up this book from the library because I saw the trailer for the movie. It couldn’t have fit better into cbr10 bingo if I tried! I’m someone who likes to read the book before watching the movie or TV show, so there are probably a lot of these that could fit this category. Looking at some stills from the movie and reading a little about it (today after I’m done reading the book), it looks like […]
