It has been a few years since I’ve read a Rainbow Rowell book and man I have missed her. There is something about her characters and stories that just pulls me in. I read all the time and I caught myself sneak reading at work and staying up until 2am to finish this book, which […]
I have read and loved the V.I. Warshawski series for a looooong time, since it started in 1982! Each book is another case, so you could read them out of order but I wouldn’t. I enjoy the progression of the characters and they are all great to read. Vic is back in Lawrence, Kansas for […]
Sunrise Cove series has the warmest, loveliest people with the worst backgrounds ever. The books are completely standalones. I love the farm setting with the rescue animals and the various plants growing. Luna has created a group of misfits who are loved as family: her best friend and husband, her gay ex-boyfriend and his […]
I am a fan of this author and couldn’t wait to read about the dogs. Brenda has had some bad life experiences around Christmas so she is determined to avoid it going forward. She has done a great job of picking herself up and making a great new life in spite of those bad events. […]
I have read all four series by J.A. Jance for a long time. I always recommend to read series in order. This Joanna Brady – Brandon Walker series is a spin-off of their two individual series. I have read both of those series so it was easy for me to start, already knowing all the […]

I’ve enjoyed every book in the Duncan Kincaid & Gemma James series. I’ve read all 19 books and love the development of the characters including their families, friends and co-workers. The mysteries, usually murder, are also a bit complex. It’s just such a pleasure and comfort I feel as I read. The Kincaid family is […]
The Sunrise Cove series continues but the books are completely standalones. Three twenty-somethings who knew each other 5-10 years ago are brought back together when Eleanor dies. Lauren is her estranged grand niece. Knox is the son of her former house cleaner. Alice is the daughter of a car mechanic, and who ran a show […]
This is a collection of short stories by Joe Hill. I’ve read him before, but this is my first collection of shorts by him. I will admit I did pick this after seeing a trailer for The Black Phone. I didn’t know much about this collection, but I’ve read Joe Hill in the […]
I wanted Marple: Twelve New Mysteries as soon as I heard of this anthology of short stories about Jane Marple. It’s kind of like Jane Marple fanfiction by some well-known authors in the genre. I was happy to read stories by some favorite authors and also to try some authors, some of them I’ve wanted […]
