This is a good little mystery that I couldn’t get into

BINGO – Bodies (as in, dead ones) The Thursday Murder Club is a group of amateur-detective pensioners who all live at Cooper’s Chase retirement community. The Club consists of Ibrahim, Ron, Elizabeth, and newcomer Joyce. Their usually sleepy community is suddenly rocketed to the forefront of police attention when a handful of individuals connected to the community are murdered. The Thursday Murder Club is also on the case. They are using a lifetime of experience and ample time to dig up clues, identify suspects, and […]

This is bad math. Egregiously bad math.

A Slice of Pi by Liz Strachan

October 1, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 5 Comments

BINGO – Font (though truthfully, you should not go to this book for math information) Let me just start by just saying that this book is not a good book for learning or even remembering anything related to math. Overall, this book feels more like a chance for author Liz Strachan to reflect on her 36 years of mathematics education experience and boast about much her students just absolutely loved math and how easy math was for all of her students. This book is 161 […]

Does everyone suck? Well, at least they have magic

A collection that never really comes together

Time is a Mother by Ocean Vuong

September 21, 2022 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

BINGO – Verse In this collection of poetry, Ocean Vuong, according to the summary on Goodreads, “Ocean Vuong searches for life among the aftershocks of his mother’s death, embodying the paradox of sitting within grief while being determined to survive beyond it.” Here’s the thing, though. I didn’t experience any of that. The entire collection feels like Vuong had poems that he had lying around that hadn’t been published yet that sold as a meditation on grief, hoping no one would look too closely. “The […]

I don’t understand how a book can end without an ending

All of Us Villians by Amanda Foody, Christine Lynn Herman

September 12, 2022 by Mobius_Walker 1 Comment

BINGO – Dough (because one of the authors last name is Foody and the characters deal with classism throughout the book) Let’s just get this out of the way. This book was not for me. Every 20 years, the Blood Veil falls and 7 teenagers fight to the death in a tournament to determine which family will control High Magick in Ilvernath. Common magick is, well, common enough for small fixes in everyday life, but high magick is where the real power is. For centuries, […]

There’s a moment that I thought was going to be a phenomenal ending – and then there was a quarter of the book left

Binti: Night Masquerade by Nnedi Okorafor

September 12, 2022 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

BINGO – Funky (because of the ending(s)) Binti travels back home with a fellow harmonizer from the Desert People tribe, Mwinye because they know that the Koush, a group of people who represent the majority of Earth are looking for Binti and and her Meduse friend Owku. The Koush and the Meduse have been at war for centuries and the Koush have attacked and destroyed much of Binti’s Himba community including her home in search of this one Meduse. Seems like a bit of an […]

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
