I'm a bit behind on my book recommendations, and I thought I had better post at least one of them before I get further behind. Even though this book is a perfect summer read, it is good in any season. Today I want to suggest My Friends by Fredrik Backman. My Friends is the sixth … Continue reading Book Recommendation – My Friends

Book Recommendation – My Murder
I have had Katie Williams' My Murder on my "To Read" list for some time. I kept waiting for it to show up on Libby or Hoopla. That way I could listen to it on the ride to and from work. I haven't seen it on either platform. On a recent trip to the library … Continue reading Book Recommendation – My Murder
Book Recommendation – Kills Well With Others
Back in 2023, I read Deanna Raybourn's Killers of a Certain Age. My thoughts about that one can be found here. At the end of my recommendation, I wondered if the ladies from the book might show up in another story. Sure enough, they do. This time it is in Kills Well With Others. I … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Kills Well With Others
Book Recommendation – Shemp!
My dad introduced me to the Three Stooges at a very young age. Over the years I have read quite a few books about them. I read Moe's autobiography, which was completed after his death by the family. I read Curly's biography written by his niece. Larry wrote an "autobiography," but there is controversy about … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Shemp!
Book Recommendation – The Woman in the Window
I am really behind the times with the book I just finished. I found out that it came out in 2018, and actually had already been made into a Netflix movie. The Woman in the Window was recommended to me by the owner of a used book store I frequent. We were talking about our … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Woman in the Window
Book Recommendation – Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder
This is another book that I read because of the title. I admit that at first I assumed Lenny was a male character. I'm not sure why, but it sounded to me like a crime novel. It wasn't. I suppose if I had looked at the cover, I might have figured out that Lenny was … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder
Book Recommendation – The Man Who Died Seven Times
I recently took the kids to Barnes and Noble to get a book. While I was there, I looked around at the new books. I always like to see what's out and what I might want to add to my list. They had a "Staff Recommends" shelf. There were a few on the shelf that … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Man Who Died Seven Times
Book Recommendation – Queen of Poisons
This book has been out for a while, but I was just now finding it as an audio book. It is the third installment of the Marlow Murder Club stories. - The Queen of Poisons. The Marlow Murder Club reminds me a lot of the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman. It's a group … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Queen of Poisons
Book Recommendation – The Book of Cold Cases
A friend of ours is always good about sharing books that she enjoyed with my wife and I. My wife actually read this one first, and I was able to read it this week. I went into this book only knowing the title and that it had a "true crime" aspect to it. The Book … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Book of Cold Cases
Book Recommendation – The War Pianist
My wife knows I like historical fiction books. She found this at Sam's Club and said, "It sounds like a story you might like. My first thought was "a piano player during wartime?" Then I read the Goodreads Synopsis: Pianist: NOUN. Informal. A person who operates or controls a radio transmitter – often in code. … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The War Pianist
