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 Last Enola Holmes book

The Case of the Gypsy Good-Bye / The Case of the Disappearing Duchess (Enola Holmes #6) by Nancy Springer

by Leave a Comment

This book has two titles. I’m guessing it’s because “gypsy” isn’t the best label. It’s literally just describing the bands of gypsy people that Enola’s mom escaped with though. At any rate, there are two story lines in this book. Enola gets a message from her mom (the gypsy good-bye), and there’s also a missing duchess. Of course, both Enola and Sherlock are looking for the missing Lady Blanchefleur del Campo. Unfortunately for Sherlock, he’s not so great at missing persons cases, and Enola is. […]

Her whole family was murdered and she’s not OK

Out of the Ashes by Kara Thomas

Samantha Newsom is leaving her shift as a nurse to help assist in the suicide of her terminally ill uncle Gil at the beginning of this story. It’s quite a tone to set immediately. The next morning, Sam gets a call that her uncle has died (duh), but nobody suspects any foul play. Hot take – you should be allowed to decide when you and how you die if you’re terminally ill. But that’s a topic for another time. Sam heads back out to Gil’s […]

We meet our main character Isla as she’s photographing some rich people on a yacht. She sounds like a good photographer, but then she has a seizure and falls into the water. Her mom is scared and so is she. Isla is also looking for a little bit of adventure though. She feels trapped in Sydney and wants to branch out. She randomly finds an ad for a month-long assignment in the Scottish Highlands photographing a renowned architect and his family and estate. Once Isla […]

This Anonymous Girl made herself known

An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks, Sarah Pekkanen

I borrowed this book from a coworker a while ago. As I’ve stated previously, I have trouble with actual books. I read the most in my bed in the dark on my Kindle. Real books hurt when they hit you in the face because you fell asleep reading them. I have a feeling I might make some more time to read real books in my new house though. I’m moving in at the end of the month, and this is just one of the many […]

Eat to nourish your body and soul

Eat to Love: A Mindful Guide to Transforming Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Life by Jenna Hollenstein

by Leave a Comment

So I’ve been on a non-diet journey for a few years now. I’ve been through a lot of diets in my years, and I know how harmful they are and how they do not work. I already will never diet again in my life. Because of that, some of this book was kinda old news for me. I’m familiar with “magical eating”, which is basically classifying foods as “good” and “bad”, focusing on calories and weight loss rather than how food makes you feel and […]

More Thursday Murder Club!!

The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club #2) by Richard Osman

by Leave a Comment

OK so this is literally the Thursday after the end of the first book. Like I said – I fell in love with these characters. I want to be in the Thursday Murder Club. I feel like I’d be a snack contributor though. These people have contacts and make connections that are really impressive! I could make really impressive snacks! We start out with Elizabeth getting a letter from her ex-husband, who is supposed to be dead. Sidebar – I love how in all of […]
