Review: All That Remains by Patricia Cornwell

Posted on March 15, 2017 by Cat

I’d criticised Postmortem and Body of Evidence for the actual crime solving where all the things they did wouldn’t really amount to catching the murderer and All that Remains is no different though, strangely, even more infuriating. Full spoilers for … Continue reading →

Review: Body of Evidence by Patricia Cornwell

Posted on February 14, 2017 by Cat

Body of Evidence is the second book of Patricia Cornwell’s Kay Scarpetta series which I’m currently revisiting in order to bring myself up to speed to read the books she’s released over the last ten years. Review of Postmortem, book … Continue reading →

Review: An Accidental Murder by J. New

Posted on February 12, 2017 by Cat

I didn’t realise this was a short book [though this is entirely my fault as clearly marked in the description that I didn’t fully read as I like to not have everything spoiled] and was surprised how quickly it moved … Continue reading →

Review: The Stalker by Sally Spencer/Alan Rustage

Posted on February 8, 2017 by Cat

I fell for it: I discounted the perpetrator based on two comments in the book and I am really annoyed with myself! Some spoilers follow, but not the main reveals. This was a really good book. I like investigative books … Continue reading →

Review: Postmortem by Patricia Cornwell

Posted on February 6, 2017 by Cat

I’d first read and loved the Kay Scarpetta series as a teenager, devouring the books as they came out all the way up until around 2005 when life happened and I generally stopped reading. In order to pick it back … Continue reading →

Review: Star Wars – Episode II: Attack of the Clones audiobook

Posted on January 11, 2017 by Cat

Just like the Star Wars – Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the book is done well with the audio effects and music and the voices and general content. Battles are described, but they’re not described in every single detail and … Continue reading →

Review: Any Means Necessary (Luke Stone #1) by Jack Mars

Posted on January 8, 2017 by Cat

Barely starting into the second week of the year seems too early to declare something as a ‘book of the year’, but I have really enjoyed this book. Free on Kindle UK, I didn’t think to expect too much despite … Continue reading →

Review: The Risk by S.T.Abby

Posted on January 8, 2017 by Cat

I have only just realised – thanks to another review on Goodreads – that this author’s pseudonym [unless it’s the real name which would also be awesome] reads Stabby! Brilliant! The description and title don’t sound great, but it was … Continue reading →

Review: The Girl on the Train

Posted on December 31, 2016 by Cat

I actually finished this book over two months ago, but felt I had to think it over before I could review it and then suddenly it’s two months later and I haven’t done so.. Full spoilers follow. I didn’t know … Continue reading →

Review: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic comics

Posted on December 16, 2016 by Cat

I don’t think I’d ever read a comic except a few books of Disney’s Das Lustige Taschenbuch when I was young. I’d never ruled it out, but it’s kind of hard to know where to start when you’ve never really … Continue reading →

Review: Star Wars The Phantom Menace audiobook

Posted on December 6, 2016 by Cat

I was surprised when I first listened to it that not only it contains sound effects and music but also added bits that aren’t in the films. As such the motivations of some of the characters are flashed out a … Continue reading →

Review: A Time to Kill by John Grisham

Posted on December 3, 2016 by Cat

I first read this book in my teenage years. I must have been around 14 and had picked it up after racing through The Firm and The Pelican Brief. I remember loving all of them at the time. This year … Continue reading →

Review: The Martian audiobook

Posted on December 2, 2016 by Cat

Earlier this year I watched ‘The Martian’. Watched The Martian: synopsis didn't grab me, but film was actually really good and funny. I can fully understand the awards it's won! — Cat Fu (@carocat) April 16, 2016 @noirem then suggested … Continue reading →

Review: Star Wars The Force Awakens audiobook

Posted on December 1, 2016 by Cat

The other day I came across a couple of articles I’d saved a long time ago to read later. 27 ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ questions answered by the novel and 45 ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’ plot details explained … Continue reading →

Karin Slaughter – Grant County Crime Series

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Cat

Over the past week I have read the Grant County thriller series by Karin Slaughter. This post is full of major story spoilers. Initially this series seemed just like any other crime series with a seemingly familar cast of people … Continue reading →

Star Wars: The Old Republic – Revan

Posted on September 9, 2016 by Cat

Thanks to the fantastic ‘Knights of the Old Republic’ [KotOR] game [fun fact: it’s the main reason I got into and love gaming], my favourite era of Star Wars is the Old Republic. Yes, the seven films are great, but … Continue reading →

2012 in review

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Cat

2012 was a curious year for me with a lot happening. After glorious #funemployment lasting six months I got a new job that I am still enjoying ten months later. Whilst it is the best job I have had my … Continue reading →

Books I’ve read in 2012

Posted on December 30, 2012 by Cat

The lovely Joe bought me a Kindle and I’d rediscovered my love for reading. I don’t whether it is because it’s so easy to pick up a book for just a few minutes at a time or perhaps the instant gratification … Continue reading →
