I Read a Lot of Books
I read a lot of books. Sometimes I review them.
Margaret, The Faithful by Katheryn Kimbrough
Another bad book brought to you by the Saga of the Phenwick Women. I honestly am glad I only have four of these books in total in this series and this is number three so we are ALMOST finished I promise! Read More »
Jane, the Courageous by Katheryn Kimbrough
You’ll have to read my review of Augusta, the First to get the back story on this series of books and why they are fundamentally terrible, but let me just tell you why THIS particular book is terrible. Read More »
Augusta, The First by Katheryn Kimbrough
This book was SOOOOOO bad. Ugh. Really. It was awful. My baby brother (who turns 32 this year!) got this for my birthday last last year. Correction, he got the first four books in the series (more about this series later) at a used book store for a dollar. He had the gaul to leave the price tag and when I called him on it he said he just wanted to show me what our friendship was worth. Thanks, Jason. In retaliation, I didn’t get him anything for his birthday, so there is that. Read More »
The Saga of Hugh Glass: Pirate, Pawnee, and Mountain Man by John Meyers Meyers
How can a book be both fiction and non fiction you ask? Well, clearly, it doesn’t work, but I will get into that later. Let me just say… this was one of the worst books I have read in my life. Period. There were times when I debated finishing it at all. Ugh, it was awful. Do yourself a favor and never read it. Read More »
The Fault of the Apple by Frederic Wakeman
I am not sure where or how this book came into my possession. I seem to remember a yard sale somewhere. My copy is a hardback without a dust jacket, and the beautiful binding makes it look very intriguing. Yet another case of not judging a book by its cover, because this book hit the trifecta of awful.

The Night Listener by Armistead Maupin
It has been a while since I read something so awful that I debated whether I should finish it or not. Congrats Night Listener, I finished you, but don’t feel better for it. Read More »
I Hate Your Guts by Jim Norton
This book was absolutely awful. Absolutely. Awful. The highlight of this book was when I used it to kill a wasp this very morning. In short, not worth the time I spent reading it, and certainly not worth any more time reviewing it.
Love Goes to Buildings On Fire: Five Years in New York That Changed Music Forever by Will Hermes
In the preface Hermes writes that this is, “In a sense, an inspirational book.” And I am still wanting to know, in what sense? When a book claims it will inspire, I’d better be inspired, and it didn’t, and I wasn’t, and for this and other reasons, this book was one big fail. Read More »
On the Ridge Between Life and Death: A Climbing Life Reexamined by David Roberts
A book that didn’t need to be written. Read More »
