Accidental re-read

Chief Inspector Armand Gamache #1 Still Life by Louise Penny

A coworker suggested this book to me at work. For some horrific reason, Goodreads didn’t know that I already read it. I think it’s even possible that my coworker suggested it to me a few years ago, I read it, didn’t update Goodreads, and then she suggested it to me again, so I read it again. I’m sure everyone her can relate to this – I read so many books that I cannot personally keep track of which books I’ve read. That’s what Senor Goodreads […]

Earlier this year I got a little bit burned out on long books and went on a bit of a short story binge. It also helps that there are a bunch of Amazon Prime free short stories. I love a free book. So this is a collection of the short stories I read when I was going through my regular book burnout. Some were good, and some were meh. None were really terrible. Five of the books were from the Amazon “Deadly Ambition” series, which […]

Don’t debate, celebrate reading!

The Secret Society of the Willbrook Witches by Camille Perron-Cormier

Chickenpox by Remy Lai

Lately, I’ve been debating a lot about whether I should write a review about some books I read. I like writing reviews for books. I love sharing my finds with others. Especially my children, middle readers and young adult reading, as it has been my experience that sometimes they are “shoved to the side” as afterthoughts, or dismissed as “just kids books,” or “not as good as adult reads.” I could go on. But back to debating on if I should review The Secret Society […]

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review.  Wow. This was perfect from beginning to end. It’s been a while since we had Eve looking for a suspect that she wanted to save in the end. The story breaks your heart from beginning to end. And I found myself rooting for the “bad” guy in this one. I do have to say though, I hope this is the last we have to hear about Peabody and […]

And Then There Were Bun by Vivien Chien

And Then There Were Bun by Vivien Chien

Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact the rating or review. I am going to start off that this is going to go a little ranty. And it’s because this cozy mystery decided to downplay some real world things going on and it set me off. And it has to do with the police. Fans of this series knows that the lead, Lana Lee, has been dating her boyfriend Adam Trudeau who is a detective with the local police […]

Saint Delilah by Isabelle Spotts

I received this book via NetGalley. This did not impact my rating or review. Well, I liked the cover, and that’s really all there is to say about this one. It was a confusing read with too many points of view and a ending that made no sense except to set up possibly another book starring Magda. And if Spotts had focused the book on just Delilah and Magda the book may have worked better. Saint Delilah follows a young 20 old dancer Delilah. Delilah […]
