  • THE JUDAS STRAIN BY: JAMES ROLLINS

    THE JUDAS STRAIN BY: JAMES ROLLINS

    I must add – sometimes I’m unfair to Rollins as I enjoy his books so much I sometimes categorize them as ‘fun’ and not ‘work’ that I have to post a review for. OBVIOUSLY he’s the best ever… why do you need a review? Please excuse my tardiness of this review. Please excuse my lack…

  • MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN

    MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN

    I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review on this one because it really was so so good. Sometimes there are books that you finish reading and just whip out a review, easy peasy. This one felt different. It stuck with me. I couldn’t dive right into another book easily. I had…

  • POIROT INVESTIGATES BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE
  • THE MAID BY NITA PROSE

    THE MAID BY NITA PROSE

    The Maid is something special. How to pinpoint what exactly that ‘special’ is will be impossible .. but here is my attempt through this review.     If you’ve read any of my previous reviews you’ll know that I HATE when there is no mystery. When author cannot give the reader that ‘wonder’ while reading. If every…

  • HINDSIGHT (KENDRA MICHAELS, #7) BY: IRIS JOHANSEN

    HINDSIGHT (KENDRA MICHAELS, #7) BY: IRIS JOHANSEN

    Invested enough where I had to finish it … I struggled on how to review this book. At the end, I felt like I enjoyed it. While reading, I felt like I didn’t like it. I kept reading, sometimes you get just enough invested where you can’t put the book down without knowing what happens,…

  • 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…
