I am finding that there is no shortage of books set in World War II. What is really fascinating is that despite the number of them, they all seem to have a unique story line to them. That was the case with the book today. This was a book I kept seeing come up on … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Book of Lost Names

Book Recommendation – Energy Follows Thought
By the title of this book, you might think that it might be some sort of self-help book, or maybe a book about mindfulness, or some sort of science/psychology book. "Energy Follows Thought" just sounds ... profound. It sounds deep, right? To a degree, it can get a bit deep at times. It can be … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Energy Follows Thought
Book Recommendation: The Air Raid Book Club
My latest read wasn't a mystery, believe it or not. While that tends to be my most read genre, this historical fiction novel came up as a recommendation on Goodreads and it was really just a good story. The Air Raid Book Club is the first book I've read by author Annie Lyons. Unlike many … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Air Raid Book Club
Book Recommendation – Swing by Rupert Holmes
Earlier in the year I read a book by Rupert Holmes called Murder Your Employer. I blogged about it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/07/06/book-recommendation-murder-your-employer-rupert-holmes/ That book was good enough that I wanted to read more by him. I knew him as a singer, but not as a novelist. I came across a book entitled Swing. As someone who … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Swing by Rupert Holmes
Book Recommendation – Home Is Where The Bodies Are – Jeneva Rose
I just finished another good book that had been on my "To Read" list. My wife read it before I did and based on her reaction, I chose to read it next. The cover itself was intriguing and I added it to my list before I even read what it was about. This is the … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Home Is Where The Bodies Are – Jeneva Rose
Book Recommendation – Lou’s On First – Chris Costello
Growing up, one of the things that is forever etched in my mind was waking up on Sunday mornings and Abbott and Costello movies would be playing on Channel 7 (WXYZ/Detroit). It was on those Sunday mornings that I was introduced to classic films like Buck Privates, Who Done It?, Africa Screams, The Naughty Nineties, … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Lou’s On First – Chris Costello
Book Recommendation – End of Story by AJ Finn
As you know, I love a good mystery. I also love a mystery with a great "I didn't see that coming" moment. My latest read had both, and when the "I didn't see that coming moment" came I was truly floored. Here is the Goodreads synopsis: “I’ll be dead in three months. Come tell my … Continue reading Book Recommendation – End of Story by AJ Finn
Book Recommendation – Under The Paper Moon
A few weeks back, I was a lucky winner of a Goodreads Giveaway. I received Under The Paper Moon by Shaina Steinberg and I have just finished it. My first thought when I saw the cover was "Film Noir." It had that 1940's look about it and after reading the synopsis, I was excited to … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Under The Paper Moon
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: Mother-Daughter Murder Night
I've been waiting on this book for sometime and it finally became available. It's another murder mystery and while it was not as good as the last one I posted about, it is good just the same. The book has plenty of suspects who have the motive to murder, and surprisingly, I guessed the killer … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Mother-Daughter Murder Night
