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 title totally drew me in!

Ernest Cunningham #1 Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

by 1 Comment

I don’t know how I came across this book, but I really liked it. I listened to the audiobook, which was really fun. We first meet the narrator Ernest, but everyone calls him Ern or Ernie. This immediately endears him to me because I used to have a crazy, mostly deaf dog named Ernie. You can look back at reviews from years ago to see him! Everyone in Ernie’s family (including himself) has killed someone. Sometimes it was an accident, sometimes it wasn’t. Sometimes it […]

Let’s keep all the Holmes’ together

Sherlock Holmes #3 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

Enola Holmes #9 Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose by Nancy Springer

Sherlock Holmes #6 The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

by 1 Comment

So I got into Sherlock Holmes via his sister Enola. I read all of the Enola Holmes books when my niece wanted to watch the movies on Netflix a bit ago. I love her as a character, and Sherlock is in most of her books, so I figured I’d check him out. I must say I like Enola’s Sherlock better than the original Sherlock. He’s a bit prickly and I think has some untreated mental disorders. This book is a collection of short stories, which […]

More Freida!

The Inmate by Freida McFadden

by Leave a Comment

  And here we go again with Freida! I must’ve been on a rampage in July. I feel like I put a whole bunch of the same kind of books on hold, and then they all come available at once! This book is about Brooke Sullivan, who is a single mom and a nurse just starting a new job at a men’s maximum security prison. She’s not very good at not telling the inmates her personal business. Oh and the man who nearly killed her […]

Returning to CBR after the summer of moving!

Never Lie by Freida McFadden

by Leave a Comment

OK full disclosure. Most of my July and August was spent moving into my new house. Then I guess I rested in September? I’m not sure! But I’m back and I’m reviewing the tons of books that I read since July! My coworker got me started on Freida McFadden books. I don’t know how many I’ve read now, but I seem to like them. She has a way of leading me down a path where I think I know how it will end, and then […]

OMG I love these old crime fighters

The Thursday Murder Club (Thursday Murder Club #1) by Richard Osman

by 3 Comments

So, this is another Audible book that my sister bought that I get to enjoy. Thankfully she bought all three, so I get to listen to them all! This is book one. The premise of this this book was totally new and refreshing to me. The closest parallel I can make is to the Netflix show “Only Murders in the Building.” It’s kind of a loose parallel though. Anyway, we get pulled in immediately as Elizabeth, an octogenarian asks her friend Joyce, a former nurse […]

Another Thursday Murder Club story that I loved

The Bullet that Missed (Thursday Murder Club #3) by Richard Osman

by Leave a Comment

OMG these amazing people again. Of course there’s a new murder to solve. The gang decides to look into the disappearance and presumed murder of a local journalist. Although the case is intriguing, Elizabeth thinks Joyce wants to investigate it to meet famous people. She’s only half wrong. They get to meet another local journalist who was very close with the missing woman. He was devastated when she went missing and has been looking for her ever since. There’s also a subplot where a baddie […]
