This was fun! I was in the perfect mood when I checked this out of the library, and my library participates with one of those digital audiobook lenders, so I was able to carry it everywhere with me. I listened to it in the car, while I was cooking, doing chores, checking my emails, cleaning my fish tank, getting ready in the morning, etc. The library is enabling me. I’m not sure I’ve ever read an audiobook so fast before (of course, I usually only […]
Just read this damn book
Well, it took me a little longer to get through than badkittyuno took to get through (two days, not one evening) but Big Little Lies has set a high bar for my second Cannonballread. I had never heard of this book until my sister was returning it to our mutual friend on Sunday before stopping to ask if I wanted to shot at it first. I’m glad I said yes! At the start of the book there is a murder at a local Elementary school […]
Cletus the Slack Jawed Yokel Would Rate It Two Meth Teeth out of Five

She’s come to stir shit and chew gum, and she’s all out of gum. Lady Jane is horrid to everyone, and seems to have some dirt on every person […]

450 pages in one evening…that’s a good book!
This book was so. freaking. good. Just go read it. The book starts with a murder at a fundraising event for an elementary school called Pirriwee Public in Australia. Then we back up six months and meet the characters. “Glittery girl” Madeline has a teenager daughter with her ex, whose child with his new yoga-loving wife is in Madeline’s youngest (with her new husband)’s kindergarten class. Then there’s gorgeous, wealthy Celeste and her twin boys, also in the same class. And new to the area Jane, who is […]
