We Solve Murders by Richard Osman After having so much fun completing my monthly reading challenge last year, I embarked on some other challenges this year. Namely to visit every library my Wake County Library Card gives me access to. This challenge saw me driving to the other side of

Dirty Thirty by Janet Evanovich 30! Yes, she has written and I have read 30 of these guys! Like The Simpsons or SouthPark the characters never age while technology and society changes around them. I have been reading these since I was in Year 8/9! I read the first
