Audiobook - The Wake-Up Call - Beth O'Leary

Thanks Caitlin for buying this and letting me borrow it! I think Caitlin likes Beth O'Leary since this is the third book I've read - all donated by my sister-in-law. This book is funny and cute, a real feel good read. It's made better

Additional Review K - Feminism or Lexiography?

The Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams I found this book on a book swap shelf in the play cafe where they host a book club. Fantastic book shelf that one, always something good to be found, and this was no different. I'm pretty sure our protagonist

Audiobook - Devil's Delight (Agatha Raisin #33) - M. C. Beaton

You can probably guess since this is number 33 in the series, that I quite like Agatha Raisin. I liked this one too, even though it wasn't actually written by M.C. Beaton since M.C. Beaton is dead. I gave that previous sentence my best M. C.

Additional Review J - A romance for the lesbian Swifties?

Playing for Keeps by Alexandria Bellefleur Thank you Goodreads and Harper Collins for the ARC of Playing for Keeps. For the purpose of reading in the hot tub on vacation in Cancun with a Mimosa, this was perfect. For real life it might be too vapid. The story line was

'25 October - theme: Agatha Christie

The Boomerange Clue (or "Why didn't they ask Evans?" by Agatha Christie Ahhh, after last month's epic, this is just what I needed. One of a few standalone mysteries by the queen of mystery, this is a cracking little book. This is definately one

'25 August - theme: Short Stories

Mavericks: Life stories and lessons of history's most extraordinary misfits by Jenny Draper While only tentatively fitting the theme of short stories, since all the stories are of real people and there is a considerable number of sources cited at the back of the book, this was a

Additional Review I - No more fish in the sea?

Back-slide by Nora Dahlia Thank you Goodreads and Gallery Books for the ARC of Back-slide. I am in the prime millennial demographic for this book, and I enjoyed the scenes from the dim and distant past (the 90's). In fact the flashbacks and the teenage romance sections were

Additional Review H - Do we still like vampires in 2025?

Dead as a Doornail (Sookie Stackhouse #5) by Charlaine Harris For some reason I never got to the Sookie Stackhouse series back in the 00's when they came out. I'm not sure why as I was full into other vampire series' (yes I read Twilight)

'25 June (Part 2) - theme: Pride Month

Possessive Puckboys by Eden Finley and Saxon James I wasn't happy that my original pride month book was gay enough. Soooo I typed really super gay book into amazon and this is what I got. So it's book 8 in the series and I haven'

'25 June (Part 1) - theme: Pride Month

Madison Square Murders by C. S. Poe Last year's pride month choice was so depressing I decided to have a happier choice this year. This book is about murder. Our main protagonist is quirky and weird. Larkin is instantly likable although the author repeatedly tells us that the
