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 are all audio books. Chirp freebie on April 25, 2025 (currently $1.99 at Chirp as of writing this post) Kindle freebie October 14, 2023. The ebook is free at […]
Her First Mistake starts a new Noelle Marshall series in the same world as at least two other series. She works with Evan Bolton from the Columbia River series, which is a mix of stories utilizing characters from some of the author’s other series or supporting characters. She was in a book as a side […]
An anonymous piece of mail containing a picture of a woman dressed in the jewels recovered from the famous Troy archeological dig herald a new Christmas time adventure for Vicky Bliss. Elizabeth Peters continues the fun mystery series with the wise-cracking, gorgeous, but very clever Art Historian, her eccentric German boss, and a gentleman thief […]
Nora Roberts and January LaVoy are a favorite combination of excellent work. Romantic suspense is a favorite genre with the multiple emotional pulls from the romance and the suspense and thrill of the mystery. Hidden Nature has many other great themes with families, home renovation work, good cooking, gardening, natural resource law enforcement and dogs. […]
I’ve been collecting some of the Nora Roberts audio books which are not at the library. I knew this was the one I most wanted to hear. Since they are almost all standalone, they should be easier to fit into the reading schedule. The Search is about a woman who trains K9 dogs for search […]
It has been a wild ride with much murder and mayhem, but Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Trilogy has come to a satisfying conclusion with the third and final installment, Scythe and Sparrow.

It is just as dark, just as swoony, and I loved it just as much. The trigger warning was, again, hilarious, and should definitely be heeded, because, as […]
I love the Romantic Suspense series. I’ve read them all. I started the series with the first Cincinnati book, with Faith and Deacon. It was actually #16 overall. Then I went back and read the previous 15 books. I would not jump into this in the middle of a series. One could start at the […]
I’ve not yet developed the ability to self-regulate on social media. How can I be expected to exercise self restraint when the Dodo has so many adorable animal stories or the renovation on my high school friend’s kitchen is nearly done! My solution is to normally avoid social media and all of its temptations and […]
I love the In Death series. I am always so happy to have a new book in this series. The characters have become beloved to me, and their circle of friends with comfortable connections. The smart way the police work the cases and try to get a vision of what happened and what makes sense […]
