2017: #7 – Big Little Lies (Liane Moriarty)

November 2, 2017October 27, 2017 1 Comment

I completely missed the boat on this book the first time around. It was one of those that flitted around the periphery of my reading world, but nothing drew me to pick it up and give it a try. And then I watched the first episode of the HBO show. I don’t get HBO, so it was going to be a long wait before I

2006: #83 – The Eighth Commandment (Lawrence Sanders)

October 6, 2006July 29, 2016

Book #83 was The Eighth Commandment, by Lawrence Sanders. This book was not at all what I expected. I’ve never read Lawrence Sanders, and based on the little bit that was on the back of the book I was expecting a more serious whodunit. What I got instead was funny and lighthearted and, most surprising, featured an interesting and endearing female lead character. I hope

December 5, 2005January 15, 2021

Book #73 was Cause of Death, the 7th book in Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta series. I grabbed this book as a back-up when we went north for Thanksgiving, thinking it was the first in the series. Oops, I didn’t realize I had 6 others on the shelf behind it! Not that it really matters, since I’ve read the later books. This was a pretty good

2021: #81 – Spoiler Alert (Olivia Dade)

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
