I have said in the past that I try to steer away from book series that focus on the same character. However, The Marlow Murders, The Anthony Horowitz books, and the Thursday Murder Club books all have some great characters who I don't mind following book to book. I finished Richard Osman's The Impossible Fortune … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Impossible Fortune

Book Recommendation – The Prophet and the Idiot
It had been awhile since I had read a Jonas Jonasson book. The Prophet and the Idiot has been on my "to read" list for some time. It has probably been on my list since I read The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared. As soon as I started reading … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Prophet and the Idiot
Book Recommendation – The Show Won’t Go On
This is one of those books that I found fascinating. It is written by Jeff Abraham, who I follow I Facebook. He has a lot of interesting Hollywood stories and an amazing vinyl record collection. The Show Won't Go On, as morbid as it might seem, was very interesting. Before I tell you my thoughts, … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Show Won’t Go On
Book Recommendation – Stoogeology
As a Three Stooges fan, I have pretty much read every book about them. I have read Moe's autobiography, Curly's biography written by his niece, Larry's biography written by Steve Cox, both of the Shemp biographies, and just about every other "compilation." This book has popped up on my Amazon "You Might Like" list for … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Stoogeology
Book Recommendation – Not Quite Dead Yet
When I listen to an audiobook, I use the Libby or Hoopla apps in my car. Most of the time I will go to my Goodreads "Want to Read" list and search the apps for what is available. One thing that I have noticed is many of the recommendations on all of the apps are … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Not Quite Dead Yet
Book Recommendation – I See You’ve Called In Dead
Here is another example of a book that I picked up because of the title - I See You've Called In Dead. It is also an example of a book that I found to be funny and thought provoking at the same time. Before I get into my thoughts, here is the Goodreads synopsis: The … Continue reading Book Recommendation – I See You’ve Called In Dead
Book Recommendation – How The Penguins Saved Veronica
It seems that I am reading faster than I can write recommendations. I've read at least four books that I want to write about, and will get to them. I know some blogger friends write about 4 or 5 books in one post, but I'd rather do them one at a time. I appreciate your … Continue reading Book Recommendation – How The Penguins Saved Veronica
Book Recommendation – Reports of His Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Here is another example of my reading a book simply because the title intrigued me - Reports of His Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated by James Goodhand. This book was just fantastic. That isn't always the case when you start reading knowing nothing but the title. However, as the story began, I connected with the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Reports of His Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated
Book Recommendation – Joy Moody is Out of Time
Most of the books I read are because of book suggestions on Goodreads, BookTok, or book blogs. I honestly don't know what made me add this to my "To Read" list. I may have thought this was a time travel novel, I'm not sure. Whatever the reason, I recently finished Joy Moody is Out of … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Joy Moody is Out of Time
Book Recommendation – Kill For Me, Kill For You
I always love when I can write about a book that I really enjoyed. That is the case for Kill For Me Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh. When I saw the title of the book, my thoughts immediately went to Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train. Come to find out, that film inspired the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Kill For Me, Kill For You
