Now that it is officially the Christmas season, I'd like to offer up a holiday read for you. If you are looking for a quick holiday mystery to read, let me offer up one to you. I stumbled on author Peter Swanson when "Eight Perfect Murders" came up as a suggestion on Goodreads. That led … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Christmas Guest

Book Recommendation – Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man
One of the hardest things about using my library's Libby App is the occasional wait. This was the case recently as I had finished one book and was waiting for another. When this happens, I usually go to the other Library App (Hoopla). It is there that I will grab something short to read until … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Viviana Valentine Gets Her Man
Book Recommendation – One Puzzling Afternoon
I had this book in my "favorites" on the Hoopla app for a while. The title intrigued me. I "favorite" a book I want to read and when it is time for a new read, I search there. After finishing my prior books I clicked on the book to read it, but it kept giving … Continue reading Book Recommendation – One Puzzling Afternoon
Book Recommendation – Local Girl Missing
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 – None of This Is True
All I can say is, "Wow!" I could not put this one down. Lisa Jewell's None of This is True was a novel that kept me wanting to know more. I feel like I should give you the Goodreads synopsis before I start giving my thoughts, so here it is: Lisa Jewell returns with a … Continue reading Book Recommendation – None of This Is True
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
Book Review – The Accidental Further Adventures of the 100-Year-Old Man
Recently, I read Jonas Jonasson's The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared. I really enjoyed the book and laughed out loud a lot. 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: 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. As many of you know, I work as a Sleep Technologist. When I saw the title of this book, I wondered if it might be something … Continue reading Book Review: The Edge of Sleep
Book Recommendation: The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip
“You have to be the friend people need while they are there with you, because it's the only chance you'll get.” - (The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip) Sometimes the title of a book is enough to peak my interest. If you go back through some of the books I've read in the past year, … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Extraordinary Deaths of Mrs. Kip
Book Recommendation: The Secret Book of Flora Lea
Every once in a while a book on my "to read" list will sit on there a bit. Usually this is because I've read a negative review on Goodreads or maybe someone on one of the book related Facebook groups I belong to said they couldn't finish it. I need to keep in mind that … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Secret Book of Flora Lea
