Mr Mercedes

September 16, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

Well I have 8 pending book reviews to write so I figured today would be a good time to get started. I will keep this short and sweet to get some of my pending list completed. I read this book when I was on Vacation in Jamaica back in June and honestly don’t recall too much about it. I always enjoy Stephen King books, but this one was really more of junk food, I ate it up quickly and forgot about it just as quickly. […]

Once you start, you can’t stop!

July 9, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

You know that feeling when you’re reading a book and it’s so good that you want to keep reading it all the time but you also don’t want to finish too soon because you want to keep enjoying it for a longer time yet you can’t help yourself. That’s this book. I wrote the above sentence in February when I finished reading this book. I don’t know if I can really say much more about how much I loved this book, other than I am […]

Redrum, mmm Rum

March 11, 2014 by Alli 1 Comment

So it is pretty hard for me to give an objective review of a Stephen King book as I am what you would call a King junkie or as he calls it a Constant Reader. But the thing is really it is not like you are reading this review thinking, “Who is this Stephen King I keep hearing about? I wonder if he is any good?” You likely are already a fan, a disgruntled fan or a detractor. I fall into the straight up fan […]

Another Nonsense Allibaba77 Review

March 10, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

I am trying to catch up on my reviews but feel like I am starting to not make a lot of sense but I am just jazzed about reading and I am falling behind on reviews so this is my third one today, think it will be my last of the day but you never know. Tweak is said to be a tale about “growing up on meth-amphetamines” but really it is a story of recovery and relapse. . .  Nic Sheff is our tour […]

Rambles on iTunes Support and maybe a review in there somewhere

March 10, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

One of the drawbacks to being so far behind on my book reviews is that I lose many of the thoughts that I may have had about a particular book and then writing the review becomes much harder. I have started writing myself notes in my drafts but alas this one has no notes. One big thing that sticks out in my memory about this one is my audio book drama so I will relay that to you all, lucky you!   So I had […]

If there’s Sex in the Title it’s bound to be good right?

March 5, 2014 by Alli Leave a Comment

My boyfriend and I binge watched the Showtime series “Masters of Sex” and once I finished I was keen to learn more so I decided to read the book by Thomas Maier. In the past I had learned a bit about Masters and Johnson when reading “Bonk” so this book was not entirely unfamiliar territory. It was interesting to read how the book differed from reality (although even in a non-fiction book like this I am sure that some liberties were taken). Overall it was […]
