These reads were all audiobooks. Three were library books, the rest I purchased A little bit of a switch up for Faith. Dystopian world in the future, genetically modified woman, alien bug technology and a mercenary army looking in her junkyard for a lost ship and […]
I’ve been on an historical mystery binge for the past several months. When selecting a new book, I look for an interesting plot, a believable female lead, and a little romance. So when the library app kindly suggested Murder at the Brightwell as a cozy, between-the-wars mystery I might enjoy reading next, I did two […]
I have never read a book by Seanan McGuire, but I have read a lot of books by her other pen name, Mira Grant. I wasn’t sure going into this book what to expect. I’ve read some authors with multiple pen names that have a different style with each pen name and with Grant, she’s […]

A girl with a bit of magic to her and friends made along the trail on the way to California during the gold rush set up a homestead and start to pan for gold. There is plenty of danger in the untamed lands of California and Leah’s uncle has some other plans for the […]
The Oysterville Sewing Circle came to my attention in a review. I’m sorry I can’t remember where. So I entered a Goodreads giveaway for a paperback copy. Because of my personal rules, this meant I needed to read it and write a review. What a gift it was to me! I couldn’t remember if this […]
In this mash up, somewhat a mash up of Firefly and Ice Truckers, we get to hang out with the crew of a ship as they make their way through space to a planet not everyone thinks should become part of the Galactic Union. Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet is like a documentary […]
