So this is a newer, more inclusive, unabridged version of The Stand. There are some extra details that weren’t in the original book. Having never read the original book, I will not know the difference. The audiobook (which I borrowed from my library and downloaded immediately!) is forty-seven hours. I’m determined to finish it in less than forty-seven days! I’m going to split up my review into a bunch of parts, because with a book this long, I don’t want stuff to get missed. OVERALL […]
I’m not sure about this series
OK, so according to the description on Amazon, it’s been nearly two years since Alice went down the rabbit hole and met the Biter queen (See my CBR8 review #48).

I’ve got my last 2 books picked out. They’ll be #51 and #52 for my first ever full Cannonball. I made it halfway last year, and unless I’m attacked by an acid shooting squid and I go blind in the next two weeks, I’ll hit my first full Cannonball. I’m really excited, because it feels like a cool accomplishment. Anyway, here are my last two books, lines up on my counter, waiting to be conquered: I’m finishing with The BFG, because my 6 year old […]
