The Thursday Murder Club is Back!!

The Impossible Fortune (Thursday Murder Club #5) by Richard Osman

September 24, 2026 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

I don’t know if it says something about me, or something about Richard Osman, but I find these “murder club” books immensely comforting. I read the first four and I didn’t even know there was a new book out until I saw it on Audible. It was the correct choice to listen to the audiobook too, because Fiona Shaw is the narrator. She is the PERFECT person to narrate this series. I’m just going through my Goodreads and I have no earthly idea if I […]

Bones & Bloodlines: A Small Town, Amateur Sleuth Cozy Mystery by Laurie Alberswerth

Bones & Bloodlines by Laurie Alberswerth

September 23, 2026 by Classic Leave a Comment

Bones & Bloodlines is a fun cozy mystery and it intrigues me enough to read additional books in this series later, but think there was some things that just kept it a solid 3 star. Some of those things are that Alberswerth wrote this as if we knew Jude and Audie West. There’s still some puzzles to me at least some of their past and I wish we had more world building about them and their pasts. Also, there are some threads left unexplored that I […]

Are we supposed to like this woman? The author sure doesn’t.

Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke

September 23, 2026 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

There was so much hype around this book that I had to read it. I actually got a new Audible subscription, so I didn’t have to wait for the library to have a copy available. I can’t figure out if I actually liked it though. I originally rated it four stars, but then I downgraded it to three stars. I don’t know if that was based on the actual writing or the characters though. I’m thinking it was probably a combination of the two. Our […]

some review backlogs: noir but with animals but which still makes you use words like dame and doll

Green City Wars by Adrian Tchaikovsky

September 23, 2026 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

There are a few authors who seem to be barely human in their ability to consistently generate interesting, novel novels. I understand how difficult it is to do art, and I appreciate greatly that there’s a lot of work that goes into doing art. Tchaikovsky seems to do art on a different level–the Roberts/Sanderson level–where there’s like, a book or two or three every year and all pretty different and always a good outing even when, like with this book, I found them less keen […]

King of the Pirates or something like that

One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn by Eiichiro Oda

September 22, 2026 by BlackRaven 1 Comment

As you know, occasionally I need a change of scenery on the weekends. So instead of looking at, working with and reading books at work or home, I go to the library to look at and read books and I have been known to straighten a section. And when I do, I never know what will come of it. I usually get in some fun people watching or listening (on this trip I heard this tiny voice, “Where are the chickens?”), looking at titles that […]

Billionaires Are Bad, This Book Is Great

Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton

September 22, 2026 by G.D. Giant Leave a Comment

“Birnam Wood,” by Eleanor Catton, was published in 2023. I picked up my copy in 2024, and it took me approximately two years to get into it. I started the book multiple times, but just couldn’t get past the dense prose that is apparently Catton’s specialty. This time I stuck with it, and I’m so very glad I did. This book is fantastic. It won’t be for everyone, and you really do have to tough it out for a bit, but it’s absolutely worth it. […]

    And throwing in Grandma Mazur from the Stephanie Plum novels too? That's really tempting...
