[Review]—Jack Reacher is Back in "No Plan B"

[Review]—Jack Reacher is Back in "No Plan B"

Who knew there were 27 books in the Jack Reacher series? I suppose everyone else in the world but me. I read Killing Floor, the first Jack Reacher book, earlier this year, a few weeks before the Amazon Prime series' adaptation premiered. Midway through, I became completely engrossed. Over the next few months, I acquired the entire series, thanks to secondhand bookstores and thrift shops, with all good intentions of reading them, eventually. I did find time to read another Jack Reacher book, the 27th, and most recent, No Plan B, co-written by Lee and Andrew Child.

[Blu-ray Review]—"A Discovery of Witches: The Complete Trilogy"

[Blu-ray Review]—"A Discovery of Witches: The Complete Trilogy"


I have far too many unread Kindle eBooks that I'd like to read one day, such as the historical-fantasy All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. Technically, it's not a trilogy because of "Time's Convert," the fourth novel that acts as both a prequel and a sequel. I tend to see the adaptations before reading the book; this was the case with the All Souls Trilogy since I had seen A Discovery of Witches on Sundance/AMC when it first aired. For the most part, I liked the series; though, since I haven't read the books, I can't give you my two cents on whether it's a good or bad adaptation.

The Caffeinated Book Reviewer's Kimberly hosts a weekly meme called "The Sunday Post"! 


Weekly Tidbits


  • Even though I had my flu vaccination last month, I somehow contracted a bug that left me sick for the remainder of the week. On Monday, I felt run down, but at the time, I attributed it to the weather and my allergies. Then, on Tuesday night, I started experiencing flu-like symptoms, followed by a high temperature that persisted until early Wednesday morning. Since then, I've been feeling better, but as of Friday night, when I wrote this post, I've developed a nasty cough.

[Review]—"The Gwendy Trilogy" by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar

[Review]—"The Gwendy Trilogy" by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar

The Gwendy Trilogy paperback box set, authored by Stephen King and Richard Chizmar, is now available from Gallery Books, just in time for the holidays. The novellas in the collection are Gwendy's Button Box (published in 2017), Gwendy's Magic Feather (published in 2019), and Gwendy's Final Task (published in 2022). 

Since the early 1990s, I've been a fan of Stephen King, and although I was aware when Cemetery Dance Publication first published Gwendy's Button Box, I didn't show much interest in reading it at the time. What was the holdup, then? Somewhere in the back of my mind, I thought the novella would be published later with other Stephen King short tales in a "collection" edition, but that never turned out to be the case. In 2019, Richard Chizmar's solely written novella, Gwendy's Magic Feather, was published. Aside from putting it on my Amazon wishlist, I had little desire to read it. Then, this year saw the release of Gwendy's Final Task, and I must have been living under a rock since I wasn't aware of it until I came across it at a Walmart during the summer. I picked up the book, glanced at it, put it back on the shelf, and promised myself I would get it next time. Spoiler Alert: All copies were gone by my next return. Note to Self: If you see a book you want, purchase it right then and there—or you'll regret it later.
