https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/27/episode-1-32-heroes-depend-on-which-side-of-history-you-stand/ Wherein I review: 126. The Cuckoo’s Egg by Clifford Stoll 127. Manhunt: The 12-Day Chase for Lincoln’s Killer by James Swanson A little historicalisciousness. Cliff Stoll was one of the first people to track down international hackers. TOPICAL. And we learn that his name was Mudd because he was a f–king dirty ass Confederate who was all down with kidnapping Lincoln.

Episode 1-30: The Kids Aren’t Alright
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/13/episode-1-30-the-kids-arent-alright/ Wherein I review: 116. Marlena by Julie Buntin 117. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty 118. The Money Shot (Teddy Fay #2) by Stuart Woods Kids are the f–king worst! Marlena reads like an AA confessional, part ghost story, that really has no third act. Big Little Lies gave me the chance to read a novel that has been turned into a television show where I know one of the actors. Weird, but fun, especially since the original is Australian, so now I’m picturing […]
Episode 1-29: What the F–k Did I Just Read?
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/08/08/episode-1-29-what-the-fuck-did-i-just-read/ Wherein I review: 111. A Highly Unlikely Scenario, or a Neetsa Pizza Employee’s Guide to Saving the World by Rachel Cantor 112. Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan 113. The Fold by Peter Clines 114. High-Rise by J.G. Ballard 115. Turbulence (Stone Barrington #46) by Stuart Woods Sometimes your little brain needs to get fried. This was a combo platter of what the f–kery. I enjoyed Robin Sloan’s wonderous cult of personality, and Peter Clines’ Lost-esque pseudo-sequel to 14. Didn’t so much love […]
Episode 1-28: Time Keeps On Slipping, Slipping, Slipping
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/07/30/episode-1-28-time-keeps-on-slipping-slipping-slipping/ Wherein I review: 108. The October List by Jeffery Deaver 109. The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai 110. Invitation to a Bonfire by Adrienne Celt A mystery that starts with the last chapter and works its way backwards. One book that jumps between 1985 and 2015 between Chicago and Paris while straddling the AIDS epidemic. One book told through journal entries and letters from an author while reimagining the Nabokov love triangle. I loved them all in their own little ways, but I loved […]
Episode 1-27: It Takes Two to Make a Thing Go Right
https://killingmykindle.com/2018/07/26/episode-1-27-it-takes-two-to-make-a-thing-go-right/ SECOND CANNONBALL!! Wherein I review: 104. Missing You by Harlan Coben 105. The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa 106. The Infinite Future by Tim Wirkus 107. We Are Anonymous by Parmy Olson Mswas was giving me the props early, but I finally crossed that second cannonball. We’re halfway there, halfway there, halfway there. Read my favorite Harlan Coben premise with my least favorite character leading the way. Finally read something sweet and short, without bloodshed. I read a book within a book […]
