I’m not quite sure exactly how many of these Stephanie Plum books I’ve reviewed for CBRs over the years. Five? Six? And every time, I tell myself I’m not going to bother reading the next one. But I do. And every time, I’m angry that literally NOTHING happens to propel the plot or the characters, and that all they do is drive around New Jersey eating junk food and blowing up cars. But the library had this when I went in before SNOWZILLA hit last week, […]
You deserve somebody better girl
Lisa Kleypas has written so many books that I loved that maybe I was anticipating this one too much! It didn’t live up to my lofty expectations. Not that it was colossally bad, but my attention wandered as I read, I found myself skimming parts, and the romance I expected was lack luster. Devon Ravenel is the rake of this story, and as rakes are wont to do he enjoys his life of wine, women and debauchery. Then his cousin dies, leaving him with an […]
CBR8 Reviews 5-7 I binged through the first three books in Louise Penny’s Inspector Gamache series in about a week’s time. Unlike my previous three book binge, this one was out of sheer pleasure. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache is the head of the Surêté du Québec and he and his team are assigned to look into a suspicious death in a small town outside of Montreal called Three Pines. In Three Pines, we meet a cast of characters and most of the first book […]

“What if Heaven is real, but only in moments?”
I don’t really even know how to begin to review this book. This was one of those books where I finished the last page and wanted to cry because it was over and I’m never going to find out what happened to these characters and the world they live in. But I’m also happy that this was the first David Mitchell book I’ve ever read and now I have a bunch more to read. But I’m also afraid for the characters and for humanity. Basically, this is […]
YA version of The Bachelor masquerading as dystopian fiction
CBR8 Reviews 2-4 Let’s just get this out of the way up front: these books are dumb. I tried, I really did, but man are they painful. So be warned, there shall be ranting and SPOILERS ahead (I’ll mark where the spoilers start later in the post.) America Singer (yes, that’s a name) is a seventeen-year-old girl, the middle of five children of a family of artists. In their society, the family is considered a Five. Ones are the most privileged – the Royal […]
Consider me a Fangirl fangirl
Cath wants to be a writer, but she doesn’t want to write just anything. You see, Cath is a Simon Snow (this fictional world’s version of Harry Potter) fan. She might even be the biggest Simon Snow fan there is. She spends most of her time writing fan fiction about Simon and his nemesis, Baz, and it’s the only thing she loves to do, but she can’t do it forever and she’s not sure she’s up to the task of writing anything else. With an […]
