I am a fan of all Agatha Christie stories and I thought how wonderful to have all the short stories of Hercule Poirot in one collection. This is a long audiobook though, 35 hours long. I enjoyed them all. Some I remembered and others I think were new to me. There are many separate stories […]
I loved the Crown of Shards trilogy. As with any urban fantasy or even other types of series, I prefer to read in order and have the full world building and character backgrounds. The Gargoyle Queen is a continuation, but a full 16 years later. Gemma Ripley is now grown. However, Gemma still has fears […]
I read the first book, Pride, Prejudice and Other Flavors for the diversity Read-athon for COYER. I was also thrilled because I met the author at three events and she was wonderful. I looked forward to reading her works. I really enjoyed the first book and went on with the next book Recipe for Persuasion. […]
I’ve spent the last month focusing on WW2 fiction and drama in honor of D-day on June 6th. I’ve shed a lot of tears, stared vacantly at the wall at the end of a particularly brutal story, and sighed with satisfaction at an HEA I had prepared myself not to get. But one theme runs […]
The books in the Wildstone series don’t seem to have much connection as far as characters or even locations, so you don’t really have to read them in order. There is a romance or two in each, with much more of a life fiction feel. Emma had a horrible accident, was in a coma and […]
When I pick up a book that takes place during World War 2, I am never 100% sure how many tears I’m going to shed. I often marvel how any story that takes place during a period in history marked by such devastating loss and immeasurable hardship can end up lifting my spirts. Goodnight From […]
I was excited to try this author for the first time last year with The Third to Die which was the beginning of the new Quinn & Costa series. I loved it and of course continued. Kara Quinn is not able to go back to LAPD because her cover was blown and now the bad […]
Creepy, seriously creepy. Every Vow You Break had me on the edge from start to finish. Abby wasn’t easy to like initially, since she had a one night stand at her bachelorette party. I can’t imagine being that disconnected right before you marry someone. It isn’t technically cheating but it was followed up by lying. […]
I have really enjoyed the Brown Sisters series. There are so many reasons. The setting in England is terrific. I prefer the audio to listen to those voices. The diversity and aspects of autism are layered into the story. The characters are charmingly quirky. Each sister’s story is amazing but could be read as a […]
The books in the Wildstone series don’t seem to have much connection as far as characters or even locations, so you don’t really have to read them in order. There is a romance or two in each, with much more of a life fiction feel. Maze is a classic Shalvis girl, full of insecurity and […]
