Eight Perfect Murders was not exactly what I expected. But that’s usually a good thing. The main character ran a book shop in Boston. I enjoyed the bookish things and the different authors and books discussed. The book shop owner, before he was an owner, and was an employee, wrote his first post for the […]
This is the second book in Justina Ireland’s Dread Nation series. This series is an alternative history of the Civil War. The war ends because the dead rise and both sides decide to work somewhat towards survival instead of against each other. The first book follows Jane McKeene as she is taken from her home […]
I have been wanting to read this author for awhile, so when this new Quinn & Costa series started it was a perfect opportunity. The mystery / thriller genre with a touch of romance is my jam right now too. The Third to Die has the incredibly smart and capable, Kara Quinn, on leave from […]
Every book in this Wildstone series, has some seriously funny parts (which I always love) and some honestly real, personal issues for the characters to handle. There doesn’t seem to be a strong connection between the books other than the town. (This means you don’t really have to read the series in order) Almost Just […]
I’ve enjoyed every book in the Duncan Kincaid & Gemma James series. I’ve only recently starting listening to them on audio and that is such a pleasure. I love mysteries set in England. Even though there are now 18 books, I do believe it is important to read them all and in order. There is […]
I LOVED Polaris Rising! So I was ready for the next book in the Consortium Rebellion trilogy, Aurora Blazing. Ada’s sister, Bianca is the main character and we get her point of view. We were introduced to her already in the previous book as she is very close to Ada. While Ada is a skilled […]
I read all the series by JA Jance and they are such a comfortable, pleasant read. Well, they are all mysteries where there is often murder and some horrible things happen to people. But I love the style and the characters, who are so familiar to me. Sins of the Fathers is the 24th book […]
I admit, I picked up The Thief, the first book in The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner, because Steve West was the narrator. Insert blushing emoji. Although this series has been around for a long time and is a perennial favorite with middle school librarians, I went in totally blind to this story […]
Everything Jill Shalvis writes is so enjoyable. The entire Heartbreaker Bay series is excellent. I know Kel from Idaho and I’m glad to know his story. Ivy is something fierce and she has had to be. What wonderful characters these are. I love the whole group of friends in this series also. These characters are […]
I met Julia Whelan this August at Book Bonanza in Texas and learned about this audiobook. She is a favorite narrator but I didn’t know she had authored a book as well. My Oxford Year is in that dreaded category called women’s fiction but is more accurately life fiction. This is Ella’s story of personal […]
