New Book Report: The Pillars of the Earth

I don’t know about you, but I loved the miniseries “The Pillars of the Earth”. 

In fact, I loved it so much that I picked up the 975 book by Ken Follett that it was based on. 

I loved it as much, if not more, than the miniseries (which I ordered from Amazon earlier this week and have been waiting IMPATIENTLY for it to arrive). 

Anyway, above is the link for my review of the book. Check it out if you feel so inclined!

Completely Useless Book Reports: Book vs Movie: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

It has venn diagrams!

Check it out! 

New Book Report! The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Another day, another book report!

Are these really extraordinary gentlemen? Are or they merely extra ordinary? Are they even gentlemen? READ ON TO FIND OUT!

Another Book Report! Wowza!

Check out my review of The Hot Rock by Donald Westlake. It’s fun little heist story! Kind of like “Ocean’s Eleven” but with six less guys and five more capers! 

New Book Report! Anna Karenina

So it only took me, like, 14 months, but I FINALLY finished reading Anna Karenina!


Check out the link for my review!

New Book Report: The Last Werewolf

After a weekend of delays, here’s the latest addition to my ever growing collection of nonsense book reports! Check it out if you want! Or don’t! Whatever makes you happy!

New Book Report! 50 Shades of Grey

On tonight’s episode of “The Key Lime provides her unsolicited opinions on books”, I review the immensely popular 50 Shades of Grey.  

Because, lord knows there hasn’t been enough snark on that book. 

Check it out!

New Book Report!

In today’s episode of “less than insightful reviews of books done for my own amusement”, we examine Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel I Am Legend.

It was a nice change of pace to read a vampire story that doesn’t feature Sookie Stackhouse! 

New Book Report!

I finally finished a book! I wrote about it on Completely Useless Book Reports! The book is called Charlatan and is by Pope Brock! It’s about a quack doctor who restored youth and vitality by transplanting goat gonads into humans! And it’s a true story! Weird!
