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!

The Water Trade

January 27, 2017 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

So this book is another audiobook that I borrowed from my library.  It’s narrated by a British guy, so everything sounds better.  I love love love the way he says the name of the town/district this all occurs in.  I just repeat “Robongi” over and over in my head after I’m done listening. SPOILERS AHOY! Lucie Blackman was a young, tall, blonde girl from England.  She lived a fairly normal life, and had a sister named Sophie, and a brother (whose name I can’t remember […]

Another Alice story…

January 21, 2017 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

I’m not really sure where to begin with this book. It’s super weird, but kinda fun at the same time. I’m nearly positive I liked it! It was a quick read too.  There’s a while bunch of other books in the series, so I’m definitely continuing on with Alice’s tales. So I’ll just start where the book starts. There’s a murder of a girl at Oxford University, and it looks like the Cheshire Cat did it. Like this guy: From Alice in Wonderland. Except in […]

Something’s afoot on the fjords

January 20, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

So once again, I can’t remember how I got onto this book, but I feel like someone recommended it to me. I put it on hold at my library like 4 months ago, and there were 52 people ahead of me. I finally just got it last weekend. At my library, you can’t renew books that have holds on them, so I knew I only had two weeks to read this one. It only took me 3 days. And if I started earlier on day […]

Forty-seven hours of book!

January 17, 2017 by kfishgirl 2 Comments

So this is a newer, more inclusive, unabridged version of The Stand.  There are some extra details that weren’t in the original book.  Having never read the original book, I will not know the difference.  The audiobook (which I borrowed from my library and downloaded immediately!) is forty-seven hours.  I’m determined to finish it in less than forty-seven days! I’m going to split up my review into a bunch of parts, because with a book this long, I don’t want stuff to get missed. OVERALL […]

I’m not sure about this series

January 6, 2017 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

OK, so according to the description on Amazon, it’s been nearly two years since Alice went down the rabbit hole and met the Biter queen (See my CBR8 review #48).  Her and her people and her biters have been through a lot.  I think it was book 2 (CBR8 review #49) where her people started to be kinda ok with the biters.  They also started communicating with the American resistance in that book. We start this book with a nuclear explosion in Shanghai.  I can’t […]
