Episode 1-43: You Are Standing At A Crossroads In The Forest

November 22, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

https://killingmykindle.com/2018/11/22/episode-1-43-you-are-standing-at-a-crossroads-in-the-forest/ Wherein I review: 159. Wolf in White Van by John Darnielle 160. Past Tense (Jack Reacher #23) by Lee Child The Mountain Goats and Text-Based RPGs.  What the hell is there not to like?  And choosing your own adventure has become the modus operandi of the Jack Reacher series, and I’m still all in. Also, I’ve fallen hopeless behind in my damn reviews.  Tis the season!

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

October 25, 2018 by prisco Leave a Comment

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.
