Aggressively fine one-sitting read

Someone We Know by Shari Lapena

July 10, 2020 by chilejamie Leave a Comment

A woman goes missing in a close-knit neighborhood in Shari Lapena’s Someone We Know. Her husband is clearly a psychopath, but then again, the woman has committed the grave sin of being an attractive flirt. Shortly into the novel, the woman is found in the trunk of her own car, kicking off a a pretty straightforward whodunnit. Told mostly from the perspective of a neighbor of the murdered woman, the plot adds a wrinkle right off the bat: the neighbor’s son has been breaking into […]

Friends to lovers – but not the greatest of reads

My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren

July 9, 2020 by Malin Leave a Comment

#CBR12 Bingo: Friendship (the friendship between the two protagonists and the rest of their group is really central to the story) Official book description: Millie Morris has always been one of the guys. A UC Santa Barbara professor, she’s a female-serial-killer expert who’s quick with a deflection joke and terrible at getting personal. And she, just like her four best guy friends and fellow professors, is perma-single. So when a routine university function turns into a black-tie gala, Mille and her circle make a pact that […]

Doctor Who:  The Runaway Tardis by Kim Smith

July 9, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

cbr12bingo I wish I told someone today I am a “baby geek.” I can tell you the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek. I know Tom Baker is the “Doctor with the Scarf” and knew I would laugh alone when someone said I was a Shield Agent due to my required mask being a face shield, and them not getting the connection. And the Pop Classics book series (popular culture such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Back to the Future, and X-Files in a […]

cbr12bingo – Music!

Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011 by Lizzy Goodman

July 9, 2020 by andtheIToldYouSos Leave a Comment

The House of Jealous Lovers! Yes, it’s an excellent track by The Rapture. It could also be the title of this oral history (the actual title, Meet Me in the Bathroom, is a song by another prominently featured band, but we’ll get to that). This collection covers the movers, shakers, and hangers-on of NYC’s rock “revival” in the early hours of the 21st century- and man oh man are they a petty, catty, and jealous bunch! The “speakers” of this history are a collection of musicians, […]

Toss a coin to your witcher. #CBRBingo – Adaptation

Sword of Destiny (The Witcher, #0.75) by Andrzej Sapkowski

July 9, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

I have really turned around on this series! I feel like I need to re-read the first book now before moving onto the series proper, because I only experienced it in a grudging manner, and didn’t appreciate it for its good qualities. I will also be honest in that it was entirely the Netflix show that did the turning. I enjoyed it so much that it crystallized for me retroactively what people were seeing in the books. This second book in the Witcher series is […]

A twisty psychological thriller. #CBRBingo – No Money!

His & Hers by Alice Feeney

July 9, 2020 by narfna Leave a Comment

NB: I received a free ARC of HIS & HERS by Alice Feeney from Macmillan in an exchange for an honest review. I’m somewhat at a loss as to what to say about this book. I was given an ARC by the publisher back in February, but it never arrived because I’d moved, and the USPS doesn’t forward packages, apparently. So they kindly sent me an e-book ARC instead, and that was a disaster. I know me and I should have said no, because it’s […]
