cbr10bingo… Backlog BINGO #2 I got this on my Kindle on March 20, 2013. That’s over five years ago. I think it’s the first Kindle book I ever bought? I don’t know why it took me so long to read it. I guess I heard some stuff about how Temple Grandin was involved in helping to create humane slaughter practices, and I didn’t want to read about animal slaughter, even if it was humane.

That’s really what drew me in, Michelle partially wrote this book, then passed away, then her husband and another author finished it, it was released, and then through a totally different process, […]
Somebody wanted to kill the whole LAPD bomb squad
cbr10bingo… Brain Candy Ok so this book is about a bomb maker who’s planting bombs throughout Los Angeles in the hopes of killing bomb squad technicians. How is this brain candy you ask? Well, to me building a bomb, and/or diffusing a bomb is escapism. I will never do either in my life, and hopefully never even see one, so it doesn’t get more escapy than that! I read the audiobook version of this book. At first, I almost laughed out loud at the guy’s […]
