Episode 1-34: It’s a Dead Man’s Party, Who Could Ask For More?

September 15, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/09/15/episode-1-34-its-a-dead-mans-party-who-could-ask-for-more/ Wherein I review: 134. Johannes Cabal the Necromancer (Johannes Cabal #1) by Jonathan L. Howard 135. The Masked City (The Invisible Library #2) by Genevieve Cogman I fall in love with an evil bastard and our Librarian heroine continues swashbuckling through steampunk fantasticness.  And I begin to fall woefully behind in my reading.

September 4, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

The Invisible Library (Invisible Library #1) by Genevieve Cogman I wax ecstatic over the recent trend of inclusion of homosexuality in fantasy and fiction and how it makes all the neckbeards cry into their fedoras.  Gregory Maguire brings […]

Episode 1-32: Heroes Depends On What Side of History You Stand

August 27, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/27/episode-1-32-heroes-depend-on-which-side-of-history-you-stand/ Wherein I review: 126. The Cuckoo’s Egg by Clifford Stoll 127. Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by James Swanson A little historicalisciousness. Cliff Stoll was one of the first people to track down international hackers.  TOPICAL.  And we learn that his name was Mudd because he was a f–king dirty ass Confederate who was all down with kidnapping Lincoln.

Episode 1-30: The Kids Aren’t Alright

August 13, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/13/episode-1-30-the-kids-arent-alright/ Wherein I review: 116. Marlena by Julie Buntin 117. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty 118. The Money Shot (Teddy Fay #2) by Stuart Woods Kids are the f–king worst!  Marlena reads like an AA confessional, part ghost story, that really has no third act.  Big Little Lies gave me the chance to read a novel that has been turned into a television show where I know one of the actors.  Weird, but fun, especially since the original is Australian, so now I’m picturing […]
