In the Eye of the Storm

Alaskan Blackout by Joanne Rock

June 16, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

When Quint goes to the Aleutian Islands in search of his estranged half-brother, the last person he expects to be drawn to is McKenna, Clayton’s step-sister – and the only person who knows where he’s hiding. This was a quick read about a pair of people who butt heads a-plenty even as they acknowledge how much they like each other. I liked the wild, windswept setting of the Aleutian Islands, and learning more about how people lived in such an isolated place. The central scene […]

DNF Part 1: Crossing these off my list

The Greek Myths by Robert Graves

Troy by Stephen Fry

I Want to Be Where the Normal People Are by Rachel Bloom

Paris Dallencourt Is About to Crumble by Alexis Hall

June 15, 2023 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

Here is the first batch of “did not finish” for CBR 15. Troy by Stephen Fry The audio book was 11 hours. Listened to about half of it. Skipped quite a bit. Still didn’t finish it. I read Mythos and thought that the audiobook version of Troy would be easier to digest. It was not. Greek Myths by Robert Graves This is basically an encyclopedia of Greek myths. Maybe you can use this as some sort of reference material. But I could not get through […]

“Literarily speaking,” he said, and proceeded to lecture. Christie, he contended, was overrated. More of a popular author.

Last Word to the Wise by Ann Claire

June 15, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Ellie and Meg Christie, sisters and co-owners of the Book Chalet, have been winkled into testing out their cousin’s new matchmaking service. Ellie’s date is odious, but Meg hits it off with hers – until it seems like he’s stood her up for brunch the next day. Except it turns out that Joe Darcy is actually dead, and Meg is at the top of the suspect list. This is the second book in the Christie Bookshop Mystery series, a new cozy mystery series. I read […]

More Thursday Murder Club!!

The Man Who Died Twice (Thursday Murder Club #2) by Richard Osman

June 14, 2023 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

OK so this is literally the Thursday after the end of the first book. Like I said – I fell in love with these characters. I want to be in the Thursday Murder Club. I feel like I’d be a snack contributor though. These people have contacts and make connections that are really impressive! I could make really impressive snacks! We start out with Elizabeth getting a letter from her ex-husband, who is supposed to be dead. Sidebar – I love how in all of […]

Two more Enola Holmes books!

Enola Holmes and the Black Barouche (Enola Holmes #7) by Nancy Springer

Enola Holmes and the Elegant Escapade (Enola Holmes #8) by Nancy Springer

June 13, 2023 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I just love Enola so much. She just fully refuses to be a proper lady like she’s “supposed” to be. At this point her pain in the butt brothers have realized that she can’t be tamed or sent to a boarding school, or whatever they want to do to make her a proper lady. They thankfully just let her be her awesome self. We start this story with her brother Sherlock being mopey and most likely in the throes of a depressive episode. Miss Letitia […]

A teen goes missing… years later the truth comes out

Open House: A Novel by Katie Sise

June 13, 2023 by kfishgirl 1 Comment

Ooh I liked this one. It’s a common theme in the thriller or suspense genre. Something happens to a teen. Years or decades pass. Something brings the people surrounding the event back together. The truth comes out slowly. More people die! I’m not saying that’s a bad thing. I love it. I’ve read a bunch of books with that similar theme, but I’ve liked them all. Our main character is Haley, and the missing/murdered teen was her sister Emma. Haley leaves for a while to […]
