A Murder Most French by Colleen Cambridge @colleengleason.bsky.social @colleengleason @kensingtonbooks.bsky.social @KensingtonBooks @sophiarose1816

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 […]

🎧 Scythe & Sparrow by Brynne Weaver @brynneweaver.bsky.social @ms-brentmoor.bsky.social #EricNolan #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

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 […]

Sunday Series: Joe Pickett by CJ Box @cjboxauthor #DavidChandler @recordedbooks.bsky.social #SundaySeries #LoveAudiobooks #LibraryLove @RecordedBooks

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 […]

🎧 Fool Me Once by Harlan Coben @harlancoben.bsky.social @justjanuary.bsky.social #BrillianceAudio #LoveAudiobooks @HarlanCoben @justjanuary

I read Fool Me Once to prepare for the next book in the series, Nobody’s Fool. The characters mostly were wealthy enough to be able to spend their time as they wanted without worrying about the bills which always seems unrealistic. The series is Sami Kierce but there was no Sami Kierce in this book, […]

🎧 Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver @brynneweaver.bsky.social @ms-brentmoor.bsky.social #EricNolan #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

I had so much fun reading Butcher and Blackbird, I could hardly wait to begin Leather and Lark, the second installment in Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Trilogy. It is just as dark, just as swoony, and I loved it just as much. The trigger warning was, again, hilarious, and should definitely be heeded, because, as […]

🎧 Love You More by Lisa Gardner @LisaGardnerBks #KirstenPotter #KatieMacNichol @penguinaudio.bsky.social @PRHAudio #BantamBooks @audiobookmel.bsky.social @AudiobookMel #LoveAudiobooks

This is the fifth book in the D.D. Warren series and the first in a spinoff series about Tessa Leoni. With this book, I found on Goodreads there’s actually “the Gardner Universe” which consists of three series that all overlap a bit. It includes the D.D. Warren series, the Tessa Leoni series and the first […]

🎧 Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver @brynneweaver.bsky.social #JoeArden #LucyRivers #BlueNosePublishing #LoveAudiobooks @4saintjude

I’ve not yet developed the ability to self-regulate on social media. How can I be expected to exercise self restraint when the Dodo has so many adorable animal stories or the renovation on my high school friend’s kitchen is nearly done! My solution is to normally avoid social media and all of its temptations and […]

🎧 Live to Tell by Lisa Gardner @LisaGardnerBks #KirstenPotter #RebeccaLowman @amleestories @PRHAudio #BantamBooks @AudiobookMel #LoveAudiobooks

This is another Detective D.D. Warren story. So far, I would say that you can read each story without having read the previous books in the series. They all seem to stand on their own pretty well. Each story follows a case. This case is about the Harrington family. They are all found murdered, the […]
