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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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…
