This is the end… cbr10bingo I used the first book in this series as my “and so it begins”, and now I’m using this third and final book as my “this is the end” for CBR10bingo! Of course I read this series in the wrong order (two, one, three), but that’s just the usual for me! So we get back to Joe Cantrell in this book, and he’s got another new job. He’s sheriff of a small town in Texas, and he’s got a new […]
Spoiler: white people are unspeakably awful to Native Americans (Not a spoiler)
Once again, my favorite podcast Literary Disco delivers with an outstanding book recommendation. I hadn’t heard of this book, but thankfully the wait for it was long at my local library. I say thankfully because I am glad that people are becoming familiar with this gruesome and awesome (in the awe-stricken sense of the word) true story that should mar our nations history, if the people of our nation knew anything about it. And if, um, it wasn’t already super thoroughly marred. The Osage Nation, […]
Who’s the stranger in this house?
This book was a fast read for me. I’m not saying that because I think it was good, it just kept the momentum going. I was just talking to my friend who I borrowed it from, and I said that the writing was a little simplistic. It seemed like the writing wasn’t pretty enough or something? Like: “Tom was upset. He got in his car and drove away.” I don’t know, it could’ve used a little more emotion maybe. “Tom angrily slammed his car door […]
It’s the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine
So I really liked this book. I read a series either earlier this year or last year by Joe Hart, and it was very different from this book. I guess that series was still science fiction-y, like this one, but it still felt very different. We begin this book by meeting Gillian, as she’s basically getting into a car accident with her husband. We learn that he has this terrible brain disease called Losian’s, that’s similar to Alzheimer’s, but affects all ages. He’s starting to […]
Two more Joe Dillard books!
I’m writing these two reviews together, because I read the books so quickly and so close to one another! Book 6: So I got distracted by other books for a little while, but I’m back on the Joe Dillard kick! Like I’ve said before, I like the characters. I like his family, and I like the way he practices law. He tried to do the right thing for good people. In this book, he hires a new associate named Charlie. She’s had a rough past, […]
Killer Queen
I honest to the heavens thought I’d reviewed this one. The short version is: True crime fans/Murderinos will probably enjoy this one. I’m not sure anyone else will; the subject matter is pretty grim and the person in question warped like HH Holmes. Lizzie Borden may have killed her father and stepmother with an axe, but Belle Gunness killed a hell of a lot more, including her own children.
