I might be showing my age here, but I normally mistrust analytical algorithms and AI-type thingys. (I am not a tech person, obviously.) I like to choose books based on personal recommendations and reviews (thanks Books of My Heart!) rather than what the library thinks I should read next. To be fair, it isn’t like […]
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. I’m working on reading Kelley Armstrong‘s backlist and I’ve always wanted to read the […]
Christian White is a new-to-me author, and I had no idea what to expect from this story. Lately, I’ve been on a thriller kick, and this one sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. Kimberly Leamy grew up in Australia with her mother, stepfather, and half-sister, living what she believed to be […]
The first book I ever read by Jojo Moyes left me a snot-sobbing mess. Now, whenever I pick up one of her novels, I am just a little fearful that I’m going to be put through the emotional wringer. So when my sister suggested I read We All Live Here, I’d prepared myself for anything. […]

It was interesting to tackle a police procedural set in a completely different country. This story mostly takes place in Copenhagen, Denmark, and follows Mark Hess, who is […]
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. I have been wanting to read the Joe Pickett series for awhile after reading […]
I love trivia and learning interesting facts about nearly every subject. Perhaps this is because any new tidbits are sure to give me an edge over my family when playing along with Jeopardy. While I am guilty of watching endless documentaries and informative videos, rarely do I turn to non-fiction when looking to expand my […]
A worthy, gritty task- thwarting human traffickers- and an equally challenging opportunity at romance awaits stern, disciplined Richard Mar. I settled in to enjoy this last of the series. Though The Edge series are standalone paranormal romances, there are enough ties of characters and plot connecting the books for it to read best in […]
After satiating myself on her Phyllida Bright Mystery series featuring Agatha Christie as a character, I was eager to taste test her newer series, American in Paris featuring the delectable Julia Child as a prominent side character. Colleen Cambridge does a spectacular job melding historical real life characters and time period settings with her […]
It has been a wild ride with much murder and mayhem, but Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Trilogy has come to a satisfying conclusion with the third and final installment, Scythe and Sparrow. I loved every minute I spent in the minds of the dark and twisted heroines of the first two books, but I think […]
