I might be showing my age here, but I normally mistrust analytical algorithms and AI-type thingys. (I am not a tech person, obviously.) I like to choose books based on personal recommendations and reviews (thanks Books of My Heart!) rather than what the library thinks I should read next. To be fair, it isn’t like […]
The Love Fix is another tale of a dysfunctional immediate family leading to closed off young adults who struggle to accept relationships until they build a found family. Jill Shalvis is my favorite when it comes to heart and humor. Topics which are uncomfortable and tragic are worked through with care and compassion. The characters […]
. Søren Sveistrup is a new-to-me author, so I had no idea what to expect with this story. I ended up having a great time with it. It was interesting to tackle a police procedural set in a completely different country. This story mostly takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and follows Mark Hess, who is […]
I love the Sunrise Cove series which is a newer one. Not that I don’t love the older series because I do. This series is set in a beautiful place and has characters which shine. They have the quirky, realistic foibles one can love. The humor and banter is always enjoyable. Olive is a very […]
The Ruin was the first in the Cormac Reilly series. Cormac is a homicide detective in Ireland and has been for 20 years. He has had real success but has just transferred from to a new location because of his girlfriend, Emma’s job. He’s being shunted off to cold cases in the new unit. Now […]
The Quinn & Costa series is a favorite which I highly anticipate reading. The author has a talent for connecting me to the characters and my emotions. The backdrop to the series is Kara’s developing relationship with Matt and her incredible skills. Kara Quinn is incredibly smart and intuitive. She was undercover with LA and […]
In fall of 2023, I first read this book out of order as a new release for the New Hercule Poirot Mysteries series. I vowed then and there I was going back for the whole series and chose to borrow them as audios from the library. I made good on this series reading binge […]
Kate Quinn’s body of work is filled with amazing portrayals of women and how they triumphed in unlikely circumstances. Her writing style blends human interest and history in a way that makes it so easy to connect with the characters. The Briar Club departs from the World War 2 era subjects I was used, and […]
I have read all the Will Trent series and I’ve collected them all on audio over the past couple years. I even watched the TV show this year. It’s different but I liked it. The world and characters are so well developed. I know and love these characters so much. The narrator’s voices for them […]
I always enjoy Allison Brennan and was excited to start this new Angelhart Investigation series. I wasn’t able to read the prequel before this first book, but the author’s newsletter assured me that would be fine. I will read it if it ever comes up in my library hold. You’ll Never Find Me has the […]
