A cool collaboration of thriller writers and characters

Face Off by David Baldacci

April 26, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

This is the second collaboration audiobook I’ve borrowed and read from my library. I got into it because of my buddy Michael Connelly. If you read my previous review that I just posted, you’ll know that maybe he’s not my buddy after all, but Harry Bosch is. Conveniently, Harry is in this book! The wording on Goodreads calls this “an unprecedented collaboration”, which sounds very grand. I didn’t really get it until I looked at all the authors involved and listened to the intro. Apparently […]

An almost unbelievable true crime story

Joe Cinque's Consolation by Helen Garner

April 26, 2022 by kniki Leave a Comment

I listened to this audio book as part of my project to read Helen Garner’s collection of books this year and also because of my horror/fascination at the crime and subsequent trial featured within. (As proof of this, I found the book on my shelf a few weeks after I finished listening, completely forgetting I had bought it at a second hand booksale.) In Australia the late 90s, a uni student plotted to murder her boyfriend, letting her best friend and some other uni mates […]

Broken (in the best possible way) by Jenny Lawson

April 24, 2022 by Sophia Leave a Comment

These days it seems the only books I have time for are audiobooks. In a desperate search for another audiobook at the library, I found Broken (in the best possible way) (2021) by Jenny Lawson. This is my first experience with Lawson, although she is a New York Times bestselling author and famous blogger. I found some parts of this book witty, some parts moving, and some parts a little trying. On the whole I definitely liked it, but it’s not one of my favorites. The most […]

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling

April 21, 2022 by Sophia 2 Comments

I am a huge fan of The Office, and I recently enjoyed the first season of Never Have I Ever (produced by Mindy Kaling). I also generally enjoy memoirs written by comedians because I find them good and entertaining writers. So, I picked up Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (2011) on audiobook by Mindy Kaling (and read by Mindy Kaling). Kaling discusses her childhood friends, her college education at Dartmouth, her early time in New York City, doing the off-Broadway play that first got her noticed, working on The Office, […]

The Hollow – 4/5 Stars This is one of the mid-career Poirot novels, and it’s one of the ones where Poirot begins to revise and critique the ways in which crimes are investigated. We begin with a group of people on an estate swooning and hand-wringing about their wonderful, innocent, and sad friend Gerda, who seems to be married to someone who doesn’t love her. This is one of those Christie novels that takes place on a country estate, like several others, and like others, […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.

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.
