CBR BINGO: Fauna Square (cat on the cover) Backman Summer continues and as the kids say: I’m not mad about it. Once I made my way through the two available Beartown books, I knew that I needed to pick this one up as well. I’m sure that I have mentioned in previous reviews that I love, love love a good epic tale. Spanning generations and continents is my bag. In my mind I also tend to throw “epic” around to describe those stories that may span generations […]

As this is the fifth book in the series, spoilers inevitably follow. In this installment, Charlotte and her posse are back […]

I had SUCH an unlucky coincidence reading this book

The Plot by Jean Hanff Korelitz

Bingo: City scape I experienced the craziest coincidence while reading this book, but sadly I can’t tell you about that experience without spoiling this thriller, so I’ll keep it general first, and add my spoilers below. I don’t often read thrillers, but sometimes a review just hooks me, especially when yearning for a pageturner while reading something else.

I listened to all the books in audio, as they are available as part of the Audible Plus catalogue. Considering that I already pay […]

“But it was a mistake thinking of that as an end. There is no end. Bad things happen, and then they stop, but they keep on wreaking havoc inside of people.”

Wayward Son by Rainbow Rowell

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.
