The purpose of Thrifty Thursday is to read a book which was free (at some point). This is a collection of freebies I have read which have some sort of home renovation in the plot. Chirp freebie on November 30, 2023 (currently $7.99 at Chirp and $7.01 at Audible, and in Kindle Unlimited as of […]
I was very excited to see the start of a new series by Richard Osman. His development of characters is smart and a bit funny. Anyway, whether a good guy or a villain, one can’t help but grow to like the characters. They are people either way. We Solve Murders begins with Amy who is […]

This is a new feature I developed where each month we will look at our favorite – the best – series in a genre or topic. The topic here, by my definition, is a series with characters who are working in home improvement or house flipping. These are the ones which came to mind. […]
I haven’t read this author previously but wanted to read about Iceland plus I enjoy police procedurals. Death at the Sanatorium was interesting and not what I expected. I did read that this is sort of a spinoff from a television show The Darkness so maybe that is why some things seemed odd. It didn’t […]

I wanted to try this author and I saw The Brothers Kenney and jumped into it. It was totally not what I expected. I thought it would have a lawyer and a legal story but it was more of a mystery and character development. Obviously, I did not read the blurb well. Sean, the younger […]

I enjoyed No One Does It Like You even though it wasn’t too realistic. The main characters Rosie and Tom were likeable. They are speaking the first time in 10 years. Tom reached out to her when he thought he might die. Rosie returned his call to see if he would help her when no […]
I was surprised to see this was a different narrator than the first book until I realized the point of view is Harry Steinbeck rather than Van Reed. It’s quite fascinating to have it and I wonder if all the books in the series will alternate this way. They both have secrets and fears on […]
