The Deal of a Lifetime by Fredrik Backman
Let me first say I ADORE everything I’ve read by Fredrick Backman. Everything. Even the ones like Britt-Marie Was Here which wasn’t my favorite of his, didn’t make me ugly-cry like A Man Called Ove or And Every Morning The Way … Continue reading

Doctor Who: The King’s Dragon by Una McCormack
I read this as my “based on a TV show” book for the challenge. I’d read several other Doctor Who novelizations and they’ve been pretty good. This one doesn’t disappoint if you accept it for what it is: a light … Continue reading

Oh man. There’s so much here that I COULD complain about. I could complain that this book didn’t really advance any storylines at all. Nothing life-altering happens, no big mysteries are solved, they basically spent the whole book thinking that … Continue reading
An Echo in the Bone (Outlander #7) – Diana Gabaldon
I am not cool with this book. I could maybe learn to be OK with leaving the Claire and Jamie chapters to see Bree and Roger in the 80s and living at Lallybroch once in a while, but…I do NOT … Continue reading

A Breath of Snow and Ashes (Outlander #6) – Diana Gabaldon
***Spoilers all over the place up in here!*** Well, things definitely happen in this book, evenm though most of it felt like long, unedited, random filler at the time. Fergus is finally around more than the past few books but … Continue reading
The Fiery Cross (Outlander #5) – Diana Gabaldon
Ugh. I just…I don’t know what to say about these books anymore. It’s so difficult to review these since they’re SO FREAKING HUGE and they don’t necessarily have a theme. So much stuff happens that things that happened in the … Continue reading

Voyager (Outlander #3) – Diana Gabaldon
So at the end of the last book, Dragonfly in Amber, Claire realizes that Jamie didn’t die after Colloden and so he could still be alive in the past, 20 years later. Well, I don’t really think I’m giving too … Continue reading

Dragonfly in Amber (Outlander #2) – Diana Gabaldon
So this is an enormous series of books, and it’s got all kinds of novellas and short stories, so the author actually has a chronology on her website, which is really helpful. And for Dragonfly in Amber, she writes: “It … Continue reading
