Lose Yourself in the World of Books
Shady Hollow #3 The third in the series, Mirror Lake has been my favorite of the series thus far. I don’t know if there will be more (there is a short story eBook and the review for that will be up tomorrow!), but for now, this is the third and final full book. Synopsis From… Continue reading Mirror Lake by Juneau Black
Shady Hollow #2 Every year, when on a relaxing vacation, I set myself the task of reading a book a day. In order to accomplish this, I tend to keep the books to 250 pages or less. I’d been meaning to finish the Shady Hollow series for awhile and now I had the perfect opportunity!… Continue reading Cold Clay by Juneau Black
Book club is back! We have a new name, again, but now that I have a new bookstore to work at, I’m hoping this one will be the one to stick. We’ve had some major shuffling in the last two and a half years - countless virtual meetings, a false start in July, and now… Continue reading The Lamplighters by Emma Stonex
Shady Hollow #1 When reviewing titles for the spring, one of our reps handed me an advance copy of Shady Hollow shortly before I left for a beach vacation in October. Deciding it might be what I would be in the mood more, and being short enough to be read in a day, I excitedly… Continue reading Shady Hollow by Juneau Black
Wow, it has been awhile since I’ve been inspired to write any book reviews. I’ve been reading new books (while also revisiting my favorites including The Montmaray Journals) but haven’t been able to put my thoughts about these books on paper. As my amazing sister has talked about, we lost our beloved Moppy in September… Continue reading Lady Emily series by Tasha Alexander
Miss Marple #3 Summer is here which means it is once again time for my annual Agatha Christie! This year it's The Body in the Library, the second in her Miss Marple collection. Synopsis It's seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is… Continue reading The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
Sherlock Holmes #2 I'm not the biggest Sherlock Holmes fangirl, but when Anthony Horowitz came to the bookstore I work at, I figured I should pick out one of his books to read, and to break out of my reading comfort zone! Synopsis Internationally bestselling author Anthony Horowitz's nail-biting new novel plunges us back into… Continue reading Moriarty by Anthony Horowitz
Hercule Poirot #10 Just like A Study in Scarlet, Murder on the Orient Express was one of the Modern Readers' Magical Mystery Tour books from last summer. Every since I saw The Mousetrap, one of Agatha Christie's plays, and watched the Doctor Who episode that includes Agatha as part of the storyline, I've wanted to read one of her famed… Continue reading Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie
On Thursday, before leaving home for a bit of a road trip, I was desperately searching through the Overdrive app for a new audiobook - I could not undertake the journey without one and I had forgotten to swing by the library the previous two days. Imagine my excitement when I stumbled across an Agatha… Continue reading And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie
Sherlock Holmes #1 Last summer, my book club, the Modern Readers, decided to go on a magical mystery tour, reading one contemporary, one Agatha Christie and one Sherlock Holmes mystery. We had a heck of a lot of fun and we will definitely do it again at some point! This is the original graphic used… Continue reading A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
