Whoa... last day of May. Where's the time going this year?
Last week, I stopped at the thrift store and picked up 4 books for a dollar - mystery, suspense, fantasy, and NF. The NF was Trees of Missouri, and it's awesome. It didn't even look like it had been opened, but the spine is light like it's been sitting in the sun. Hubs was very impressed that it was only a quarter. No new ebooks this week.
Books Read:
22) You Only Live Twice by Ian Fleming (5/29/25) - action/hard-boiled crime - 5 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. Got this for a quarter at a thrift store.
No Review.
Extra note: This is the last of the Bond paperbacks I picked up. I probably won't be reading more of these unless I happen across some at a thrift store.
21) On Her Majesty's Secret Service by Ian Fleming (5/24/25) - action/hard-boiled crime - 5 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. Got this for a quarter at a thrift store.
Review: "I really should take a star away for what Fleming did at the end of the book, but I can't. This is an awesome story, so well written and thrilling. Lucky for me, I have #12 sitting right here to start, so I can find out if James really does exact some justice."
No DNFs.
Currently reading... a SF/dystopian ebook. So far, it's pretty interesting. As long as it stays that way, I'll finish it. If not, into the DNF bin it goes.
What's been on your reading list this week?
This was a slow listening week. I finished off the dramatized versions of Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series. Love the cast and the adaptation. I'm still like 13 books behind on the challenge. Ah well. All the books were and are 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteI bought a 4-book bundle on sale, The Magic Side series. Werewolves and other magical types with a secret island off Chicago. Totally news to me by Veronica Douglas, also new to me. I'm almost through the first book, WOLF BOUND. Four audio books for $7.99 is a bargain so yeah. So far so good.
Happy reading!
