…only a fool would reject the comfort of routine for weeks of murder and monsters. Kindle location 2065 This sequel to Maplewood meets and, in some ways, exceeds its predecessor.

Cliche, Mok, or Another Book I Just Couldn’t Finish…

I’m not going to pull any punches on this one: I hated this book.

Interesting and yet not what I expected

September 9, 2015 by sistercoyote 2 Comments

Add me to the ranks of Cannonballers who enthusiastically recommend this book. And the only reason it’s not fully enthusiastic is that Dr. Mütter’s Marvels wasn’t quite what I thought it would be.

Not just Coyote

September 1, 2015 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

So it turns out that I have downloaded/bought about eleventybillion titles for my Kindle and read less than half of them (I don’t feel too guilty about this, because books and also because a lot of them were freebies). Despite that lack of guilt, I’ve decided I need to go through and, well, make my way through all of them. At least in this case it wasn’t a total mistake.

Book Cover: Ghost Ship

No one will ever know

August 6, 2015 by sistercoyote 7 Comments

I have, for whatever reason, a deep fascination with disasters and mysteries at sea. To the point that I’ve even watched several Really Bad™ ocean salvage movies (Ghost Ship [No relation] and Lost Voyage, I’m looking at you). And yes, I also saw Titanic. But that’s not my point. I do not spend a lot of time on the ocean, haven’t been on a boat in years (and haven’t been out of the breakwater on a boat or ship even longer ago than that), and […]

By Your Command: Creative on Command

June 15, 2015 by sistercoyote Leave a Comment

I read a fair amount of so called “self-help” books; some because the subject interests me, some because they’ve been recommended to me, and some even though I know I may roll my eyes through 90% of the book and get something of worth from the other 10%. So this book was kind of a good news/bad news situation for me: the good news was that I found useful information in about half the book. The bad news is that the first half of the […]
