Career of Evil

Career of Evil

Review Career of Evil is the third book in the Cormoran Strike series and unfortunately, it will probably be my last.  I enjoyed the book’s two predecessors however, this installment was long-winded with a backstory that felt unnecessary or had already been touched on in a previous novel. At times Career of Evil felt more […]

What the Dead Know

What the Dead Know

Bossypants by Tina Fey

Bossypants by Tina Fey

Mini-Review Readers may come for the Sarah Palin impression but they’ll stay for the clever, witty, and insightful memoir that is Bossypants. Tina Fey’s narration enhanced the reading experience and, in my opinion, is the only way to read Bossypants. Also, despite being written 13 years ago Tina Fey’s comments on politics and women being […]
