It's been a couple weeks since I did a wrap-up. Sorry about that. Anyway, here goes...
I snagged 5 new ebooks - all from the Amazon Top 100 free lists in either Suspense or Murder. I tried to only get books with fewer than 50 reviews and often less than 10 reviews. We'll see how that goes. I'd really like to be able to read some good, underappreciated stuff and give it 4 stars or better. No new hardcopies.
Books Read:
26) The Border Legion by Zane Grey (11/9/24) - Western - 4 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated. I've had this one for a while. In fact, it's my last unread Zane Grey. I'll have to start scouring the used bookstores again soon.
Review: "Not my favorite Zane Grey. It certainly held my attention, but there were aspects of the characters I wasn't exactly keen on. To each their own."
25) The Case of the Waylaid Wolf / The Case of the Restless Redhead by Erle Stanley Gardner (11/2/24) - Mystery - 5 stars. Neither new to me nor underappreciated (except this edition doesn't have loads of stars). I've had this since Colorado and I think I paid like $3 for the whole box of these.
No review.
DNFs:
11/11/24 - free - suspense. I tried, really I did. I made it about halfway through before I just couldn't take it anymore. Ugh, the whole 'skipping around, head-hopping, too stupid to live, WTF is going on here' killed what was a pretty good premise. =o\
Currently Reading... I'm reading this huge compendium of HG Wells works. I finished War of the Worlds yesterday and set the volume aside. Not sure when I'll get back to that. Then I started one of the new ebooks I picked up. So far, so good. I'm about 9 books short of reaching my goal for 2024. I could reach that if I tried.
