There Are Runners and Then There Are RUNNERS

Solo by Jenny Tough

by 1 Comment

Best for: Runners; those looking for some inspiration and motivation. In a nutshell: Author Tough runs, solo, across mountain ranges on five continents. Worth quoting: “The thing that I know for sure is that you are tougher than you think you are.” Why I chose it: I run. What it left me feeling: Impressed Review: I started listening to this book as I waited to start my fifteenth half marathon race. I though I would find it motivating, but really I was just overwhelmed by […]

I guess I’m back to my old tricks of starting a series at book number three! I don’t know how I do it, but I have a knack for starting at three. Not two, not four, but three. There are many times through the history of my CBRs where I started a series at three. I usually go back and start from one after finishing the third book though! Since this is book three, the duo of Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agent Amy […]

This title totally drew me in!

Ernest Cunningham #1 Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone by Benjamin Stevenson

by 1 Comment

I don’t know how I came across this book, but I really liked it. I listened to the audiobook, which was really fun. We first meet the narrator Ernest, but everyone calls him Ern or Ernie. This immediately endears him to me because I used to have a crazy, mostly deaf dog named Ernie. You can look back at reviews from years ago to see him! Everyone in Ernie’s family (including himself) has killed someone. Sometimes it was an accident, sometimes it wasn’t. Sometimes it […]

Let’s keep all the Holmes’ together

Sherlock Holmes #3 The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

Enola Holmes #9 Enola Holmes and the Mark of the Mongoose by Nancy Springer

Sherlock Holmes #6 The Return of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

by 1 Comment

So I got into Sherlock Holmes via his sister Enola. I read all of the Enola Holmes books when my niece wanted to watch the movies on Netflix a bit ago. I love her as a character, and Sherlock is in most of her books, so I figured I’d check him out. I must say I like Enola’s Sherlock better than the original Sherlock. He’s a bit prickly and I think has some untreated mental disorders. This book is a collection of short stories, which […]

More Freida!

The Inmate by Freida McFadden

by Leave a Comment

  And here we go again with Freida! I must’ve been on a rampage in July. I feel like I put a whole bunch of the same kind of books on hold, and then they all come available at once! This book is about Brooke Sullivan, who is a single mom and a nurse just starting a new job at a men’s maximum security prison. She’s not very good at not telling the inmates her personal business. Oh and the man who nearly killed her […]

Returning to CBR after the summer of moving!

Never Lie by Freida McFadden

by Leave a Comment

OK full disclosure. Most of my July and August was spent moving into my new house. Then I guess I rested in September? I’m not sure! But I’m back and I’m reviewing the tons of books that I read since July! My coworker got me started on Freida McFadden books. I don’t know how many I’ve read now, but I seem to like them. She has a way of leading me down a path where I think I know how it will end, and then […]
