Hi all! Here is (yet another) cozy murder mystery - can't beat light reading during the stress of an international health crisis. I was thrilled to pick this up, since Marty Wingate created a world that I love called the Birds of a Feather series, but that series is only available as e-books. This was … Continue reading Book Review: The Bodies in the Library, by Marty Wingate
I just discovered this meme, Down the TBR hole, from Confessions of a YA Reader, which is created by Lost in a Story (now Sunflowers and Wonder). Down the TBR Hole revolves around cleansing your TBR of all those books you’re never going to read and sort through it all to know what’s actually on … Continue reading Down the TBR Hole #1
As some of you may know, I am so obsessed with this series. I have been reviewing these books semi-consistently since starting this blog (see here, here, and here), and the fifth installment to the Veronica Speedwell series will be no exception. This is another one I needed to take a slight step back from … Continue reading Book Review: A Murderous Relation, by Deanna Raybourn
I was so bummed to miss last week's #5OnMyTBR challenge, so I am looking forward to this week! A couple of weeks ago, I started this weekly book challenge hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook called #5OnMyTBR, and I really enjoyed the exercise. It occurs every Monday when they post about 5 books on … Continue reading #5OnMyTBR, 5/11/2020
Happy Thursday, all (not sure if that is a thing; running with it). I am sorry I have been remiss - bookshelf project has been well underway, and work has been getting me down. However, I am very excited to review this next book, because it was the last one my book club read (come check … Continue reading Book Review: “Witches of New York,” by Ami McKay
Hi all, so a bit of a personal post. My SO has been building me built-in bookshelves for a couple of weeks now, and we are finally just about done. He put up the trim, and now I am filling them away. I am so incredibly proud and thankful for him to have done this … Continue reading #shelfie
Hello, all! I am a bad person, because I received this ARC in person at BookCon last year (RIP 2020), I only reviewed it on Goodreads and didn't write a formal write up. Shame on me! The Lady and the Highwayman was an amazing read, and I can only imagine it got better with editing. … Continue reading Book Review: “The Lady and the Highwayman,” by Sarah Eden
Thank you, Netgalley and Crooked Lane Books, for this ARC of Maggie Blackburn's new series! What may not be apparent on my blog is that I have a secret semi-guilty pleasure for cozy mysteries. Beyond that, I love cozy mysteries that include "book people," whether it be librarians, book sellers, or book cafes. So when I … Continue reading ARC Review: “Little Bookshop of Murder” by Maggie Blackburn
Hi all! I am sorry I have been absent (again); still trying to get a routine down for work, blogging, and generally not being a shitbag. Stay tuned! Last week I started this weekly book challenge hosted by E. @ Local Bee Hunter’s Nook called #5OnMyTBR, and I really enjoyed the exercise. It occurs every … Continue reading #5OnMyTBR, 4/27/2020
Hi all, sorry for the non- book review post. However, I find this issue to be particularly important and given the controversy, I think it is important to talk about it. The Trouble with "Free" Books The Internet Archive has recently launched what they call a "National Emergency Library," which they explain will allow readers … Continue reading A quick PSA on the National Emergency Library
