May 16, 2023 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

I recently asked my high school seniors what were some of their favorite book when they were younger. These are 18 year olds now, so mostly born in 2005, and while there were some older classics in the mix like Goodnight Moon and The Very Hungry Caterpillar, most of the answers were books I had never heard of before. So I went to the library and checked some of them out to see what they had enjoyed. While there, I checked out a few other […]

Fact: Dolly Parton is an International Treasure

Run Rose Run by Dolly Parton & James Patterson

December 29, 2022 by thegirlwhogotoverit Leave a Comment

Nobody is disputing that Dolly is a most awesome person, in every possible way.   My mother has a weakness for country music; I am positive I was born knowing the words to Jolene. And this book is for-sure compelling – the suspense-lit version of a catchy song. But… there were issues.  The character development for Ethan felt tacked on for depth late in the process.  It felt awkward; never flowed in the same way as the rest of the book. And the trafficking was a […]

Along Came a Spider by James Patterson

March 22, 2020 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

I’ve never read a James Patterson novel previous to this one and I can really understand why he’s popular. It’s crazy to me, though, how much he made his life and work into an industry. The way he shops out his name for branding and co-writing credits is downright absurd to me. But don’t hate the player and all that. This is the first Alex Cross novel and the lead character is a Washington DC police detective who also was previously a forensic psychologist — […]

Episode 1-46: If Someone Calls You Fat, Eat Them

December 17, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/12/18/episode-1-46-if-someone-calls-you-fat-eat-them/ Wherein I review: 145. Private Princess (Private #14) by James Patterson 146. Bill the Galactic Hero On The Planet of Bottled Brains (Bill the Galactic Hero #3) by Harry Harrison 147. Elevation by Stephen King 148. The Surgeon’s Mate (Aubrey & Maturin #7) by Patrick O’Brian London Private is my least favorite of the private parts.  Bill the Galactic Hero keeps punning horribly like an issue of Cracked before they became actual internet journalists.  Stephen King keeps on busting out Castle Rock novellas, and […]

Episode 1-39: Marvel Doesn’t Care About Black Humor

October 16, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/16/episode-1-39-marvel-doesnt-care-about-black-humor/ Wherein I review: 146. The Labyrinth of Spirits (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books #4) by Carlos Ruiz Zafon 147. Lethal White (Cormoran Strike #4) by Robert Galbraith 148. Ambush (Michael Bennett #11) by James Patterson The Cemetery of Forgotten Books adds more blocks to the every growing library.  JK Rowling always does great relationships, and does procedurals as well as wizarding.  And Ten is Enough the Cop puts up a lackluster murder involving the Canadian Mob vs the Mexican Cartels. Also, I bitch a […]
