Episode 1-41: Old Timey Fisticuffs
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, […]
Episode 1-40: Surprise! I Only Finished One Book This Week
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/26/episode-1-40-surprise-i-only-finished-one-book-this-week/ Wherein I review: 149. H.M.S. Surprise (Aubrey & Maturin #3) by Patrick O’Brian There’s a reason these are the swashbuckling standards. I keep on sailing through, but wasn’t swift enough to knock out the last few books. And I’m still dangling on the precipice of 700 books on the Kindle. Waily, waily, waily.
Episode 1-38: I Punched Satan!
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/10/10/episode-1-38-i-punched-satan/ Wherein I review: 144. The Fall of the House of Cabal (Johannes Cabal #5) by Jonathan L. Howard 145. Post Captain (Aubrey & Maturin #2) by Patrick O’Brian I bid adieu (temporarily, dark forces willing) to my favorite necromancer and I continue the swashbuckling seafaring adventures of Captain Jack and his doctor pals. And I continue to bust through two other wonderful but long books.

In the Navy…
Reverse of the Medal is the 11th book in Patrick O’Brian’s Aubrey & Maturin series, and having got this far it’s safe to say it’s one I’ve enjoyed. In fact, that would be rather understating it – at this point I have lost any objectivity I may have once had, and am a fully-fledged fangirl (especially when it comes to Maturin). Reverse of the Medal hasn’t knocked that status at all, and in fact gave me a little more than I’d have expected to stress […]
