Review #1: Nothing to Lose.  This is book two in the Ziba MacKenzie series. Ziba’s a profiler helping out the cops in London.  She’s called to the scene of a murder of a woman.  There was apparently another woman killed there just over a week prior, and they both somehow look like Ziba. She’s not one to freak out, but she’s a little unnerved. She’s also secretly investigating her husband’s murder, and someone or multiple someones are starting to catch on.  Ziba found a flash […]

Birthday bingo

The Night Women by Sara Blaedel

August 29, 2019 by octothorp Leave a Comment

One day I will learn that remaindered books are not always the bargain I think they are because you’re only saving money on something cheap if you actually want it. I’m not the brightest in that regard. At least this is a good selection for my birthday bingo card; the author was born 8/6 and the book prominently features an abandoned newborn. I’m not one for mysteries typically, but I had just finished Tana French’s The Trespasser and realized I was nearing the end of […]

Massssss Update #1!! Here are some books I read in the past few months that I didn’t love.

Castaways by Brian Keene

All These Beautiful Strangers by Elizabeth Klehfoth

What You Did by Claire McGowan

Losing My Best Friend by Jeannie Wycherley

August 29, 2019 by kfishgirl 3 Comments

OK so the last time I posted a review was back in May.  It’s been a bit of a weird time since April.  I lost my pup of 10 years (he was 15), and I’ve been mourning him for a little bit.  He was my buddy for so long, and it took me / is still taking me some time to figure out life without him.  The first few weeks were weird because I was still worried about him.  Now I just miss him.  Here’s […]

Yes, the Title IS Quite a Mouthful

I thought It Was Just Me (But it Isn't): The Journey From "What Will People Think?" to " I Am Enough." by Brené Brown

August 28, 2019 by lumenatrix Leave a Comment

Technically this is a “Did Not Finish” because my library loan expired when I was about 30 pages from the end and I’m not going to bother re-borrowing it, mainly because I was so close to the end I’m certain I have gotten everything out of the book that I was going to get.  It’s fine. It’ll probably do more for some other folks, but for me it was fine. Self-help books like this usually aren’t my thing, but this is part of what I […]

Absolute Power Corrupts… Well, You Know…

The Power by Naomi Alderman

August 28, 2019 by lumenatrix 2 Comments

Man, this book is intense. I actually finished it a  while ago, but I had to digest it a little before I could even start to think about writing up a review. I liked it? I mean, I did like it, but there are some parts that are a little tough to get through. I’m glad I did though. This is a story asking the question, what would happen if, all of a sudden, every girl on the planet around 16 years of age could […]
