I am starting with books by Grace Hamilton.  I’m appreciating the survivalist and prepper skills. There are mostly first books in series and they […]

      She’s come home after earning her medical doctor degree and four retired Special Forces vets have retired and taken up their land grant benefit.  Too bad they get dropped off into post-apocalyptic chaos.  Sci-fi and zombies, anyone?  It’s Veronica Scott’s The Sectors world so of course I had to take the plunge.

A Murder Most French by Colleen Cambridge @colleengleason.bsky.social @colleengleason @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @KensingtonBooks @sophiarose1816

  After satiating myself on her Phyllida Bright Mystery series featuring Agatha Christie as a character, I was eager to taste test her newer series, American in Paris featuring the delectable Julia Child as a prominent side character.  Colleen Cambridge does a spectacular job melding historical real life characters and time period settings with her […]
