I really enjoy the historical mystery series by this author and she has multiple series. For the HoHoHo Read-athon, I listened to the newest Christmas story. Goodreads doesn’t consider it a series, but I think of it that way. All of the Christmas stories are a bit shorter, about a half book size but longer than […]
Bastille vs. the Evil Librarians is the final book of the Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians series where we change PoVs from Alcatraz to Bastille. You might wonder why on book 6 we are changing PoVs but that is easy, because Alcatraz is a blubbering mess for the first half of the book and Bastille […]
I waited awhile for the few audio books without David Chandler narrating in the Cork O’Connor series to be rerecorded by him. I caught up to current this year since that happened and was ready for more. I would read these books in order as the personal and career changes happen as we go along. […]
The Veronica Speedwell series follows lady sleuth Veronica as she seems to fall into dangerous plot, kidnappings and murders. In An Impossible Imposter, it looked like she was going to have a better time of it all. All she needs to do is go to an estate in her role as a Lepidopterist to look […]
The Veronica Speedwell series is very much a Sherlock Holmish mystery and while An Unexpected Peril is again a mystery, this time Veronica spends more time pretending to be someone she is not, than solving a mystery. Veronica, Lepidopterist by trade, is no stranger to royalty since she is the illegitimate (or legitimate sort of […]
Veronica Speedwell series has been a lot of fun so far and A Murderous Relation, the fifth book of the series is no exception. Veronica, a lepidopterist (someone who studies butterflies) by trade, and adventurer by accident has just stumbled head first into another mystery. It is amazing how many times she gets both herself […]
If you have enjoyed Jack Campbell’s other series, Lost Fleet and Beyond the Frontier, and Lost Stars, Genesis Fleet series, you will love this too. I started reading Jack Campbell in 2015 when I was sent an ARC of one of the Leviathon, which was the final book in the Beyond the Frontier series. Of […]
Americans flocked to National Parks in record numbers during 2021. I used literary escapism to visit the wide expanse of the Rocky Mountain West. Anyone else unable to make the journey in person might do the same, courtesy of C.J. Box’s Joe Pickett series. Open Season is the first in the mystery/thriller series, where we […]
There is no better way to say it, but Outlander is EPIC. Och Aye, it is one of my favorite books/series of all time. Its sheer size makes reading it a bit of a commitment; however, for lovers of historical fiction and romance, it is worth every minute of the investment. The recent release of […]
Wow. I always enjoy this author. I found the mystery aspects to be elusive and twisty. There are a couple storylines which eventually connect and intertwine later. I liked the characters well enough, although they are not the people I would meet in my everyday life. I understood and empathized with their feelings. Avery was […]
