This is another book that was suggested to me by my wife. Local Woman Missing was a good read. This is the first book by Mary Kubica I have read. If her others are as good as this, I will have to add them to my list. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: People don’t just … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Local Girl Missing

Book Recommendation – We Solve Murders
It seems like it has been awhile since I recommended a book to you.

Book Recommendation: The Storied Life of AJ Fikry
I sure enjoyed The Storied Life of AJ Fikry. It was one of those books that I could see it as a movie while reading it. (Spoiler alert: they already made it into a movie). I listened to the audiobook. The issue with audio books is that you don't see the words. So I didn't … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Storied Life of AJ Fikry

So when I stumbled on a sequel, I naturally had to read it. Perhaps it is a given that most sequels are bad. I suppose I felt that this … Continue reading Book Review – The Accidental Further Adventures of the 100-Year-Old Man
Book Review – Maybe Next Time

Book Review: The Edge of Sleep
Normally, I post what I would call a Book Recommendation, but I didn't feel that this was one I would actually recommend. I will let you decide for yourself.
