Week in Review #25

The Week in Review is where I combine Stacking the Shelves, The Sunday Post and It's Monday! What are you reading?  If you have never joined in on these meme's you can check them out by clicking on the meme and it will take you to the host blog.

This week wasn't much different than last week so don't have a lot to say. I will say I am tired of rain but glad it's not snow but it's like every couple days we have rain then a day off then more rain for a couple days then one off and I am just so done with rain.

Have a great week and happy reading!

What you might have missed on my blog

Review of Rules For Vanishing

Books I have added

• The New Mother - Isolated. Lonely. Tired. It's hard being The New Mother. Sometimes it's murder. That was all I needed to know to click on this one, hope it's good...lol.
• Method of Malice - Welcome back to Hope Street Church, where friendships are formed, fresh starts are encouraged, and mysteries are solved . . . So I thought this series was over, then there was one that came out in 2020 and then nothing but with that little tagline I wonder if the author is bringing it back! I always enjoyed this series so that would be cool.
• What the River Buries - Teen girl sees someone getting rid of a body and takes a picture of the tatoo on the persons neck, then her sketchbook turns up at her house with a note telling her going to the police could be a "grave error"! Sounds pretty cool to me! Also that cover is pretty!
• An American in Scotland - Sea Isle was supposed to be the fresh start Dr. Emilia McRoy dreamed of, away from the busy ERs of the big city in America. Instead some stumbles upon a dead body and sluething ensures! First in a new series! Hope this is a good one!

One of the lovely ladies who views my videos on Youtube and hangs out on my live shows that I do with friends knew I liked this author and she was coming to a bookstore near her so she got me a signed copy and took a pic with the author so I could have it. So sweet of her!

Books read last week

• Wait For Me - This will be good for those who like books involving past lives, that is not really my thing as I don't believe in that stuff but the mystery part was good so it gets 3 stars.
• Nothing Ever Happens to Ethan Fairmont - This one was okay but would have liked more about the alien and less social commentary. 3 stars.
• No Strangers Here - First in the County Kerry series and I enjoyed it. I was worried as I am not a huge fan of her Irish Village series but I am happy to say no annoying MC in this one. :) 4 stars.
• Dance Hall of the Dead - Second book in the Leaphorn and Chee series and it was okay. It's from the 70s so not as action packed for a crime novel like I am use to but not bad. 3 stars.
• The Midnight Children - Contemporary with a bit of magical realism and was okay. 3.5 stars

Currently reading

 

• High-Stakes Blizzard - I am still enjoying this one. I am 44% into it.
• A Sinister Revenge - The latest book in the Veronica Speedwell series and I am about 17% into it and I am just not sure what I think, I want to like it but right now I am not. :(
• The Gamble - I wanted to get to this one last month so squeezing it in among all the mysteries...lol. So far I am really liking it I am 24% into the audiobook.
• The Black Echo - The first Harry Bosch book and I am enjoying it but I hate that it's split into parts and no chapters. Each part is like 60 pages or so and I would like some shorter chapters!
• A Great Deliverance - Just starting this one so no opinion.
• The Writing Retreat - Also just starting this one.

What might be up next

 Not sure! :)
