Bingo Square: Backlog This is far from the book that has been in my to read pile longest when all my books are taken into consideration but purely from a Kindle/e-book perspective, it’s definitely towards the bottom of my library. Since I am so late to the game, I doubt there is much I can add to the discussion at this point. The novel is yet another spin on Pride and Prejudice, but instead of telling the story of Elizabeth and Darcy with a new […]
The 1950s Were Not a Good Time. At All. Yes This is a Regency Romance.
People have been telling me that I need to read Georgette Heyer’s books for a long time now. I just never really got around to it, I’d make a mental note and then just never pick up one of her books. So, knowing that I would need something for The White Whale slot, I finally picked up one of her books. I have issues, a lot of issues. I don’t know if those issues are singular to The Grand Sophy, but I’m not really willing […]
Interesting concept that didn’t quite scare (CBR10 Bingo, Cover art)
Over the summer, I read several books in the psychological suspense/thriller/unreliable female narrators genre. (Not sure what the actual term for the genre is!) I was trolling through my library’s Overdrive looking for books, and this one piqued my interest initially because I liked the cover art–I’m a big fan of the sort of artistically stylized covers, and also of creepy houses. The blurb also seemed like something I’d like to read: a historical fiction take on the thriller genre. The premise is that new […]
A Balancing Act of Pushing Boundaries That Is Sometimes Successful… Sometimes
After finishing the 3rd season of AMC’s tv adaptation of Preacher this summer, and then reading the subsequent article on Pajiba about where it may go from here based on clues from the comics, I figured it was a good time to maybe check out Garth Ennis’ books for myself: I am a fan of reading comics from time to time, and this at least has a clear start and finish unlike some other characters with their many many arcs and appearances in other series, […]
CBR Bingo: Cover Art
I actually struggled with the Cover Art Bingo square because a lot of times I pick books without ever looking at the cover. Review a book you pick solely on the title? I could write a dozen. I figured I’d know the book when I saw it (heh) and sure enough I was scrolling through Barnes & Nobel’s website during their Labor Day Sale and came across My Girls. At first I didn’t see the title or author just the photograph that takes up the bottom […]
CBR Bingo (2!): Cannonballer Halbs Says
The opening paragraph of fellow Cannonballer Halb’s review of The Madman and the Professor sealed the deal that this would be the choice for my “Cannonballer Says” Bingo square, “Fans of Comedy Central’s tv show “Drunk History” may be familiar with the story of Dr. William Minor: The Civil War doctor showed signs of struggling with mental health during and after the war (how could one not), and moved to London for a fresh start. Unfortunately, Dr. Minor suffered from the beliefs that all kinds of people […]
