Hello again. Not the most exciting of reading weeks, but reading was accomplished and DNFs happened, so here we are.
No new books this week.
Books Read:
24) The Face in the Water by Kathleen Pennell (6/8/25) - mystery*# - 5 stars. New to me and underappreciated. Snagged this one for free off Amazon's top 100 free Murder list.
Review: "A fun combination of gritty suspense and cozy mystery! I really enjoyed reading it."
DNFs:
6/11/25 - 25c mystery. I just couldn't get into it. Of course, it didn't help that the cover fell off when I started, but that's the risk you take when you buy used books. I'll repair it and then take it back to a thrift store.
6/10/25 - 25c SF. It wasn't bad, per se, but I just wasn't in the mood for a story with thinly veiled leftist politics. Eh, I'm never really in the mood for that. Back to the thrift store this one goes.
Currently reading... a Dick Francis paperback. It's different from the other Dick Francis novels I've read, but it's still pretty awesome. (Yes, it still has a tie-in to horse racing.)
What have you been reading lately?
I finally finished the fantasy and the paranormal romance I was listening to more or less simultaneously. I alternated between the two when I'd get distracted. I'm still like 15 books behind, but I have managed 51 so far.
ReplyDelete51. Untamed Fate, Veronica Douglas, ParaRom unknown to me. 3 stars

About to finish People in Glass Houses by Jayne Castle, then will start It Takes a Psychic, also by Jayne.
Good reading!
