Review: Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore

Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore by Matthew J. Sullivan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

#PopsugarReadingChallenge2019:
Prompt - A book about a hobby: Reading

This was poignant in a way that I really wasn't expecting and I feel. I'm leaving it at feel because I feel more than one emotion. In fact, I feel several. I feel gutted, and hollow, and sad, and hopeful, and peaceful.

This book, to me, was a story about life. How one action, every choice we make or don't, shapes us into who we are. Causes us to have connections and moments that make up an existence. How one action spirals and takes someone from us, brings us together, or sets us on a path we never expected we'd be on.

Moments and connections are life. They are what makes life beautiful and horrible and bearable. and ours. And that's what this book was about.

Review: Dirty Money

This book wrapped up a 4-book story arc, and while it feels like a good place to end, I hope that it doesn't. View all my reviews

Silent in the Grave by Deanna Raybourn My rating: 2 of 5 stars #PopsugarReadingChallenge2019 Prompt - a book recommended by a celebrity you admire: The incomparable Felicia Day (actress, author, all around good egg) rated this 5 stars in her active Goodreads library. ...and I won't hold it against her. Once upon a time, Modern Millie travelled back in time and did a bunch of things that were not possible for women during the Victorian era. Along the way, she met an android disguised as a human that could slice and dice and speak every language. He also had a superpower: to annoy this particular reader to the point of pain. Literal pain, mind you. I rolled my eyes so hard and often that I gave myself a headache. Together, they set out to alternately annoy and bore the shit out of me, as it was also her superpower; and solve a murder that I, myself, solved before 40% of the book had been read. Unfortunately, they survived to annoy and angst me into...
