The Reverse of the Medal (Aubrey & Maturin #11) by Patrick O’Brian 16. The Mangle Street Murders (The Gower Street Detective #1) by M.R.C. Kasasian 17. Heroes Die (The Acts of Caine #1) by Matthew Woodring Stover I keep SAAAAAAIILING through the Aubrey & Maturin series as they drift away from the war in which they started. James Rollins has clearly run out of s–t to write about Indiana Jones style. I […]

https://killingmykindle.com/2019/02/12/episode-2-4-its-so-hard-to-say-goodbye-to-yesterday/ Wherein I review: 11 – Vultures (Miriam Black #6) by Chuck Wendig 12 – Fire & Blood by George R.R. Martin 13 – The Far Side of the World (Aubrey & Maturin #10) by Patrick O’Brian Jammed that B2M song right up in the thoughthole, eh? Chuck Wendig takes a bow on his Miriam Black books, and I get wistful. GRRM writes yet another damn book that isn’t Winds of Winter, but it did remind me of how much I love ASOIAF, so I’m […]

No Sunscreen for the Dead (Serge Storms #22) by Tim Dorsey 8. Treason’s Harbour (Aubrey & Maturin #9) by Patrick O’Brian 9. Ex-Isle (Ex-Heroes #5) by Peter Clines 10. Cadillac Desert by Marc Reisner Illness and big-ass books make for strange bedfellows. Peter Clines brings his superheroes vs. zombies saga to a close – definitely for now and probably for good. Serge keeps serging, spewing Florida trivia and murdering a-holes. Aubrey & Maturin […]

Bill the Galactic Hero On The Planet of Bottled Brains (Bill the Galactic Hero #3) by Harry Harrison 147. Elevation by Stephen King 148. The Surgeon’s Mate (Aubrey & Maturin #7) by Patrick O’Brian London Private is my least favorite of the private parts. Bill the Galactic Hero keeps punning horribly like an issue of Cracked before they became actual internet journalists. Stephen King keeps on busting out Castle Rock novellas, and […]

Desolation Island (Aubrey & Maturin #5) by Patrick O’Brian TRIPLE CANNONBALL ACHIEVED As my regularity falls apart like an Acapulco tourist’s bowel movements, I feverishly exploded across that third times a charm finish line.

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 “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
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.
