You know when you love an author and they try something a little new and you are really excited for it on one hand, but then on the other you just want to read the stuff you know you already love. Songs of the Dead, the first book in The Strata Wars, was a book […]
When I saw The Best Dog in the World, I knew I had to have it. I started listening with my daughter as I knew she would also enjoy it. We were on the way to her physical therapy appointment which is an hour drive each way. It was convenient that this is a collection […]
I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lynn Painter. So I always want to read her books. An added draw here, is the setting in the Twin Cities of Minnesota. I lived there for 35 years, and on Lake Minnetonka where at least two of my neighbors had hockey rinks with lights in their back […]
I picked up this audiobook after seeing a post from Mark Hamill about starring in an upcoming Stephen King adaptation. I wasn’t familiar with The Long Walk before that, and this ended up being my first Richard Bachman book. King has written so much over the years, it’s hard to keep up with both […]
I haven’t been paying much attention to new releases lately, even for people as big as Stephen King. But when I saw there was a new Holly Gibney story out, I got really excited. I’ve been a fan of Holly’s since I first read about her as a side character in the Bill Hodges series. […]
I always enjoy a Ruth Ware mystery thriller. The Woman in Suite 11 is a follow up on the Lo Blacklock character 10 years after the time in The Woman in Cabin 10. It’s better if you have read the first book but not absolutely necessary. In the interim, Lo has married Judah and they […]
The Safari looked so interesting with its African setting and mystery genre. There weren’t as many animals or much safari activity but the mystery was there like a remote place with bodies dropping. A wealthy family comes to their retreat lodging in South Africa. Their company has worked with sustainable, eco friendly products particularly clothing. […]
Heartwood is a mystery told by a character story. Valerie is a nurse hiking the Appalachian Trail in Maine, supported by her husband, who is not hiking but following along. Lena is an older woman living in a nursing home who watches birds and works on various ideas in her mind. Beverly is a game […]
I have read all three series by J.A. Jance for a long time. I always recommend to read series in order. This Ali Reynolds series is probably the least realistic of the three, and is not based on law enforcement personnel like the other series. I still love it. Ali was a news anchor who […]
Mr. Harrigan’s Phone This was an interesting story. It follows a kid who starts doing odd jobs for a rich man who has moved to town to retire from the big city. They form a pretty good relationship. Mr. Harrigan likes to send cards on specific holidays with a one dollar scratch off inside. One […]
