Happy Halloween! Now, on to the book stuff...
I only picked up one new ebook at the start of this week and I already read it. Then last night, I picked up a couple more off of FB. I have a romance left from before, and now I have a new mystery and a new UF to read. Yay. No new hardcopies this week, but I have tons of those on the shelves.
Books Read:
71) Death du Jour by Kathy Reichs (10/30/20) - Suspense - 5 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. 50c at the thrift store.
Review: "I'd
never read this far back in the series before. If I hadn't picked this
copy up at a thrift store, I probably would never have thought to go
back this far. Now I need to find the first book in the series.
Definitely thrilling. Also very interesting."
70) Groundskeeper: Raking Up the Dead (10/24/20) - Paranormal Mystery* - 5 stars. The author isn't new to me, but as a new release, this is probably less appreciated than it should be. I follow the author on FB. When she said she had a new release, I scampered over to see what it was about and then one-clicked it at $1.99.
Review: "I
inhaled it! This story was so much fun. I only wished there was more of
it. I loved Chloe! And the whole idea of a cemetery caretaker actually
taking care of the undead residents of the cemetery is brilliant. I hope
the author writes more stories about this character.
DNFs:
10/27/20 - dark UF - free. Meh. I got about 18% in and decided I didn't really care enough about any of the characters to keep reading. Which was too bad because the premise was pretty good and the world building was solid. =o\
Currently reading... after I finished the suspense, I decided to spend the rest of the night watching TV and playing poker. No clue what I'll pick up next to read. Probably the one ebook I have left - a romance.
What was on your reading list this week?
Total books on the year: 173, still 7 ahead of schedule. Still chugging along on the In Death marathon, and finally closing in toward the end. I listened to 3 or 4 this past week. I don't remember if I included the book I finished last Saturday afternoon in last week's count or not. Anyway, here's my list. All by JD Robb, yada yada.
ReplyDelete173 - Connection in Death #48 - 4 stars
172 - Leverage in Death #47 - 5 stars
171 - Dark in Death #46 - 5 stars
170 - Secrets in Death #45 - 5 stars
Currently in the early stages of #49, Vendetta in Death. As NaNoWriMo starts tomorrow and I need to write at least 3K words a day for about 3 weeks, I probably won't be zipping through books. Priorities, right?
Happy reading! 📚
Happy Halloweeeeeeeen!
ReplyDeleteI found an Aunt Dimity I hadn't read. I love that series!
A couple of good mysteries, and an entertaining (and very vintage) SF. All in all, a good reading week. :-)
