  • MURDER IN RETROSPECT (HERCULE POIROT #25) BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE

    Another Christie Classic! I am working through my goal of reading all the books in the Hercule Poirot series. This was a bit different one as we ‘went back in time’ to solve the murder. I was trying to keep up with Hercule as I read. I thought I knew who did it the whole…

  • A FATAL LIE (INSPECTOR IAN RUTLEDGE, #23) BY: CHARLES TODD

    My first Rutledge book! This was an okay book … I enjoyed that I was able to pick up book #23 and not feel like I was missing anything by not reading books 1-22. I also really enjoy books set in the past. No quick texting or cameras, etc. The inspector has to go back…

  • THE PUSH BY: ASHLEY AUDRAIN

    At first I thought I hated it, but then I couldn’t put it down.In the beginning I disliked the writing style. I didn’t understand why we kept going back in time and it left me super confused. Even with the different type (italicized vs not) I still found myself thinking … wait… who is Etta,…

  • MY SISTER’S GRAVE (TRACY CROSSWHITE, #1) BY: ROBERT DUGONI

    This was alright! (Said with a drawl) And ya know, that’s alright!This book wasn’t anything special but I did freaking enjoy reading it. It had all your basic drama and all the pieces to make it a good mystery/suspense. The fact that we don’t get a conclusion of the murder Tracy was on BEFORE she…

  • SONG OF THE FOREVER RAINS BY: E.J. MELLOW

    Cute fantasy story!I purposely used the word ‘cute’ because I just picture a teenager picking this up and adoring it. It’s not for a huge sci-fi fan. The world building, lack of magical rules (as other reviewers have said) leave it lacking there … but overall, a really cute story that I think a lot…

  • EVERY OTHER WEEKEND BY: ABIGAIL JOHNSON

    This was good – a nice book for YA audiences.Abigail did a good job really capturing those ‘teenage’ thoughts that we might have forgotten we had. It was very authentic. This is a heart-string-pulling story that, I will admit, I didn’t like at first. As I kept reading, the characters really started growing on me…

  • MIDNIGHT SPELLS MURDER (A HAPPY CAMPER MYSTERY BOOK 2) BY: MARY ANGELA

    So cute!I chipped away at this book little, by little right before bed. It is a nice, wholesome murder mystery that I really enjoyed reading. Again, not life changing by any means and that is the only reason I docked it a star. Overall, such a cute book I would easily pick up again to…

  • THE SUN ROSE IN PARIS BY: BY PENNY FIELDS-SCHNEIDER

    This book was cheesy, but in an artsy way. Does that make sense? The Sun Rose in Paris is first and foremost a love story. I won’t say with who because I loved finding that out myself while reading. It is such a beautiful love story surrounded in the world of art and set back in…

  • SURVIVE THE NIGHT BY: RILEY SAGER

    HUGE Riley Sager fan – but this one was harder to get through compared to the others. I just reallllllllyy hated the main character.  I hated being mislead with straight lies from other characters. And I could not put the book down.I’m realizing a pattern with Sager books.– They are an emotional thriller (for the reader).– Usually are…

  • THE BOBBY GOLD STORIES BY: ANTHONY BOURDAIN

    First let me start off by saying, this book isn’t anything special…. but it is. It is because it’s Anthony Bourdain. He’s special. He was special before he died and he’s extra special now. So right away, WOW. It feels you get a little insight to his brain, what he was thinking creatively and that…
