Book Thoughts

If you are watching a movie or a TV show, you can turn it off or walk out if you are done with it. In the same way, you can just stop reading a book. That doesn't happen often for me, but I almost stopped reading both of them. Both of them just seemed slow … Continue reading Book Thoughts →

Book Recommendation: Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice For Murders

I just finished listening to the audio version of this book by Jesse Q. Sutanto. I guess this is what folks refer to as a "cozy mystery."

Book Recommendation: The Museum of Ordinary People

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I'm a mystery guy and this is not a mystery. It is a wonderful novel that I connected to on so many levels. Let me give you the Goodreads synopsis first and then I will explain. From Goodreads Still reeling from the sudden death of her … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Museum of Ordinary People →

Book Recommendation – Eight Perfect Murders By Peter Swanson

I recently finished another book that was on my "To Read" list. It was one that I actually listened to the audiobook while driving to and from work.

It's been fun to … Continue reading Another Good Read: This Time Tomorrow →
