An amazon freebie you say? Don’t mind if I do…That was the only motivation I had in reading Killing Ruby Rose by Jessie Humphries. As a Prime member, it was available for free download, the cover was attention grabbing and the description seemed interesting. Nuf said? To finish reading my review, head over to my blog!
Leaps In the Dust
One day. 500 pages and it all happens in one long day. There are two short chapters covering the final weeks at the very end of Patricia Cornwell’s Dust, but almost the entire book is one day. Kay Scarpetta wakes early one morning shortly before Christmas to her pager calling her to a murder scene. The picture of the victim is oddly reminiscent of three murders her husband is currently out of town investigating. They work for different organizations though and can’t really share info (nevermind […]
#ReadWomen1964
For the 2014 Cannonball Read, 50 of my 52 reviews will be of books written by women. I am doing this as part of the #ReadWomen2014 campaign and as a way to mark my upcoming 50th birthday. Among the books to be reviewed, I have decided to include a book written by a woman in the year I was born (1964), as well as for each subsequent 10 year anniversary of my birth. First up: 1964. I came upon this novel while searching for something […]
Like Cloud Atlas, only better
Hoo boy. I said 2014 would be my Year of Big Books and this is most definitely a Big Book in all senses of the word.

And it’s not actually published until September 2nd 2014, so the fact that I have been able to read an advance copy is frankly HUGE. The proof […]
Ticking like a Time Bomb
A return to Crazy: Gone Crazy by Shannon Hill If you like cats and mysteries, or even only tolerate cats but like mysteries and small-town social dynamics, this one’s for you. Full review at Radical Daffodils.
I like driving in my car
Ah, Stephen King. He’s been my number one go-to author since I was in my early teens and read It and The Tommyknockers. I pretty much never looked back from that point on and while not every book he publishes is a slam dunk (Dreamcatcher is one of the most jawdroppingly terrible things, and I never even bothered to finish Lisey’s Story I was so bored and annoyed by it), when you’re as prolific as King is, that’s no real surprise. But I’d still much rather read an off target Stephen King […]
