I didn’t know what to expect here but I love scifi and Murderbot is one of my very favorite series. However, Witch King feels more like epic fantasy. There are lots of characters and types of characters with complex abilities and magic. I think I will definitely want to read again, possibly listening while reading […]
While this is a time travel mystery series, this book has no time travel which suits me very well. I’m enjoying the historical mystery and the lovely characters here. Now in The Poisoner’s Ring, we have a series of poisonings and since Isla is a chemist there is concern she will be drawn into the […]
T. Kingfisher is a favorite author of mine, but I primarily read her fantasy. A House With Good Bones is more horror-lite and southern gothic. It was both funny and a little bit creepy, until it was a lot a bit creepy. After this book, I will never look at vultures and roses in the […]
There are a lot of bases covered in Blind Spots. There is a police procedural mystery but also a science fiction thriller. I enjoy all of these genres and the technological aspects in the story were interesting. Basically a virus caused The Blinding 7 years ago. Technology was developed so that people would be able […]
The Rockton series is much loved by me, and one of my most anticipated releases each year. I would say I have grown to be a huge fan of this author in a variety of genres and her recent series. I would not try to read this as a standalone because of character development and […]
Back in 1992, my soon-to-be husband brought home what might have been the thickest paperback novel I’d ever seen, The Eye of the World by Robert Jordan, the first book in the Wheel of Time series. As we were both students with full schedules at the time, opportunities for ‘joy-reading’ were few and far between. […]
I LOVE the Orphan X series. I recommend reading from the beginning, in order, for the character and world developments. Evan has grown and become more personable throughout the series. He is a support for the people at Castle Heights, especially Mia and Peter, and a parental figure, at least a caretaker for Joey. I […]
I was a little worried about reading Hell Bent without going back to listen to Ninth House. It would have been better, sure, but I remembered a lot, and many details. The world and its magic are complex and dangerous. There will be spoilers here for Ninth House. Alex has made some friends and […]
Make A Wish is the third book of the Spark House series following one of three sisters as she tries to find her place in the family business while also navigating a new relationship with a the widowed father she nannied for eight years before. It is a cute story and can be read as […]
I’ve been enjoying the Aaron Falk series with the Australian cultural aspects along with an odd sort of police procedural. Falk is a federal police for financial cases. He works in Melbourne. But all of the cases in the series are when he is out visiting in the region where he grew up. The series […]
