I know I haven't been the best reader lately. I have been the best anything lately, though, so it's not too surprising. Anyway, let's get to the books...
I picked up 6 new hardcopies - 2 hardcover and 4 paperback - and one new ebook this week. The ebook is paranormal romance. The hardcovers are both romantic suspense and the paperbacks are mystery, crime noir, western, and NF. I found an Agatha Christie I didn't have and hadn't heard of, a Zane Grey, a Don Hamilton, a Victoria Holt, a Phyllis Whitney, and the NF is by J. Edgar Hoover about the Communist menace. Should be interesting.
Books Read:
29) Five Complete Hercule Poirot Novels (8/18/25) - mystery - 5 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. I picked this one up in June of 2024 from a thrift store. It was 50c.
Review: "This took a while to get through, because I was reading other books between stories, but it was an excellent collection for this Poirot-lover."
No DNFs this week.
Currently reading... a SF I'd been looking forward to for a while but didn't have the budget to buy. Then the author put it on sale for 99c. Woot. So far, it's pretty enthralling.
What have you been reading lately?
I'm FINALLY on track with my challenge. I've read/listened to 77 books. I can't remember what I've reported and not. Suffice it say that I've been on a marathon of Thea Harrison's Elder Races series. I've finished all the books and novellas up to book 7 which I'm reporting today.
ReplyDelete77. Night's Honor (Elder Races #7), Thea Harrison, UF/Fanasy/ParaRom - 5 stars. He's a former priest now a vampire. (Left the priesthood during the Inquisition.) She's a bookkeeper on the run from a nasty Djinn. Enjoyed her character arc from desperate & scared spitless of vamps but offers her service for protection to realizing Xavier is one of the finest men she's ever known. Lots of action and sweet moments.
Currently relistening to MIDNIGHT'S KISS, book 8. He's the Vampire King. She's the heir to the Light Fae throne. Talk about Romeo and Juliet! Fun times. I'll be done today or tomorrow then on to the next in the series.
Happy reading!
