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!

What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher

by Leave a Comment

This book was so weird and different, but I totally loved it. I listened to the audiobook and I had to keep pausing and rewinding it because there were so many little gems. There are some truly creepy moments in this book, and the main “bad guy” is just gross. I loved it all. Alex Easton is a retired soldier who gets a letter that their childhood friend is dying. Alex travels to the home of the Ushers in rural Gallatia, where they used to […]

A satisfying journey

The Breakaway by Jennifer Weiner

by Leave a Comment

I can’t remember the last time I read a Jennifer Weiner book. It’s probably been twenty years! She’s not exactly my current cup of tea (murder, murder, kidnapping that leads to murder, mystery, murder, etc). I think I heard her getting interviewed on npr and the topic just spoke to my soul, so I knew I had to read this book. The gist of this book is about a girl who lives in a larger body, has some issues with that body (both in her […]

To continue the summer of Freida…

The Locked Door by Freida McFadden

by Leave a Comment

Ok this summer of Freida story was a little hit or miss. I liked a bunch of it, but there were times where it was a little unbelievable. Our main character is Nora Davis, who is a surgeon. She seems like a good person, but she’s harboring a dark secret. For years when she was a little girl, her dad was murdering women in the basement of their home. Nora spends her life mostly alone and actively rebuffs attention from people who want to change […]

I was on a “And Then There Were None” kick with mixed results

One by One by Freida McFadden

One by One by Ruth Ware

Ok I read the original Agatha Christie version of this story, “And then there were none” a while ago, and then I apparently went on a bender. I know I’ve read at least one or two other versions before this one too. Here is Freida’s version, because it was apparently a summer of Freida for me. I thoroughly enjoy the premise of these “and then there were none” stories, because it’s usually a group of seemingly innocent but secretly kinda crappy people who one by […]

A murder podcast is nothing new – unless it helps the murderer target you!

Girl Forgotten by April Henry

by Leave a Comment

Ooh this one was cool.  A teenage girl starts a true crime podcast, which is super of the moment. There are more true crime podcasts than one human can keep up with these days. Hers is part of her high school senior year project though, which makes it a little more interesting in the grand scheme of things. She starts out the book walking through a cemetery (I can’t remember why?) and comes across a grave. Ooh and she’s in a new town because something […]

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #3 Shadow of Death by Heather Graham

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #1 Danger in Numbers by Heather Graham

Amy Larson & Hunter Forrest FBI #2 Crimson Summer by Heather Graham

I guess I’m back to my old tricks of starting a series at book number three! I don’t know how I do it, but I have a knack for starting at three. Not two, not four, but three. There are many times through the history of my CBRs where I started a series at three. I usually go back and start from one after finishing the third book though! Since this is book three, the duo of Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agent Amy […]
