https://killingmykindle.com/2018/11/04/episode-1-41-old-timey-fisticuffs/ Wherein I review: 150. The Lost Plot (Invisible Library #4) by Genevieve Cogman 151. A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine #4) by Ransom Riggs 152. Desperate Measures (Stone Barrington #47) by Stuart Woods 153. The Mauritius Command (Aubrey & Maturin #4) by Patrick O’Brian It’s all on the fours.  Fourth swashbuckler, fourth Miss Peregrine’s Steampunk X-Men, fourth Invisible Library.  It’s all very old school, and enjoyable.  Fourthbook is a big deal, because it’s either revamping or saying, “We’re in this for the long haul, […]
