Bones are Forever by Kathy Reichs

Oh Kathy Reichs, I so used to love your books and your no nonsense forensic pathologist, Temperance Brennan. Set in the winter in Montreal, Edmonton and Yellowknife, I had high hopes for this pairing nicely with my winter trip to Montreal. I was disappointed. Bones are Forever begins in Montreal with Brennan being asked to assist when infant bones are discovered in slum housing. Multiple sets of bones are eventually discovered and Tempe and her off-again love interest, Quebec police detective Andrew Ryan, are off […]

My vacation would quickly descend to a dark and grisly place.

Swamp Bones by Kathy Reichs

This is my first, and probably only Kathy Reichs Temperance “Bones” Brennan Bones book. And I didn’t even realize it going in. I guess I should have since Bones was in the title. And it turns out that Bones is in pretty much all the titles of the books.

It’s summer and it’s hot. I went on a Netflix binge and got through all available episodes of “Bones”. It’s not a bad show, but I never watched the show until this binge because it’s so different from the books. The show doesn’t do the books justice. So once I ran out of episodes I decided to go back to the books. The first time I read them it was out of order, based on what the library had, and what I could borrow from […]

Tory Brennen is good at science (which isn’t surprising since her aunt is Temperence Brennen, renowned forensic anthropologist), but also good at getting into trouble. When she and her friends Hi, Shelton, and Ben find an old dog tag while searching for a wolf-dog family on Loggerhead Island, an island off Charleston, SC that houses a facility for sea turtle research, Tory sets off a chain of events that not only endanger her life and the lives of her friends, but also change their genetic […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.

Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
