Cover Her Face by P.D. James My rating: 4 of 5 stars After my brain injury, PD James became a marker for me in my reading progress. Pre-injury I read every one of her books and enjoyed them tremendously for their good writing and good stories. After my injury though, with my reading ability fried, [...]
Killing Floor by Lee Child My rating: 2 of 5 stars For a first novel, it was okay. But the plethora of cliches got to be a bit much, and right at the end, in the very last chapter, I couldn’t continue anymore. So I set it aside for awhile, and when I got back [...]
Many blogs and magazines write about how writers write. Newbie writers lap these articles up as if they’re gospel and try to emulate. I know, I’ve been there. But the more I see how others write and how my own writing style is evolving, the more I realise there’s probably as many ways of writing [...]
There’s a robin’s nest near my kitchen window, hidden but for the activity around it. Robins zip into my view and land on a tasty patch of soil nearby, pecking at dead strands of grass, running along, pecking at another attractive set of nest-looking threads, running along until beaks drip many threads. Then they launch [...]
The Lincoln Lawyer: A Novel by Michael Connelly My rating: 4 of 5 stars Somehow I rated this but didn’t review it! This book was recommended to me by a Michael Connelly fan, and I wasn’t disappointed. It’s an interesting concept about a sleazy lawyer who works out of his Lincoln car (hence the title) [...]
Recovery from brain injury is a long haul. It’s like being a trucker driving an over-the-limit 40 m triple road train loaded up with gold-containing ore, from the far eastern tip of Newfoundland to the far western edge of Kluane National Park and Reserve in the Yukon, who travels smoothly and happily in the early [...]
Persuader by Lee Child My rating: 4 of 5 stars I borrowed this ebook from the library because I’d read Lee Child’s short story [b:The Second Son|12215815|The Second Son |Lee Child|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1328306888s/12215815.jpg|17156027], really enjoyed it, wanted to try out a full-length book of Child’s, and Reacher #7 was the only one available to borrow. I put [...]
How to Be a Sister: A Love Story with a Twist of Autism by Eileen Garvin My rating: 3 of 5 stars It’s true what the author says: there aren’t a whole heck of a lot of books, or even magazine or newspaper writings, about being a sibling to a person with autism or any [...]
Never Sleep With a Suspect on Gabriola Island: An Islands Investigations International Mystery by Sandy Frances Duncan My rating: 2 of 5 stars I was all set to like this one, really like it. Good plot, neat idea having two people working together to solve a crime, set in BC — and it’s Canadian! It [...]
