https://killingmykindle.com/2019/01/10/episode-2-01-tell-me-lies-tell-me-sweet-little-lies/ CANNONBALL 11 HAS BEGUNNETHED. Wherein I review: 1. Ex-Patriots (Ex-Heroes #2) by Peter Clines 2. The Farm by Tom Rob Smith 3. A Delicate Touch (Stone Barrington #48) by Stuart Woods More delicious zombies vs. superheroes where we finally meet up with the military. And they wisely utilize Arkham Asylumishness. A son must decide whether his mother is being gaslit by his father or if her entire tale is a lie. Stuart Woods keeps being all Stuart Woodsy.
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 1-30: 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 […]
