Another year, another attempt to complete a Cannonball goal, which I have dropped down to the quarter cannonball. My reading is not the problem here. It’s my reviewing that sucks balls. Also, my terrible, terrible, awful, beautiful Destiel fanfiction habit. I read like three books for the latter half of last year because of the sheer volume of fanfiction I read, it’s not even funny. Maybe ten books. Certainly no more than ten. Maybe fifteen. But whatever! This year I shall intersperse my crack habit […]
Looking for Love, Looking for Answers, Looking for Peace
I think the second book I read last year for my very first CBR was Big Little Lies and with that, I fell in love with Liane Moriarty…for the most part (I still have two books to read of hers). I loved both Big Little Lies and What Alice Forgot so much. I liked Her Husband’s Secret but didn’t love it because I didn’t really connect with the characters and the “secret” was apparent from the beginning (in my opinion). I think what Moriarty does […]
Finally, fulfilling fanfic fantasy for fans
Katie: As usual, Patty is dragging me kicking and screaming into a read of something I find questionable. In this case, it’s Finding Fraser by KC Dyer, which is an homage of sorts based on the incomparable James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser from Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander saga. I didn’t see how this could possibly be a good idea. Patty: How could having a PERFECT opportunity to use JAMMF images be a bad idea? Katie: Our heroine read Outlander while in high school and fell in love […]
Can Monsters Still Stalk in the Light?? Uh, YES.
I did it! Thanks to a double ear infection, a sinus infection AND strep I was able to read this six book series in seven days. It was a bumpy ride. All the books were good, but they were all full of suffering, pain, death, murder, suicide, (a little bit of love) and not a whole lot of hope. But I made it through them all and I’m glad that I did because this was a pretty solid series. Book seven, Light, has a couple […]
Darkness Falls
The fifth book in the Gone series by Michael Grant is Fear. Fear picks up about four months after the previous book so now the kids have been stuck in the FAYZ (a giant opaque bubble) for a year, surviving the best that they can with limited resources, all kinds of weird mutated animals, oh and an evil entity that needs a body in the hopes that it can be “born” and wreck havoc on the world outside of the FAYZ. So yeah, the kids […]
Long Time Listener, First Time Reader
As a loyal listener of “This American Life,” I’ve been listening to stories from David Sedaris for ages. I rarely find him shocking (do people find him shocking?), but actually, hilarious and delightful. I would go so far as to say that I find him to be a comfort, and a familiar. This is the first of his books that I’ve actually listened to with my eyes. His voice is immediate and steadily present for me, in the best possible way. A series of stories […]
