Sorry I missed last week, but here we are today. Unfortunately, it's not going to be the most exciting of wrap-ups, even given that it's two weeks worth.
I got a new book in the mail yesterday - Blade Runner (or Do Androids Dream Electric Sheep) by Phillip K Dick. I hope it's the actual Dick story and not a rewrite based off the movie. We'll see. I also snagged a bunch of free ebooks (4 to be exact) - All in the crime genres. And I bought a copy of my new release - in ebook and in paperback. I'm up to 37 books acquired this year and $40.53 spent. Woot.
Books Read:
20) The Singing Stones by Phyllis A. Whitney (5/17/25) - romantic suspense - 4 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. Picked this one up at the thrift store for $2.
Review: "The writing and the story were pretty good. I enjoyed the characters and most of the premise. She got a little 'woo-woo' in this one with the spiritual stuff for my liking, though."
19) Evil Under the Sun by Agatha Christie (5/15/25) - mystery - 5 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. I got this one from the thrift store for $1.
Review: "I bought this not realizing I'd read it before (and already had the exact same copy). I didn't catch the mistake until I was about a third of the way through. It was even better the second time around, even if I did know who did it."
No DNFs.
Currently Reading... On Her Majesty's Secret Service by Ian Fleming. I'd hoped to have it finished last night, but sleep called.
What have you been reading lately?
I've lost track of what I've read/listened to and haven't. I'm behind on my challenge. Doing relistens so nothing new. New stuff is coming. Hopefully. Currently listening to IRON AND MAGIC by Ilona Andrews. It's first in a spin-off series but fits in between MAGIC BINDs (finished relisten of dramatized version this week) and MAGIC TRIUMPHS, last book in the series and the dramatized version just dropped so it will be semi-new. LOL
ReplyDeleteLoved Whitney back in the day, AND Fleming. Enjoy!
Also, happy rainy day. Good for reading and writing, right?
