This is the first book by Liane Moriarty that I have read, and I’m definitely looking forward to reading more of her work. She manages to capture the struggles of daily life, for upper middle-class, white Australians yes, without dropping too heavily into melodrama and angst. The sorrows and tribulations of these characters never felt forced or clumsy and each event progressed naturally from the last and she does it all with a deft, light touch. This is mostly highlighted because the book I am […]
If Your Heels Are Nimble and Light
Babylon’s Ashes is book six in The Expanse series, a series that I love and adore. However, this book took me four months to read. FOUR MONTHS. I kept putting it down for weeks at a time and I feel a little weird about that. I really, honestly like this book. There are a couple of reasons for that, but I feel like I need to make it clear that I really, really do love this book. If I were a tween with a notebook, […]
This book left me debating whether to give the series a second chance
This is the third book in The Chronicles of Saint Mary’s. I have been listening to this book for a about a month, which is a long time in audiobooks. I started listening to the audiobook in February during a brainless task at work. That task stopped while I was mid-book and since then I would occasionally listen to it on my drive home, but not with any consistency. I think after three books, even if they are from the same series, I can conclude that I […]
I Stand Alone on this Hill
I’m going to be the cheese that stands alone on this one, and I’m ok with that but I thought I should warn you. I know this is a much beloved book by many Cannonballers however, I find myself extremely underwhelmed by it. A large resounding meh is about all I can work up for it, and if I’m honest for The Bloggess and her blog. Which is probably an indication that this book really wasn’t for me in the first place. So yes, this […]
Dickensian Gaslamp Fantasy
I enjoyed Emma Newman’s Split World series quite a bit, so I was excited when I heard that she had a new series started. Brother’s Ruin is the start to the series, and the second book will also come out sometime this year, I’m really excited. I enjoyed Brother’s Ruin a lot, and I look forward to the next one. The book is set smack dab in alternate 1850s England, an alternate world where magic users exist. Unfortunately, the Royal Society of the Esoteric Arts […]
Carnivals, Monsters, and Magic- Oh My
I got a surprise when I opened my Kindle on Friday. See, the email I use for Amazon was being annoying on my phone, so I wasn’t getting emails and I frequently forget the release dates for books. When I opened my Kindle and saw the cover of Magic for Nothing staring out at me, ready for my reading pleasure, I died of happiness. It was the best. Magic for Nothing is book six in Seanan McGuire’s Incryptid series, and is really not the place […]
