Book Recommendation – Close to Death – Anthony Horowitz

I finally got my hands on a new release by an author I have come to really enjoy - Anthony Horowitz. I stumbled on him because of a couple Sherlock Holmes themed books he wrote. From there, I stumbled on his Hawthorne and Horowitz series. You can read about those a bit here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/03/23/reading-recommendations/ Here … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Close to Death – Anthony Horowitz →

Book Recommendation: Wrong Place, Wrong Time

Not too long ago I posted about two books by Anthony Horowitz (Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders) which were truly unique in that there was a book within a book in each one. The whole idea of a murder mystery connecting with another murder mystery story was such an interesting concept. The stories were very … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Wrong Place, Wrong Time →

Book Recommendation: Moonflower Murders

I just finished another of Anthony Horowitz' books and I have come to really enjoy them. This is a follow up to The Magpie Murders, which has a similar premise. It's a book - with a book inside. Does that make sense? It's two murder mysteries for the price of one. Here is the Amazon/Goodreads … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Moonflower Murders →

Brief Update

The Game Is Afoot

Today I finished The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz. It was the Sherlock Holmes novel approved by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I really enjoyed it. To me, it read much like one of Doyle's Holmes stories. I would imagine that there has to be a bit of pressure for any author … Continue reading The Game Is Afoot →

Hodge Podge of Highlights

The past week has been fairly typical. Nothing too out of the ordinary for me. There have been some nice highlights, however. Sunday, we got a little snow. Sam promised the kids that we could go out and play in it. So we all bundled up and went outside as the snow fell. Andrew LOVES … Continue reading Hodge Podge of Highlights →

Turning Pages

I often question whether I should post about books I read. Then I remember that more often than not, I only read that book because some blogger I follow posted about it! Now I understand that just because someone praises a book doesn't mean I will enjoy it. If, however, it sounds like something I … Continue reading Turning Pages →
