I couldn‘t finish this one. It‘s about a group of older people who try to do crime to prove they‘re smart, but they‘re just written as being so silly that I can‘t follow it. I think it‘s just not for me.

I was annoyed by the lead for most of the book. His obsession with the killer and how he seemed to have no accountability to any of the other patients at the asylum irritated me. I was curious about the story enough to stick with it, but overall I‘d give it a so-so.

This was super cute! At first I was a little annoyed by the lead, but he grew on me as the book progressed. A fun light read!

I enjoyed this one a lot! It was smart and moved quickly. There was a good mystery and I enjoyed how the relationship between the lead and the cop developed. Will definitely pick up the next one!

This was a cute follow-up to Kill the Farmboy! The puns were plentiful and the little band of characters were cute. It was a lot of fun!

I really wanted to like this one, a murder mystery set in a Taipei market. But I got 45% in and still hadn‘t gotten to the mystery- just a lot of description about the Taipei market, and the lead‘s love of the band Joy Division. Moving on to other things now..

I have very mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, I did not connect to the more spiritual elements of the book, that‘s not how my brain works. On the other hand, I did like the method of going through all you have in a category, like clothes, at once in one big day of sorting. I usually don‘t clear out clutter like that and it sounded like a good idea.

I just could not get through this one, it felt like it was way over my head the whole time. I liked the idea in theory, but only got about 30% through before giving up, I just couldn‘t follow what was happening.

I totally get the comparisons to Bridget Jones, but this one felt much deeper to me. It covers some really serious topics, but still keeps things light enough that you can get through the tough bits. Definitely recommend this one!

Loved this one! Very short, it only took me about 1.5 hours to read. The story of a woman who travels up to the US to find her brother. Beautifully written!

I really like this sequel! You definitely have to read The Awkward Squad first, she does not reintroduce the characters in this one and it took me a bit to remember everyone. A good mystery that goes into the lead detective‘s history.

I really like the idea of downsizing, the older I get the less stuff I need. The author spent a year not buying new things other than groceries and toiletries. It was interesting to follow her journey.

This was a fun easy read, I really enjoy the cast of characters- this murder was a little unbelievable, but still a fun read.

I read through this one really fast! It was much more graphic in its descriptions of the murders than I was expecting. Also definitely trigger warnings for sexual assault.

This was a fun light read, I really liked some of the dialogue between the two leads.

A fun adventure with 3 independent women! I read through this one quickly!

This book was horrible to read but so well done! Those poor people! I used to drive by Donner pass almost every weekend for a couple of years. I can‘t believe something so horrible happened in such a beautiful place. All the trigger warnings for many terrible things.

This was a really creepy thriller, I felt like I never knew what was true!

Fun light romance- I love how all of the characters in this series show up in each of the novels. It gives you hints at how each of the other books characters develop. This was a cute enemy to love story.

A fun somewhat locked room mystery with a group of old friends getting together at an isolated hunting lodge for New Years. One ends up dead, and you flip back in forth in time and perspective to learn what happened. A few parts were predictable, but overall a fun read!

Loved this one! A place where lying is against the law and there is a team of detectives who can detect lies. So interesting and well done, highly recommend!

Another fun addition to the MurderBot diaries. This series is quick and funny, I look forward to the next one.

This was so well written! I generally hate reading about despicable people, but the changing narrators made this one an interesting read. It also fulfills my ☘️ Irish author for the #Booked2019 challenge!

A good mystery, I kind of figured it out, but it was really well done. I enjoyed the wintery atmosphere and I liked the lead. I do wish there had been a strong female lead too.

A little slow to start, especially if you don‘t know Mythology very well. As the story moved along, I was more and more drawn in- I whipped through the last third of the book. At the back of the kindle edition is a description of each of the gods/mythological creatures- I almost wish I‘d read that fist. Overall a very interesting story with a strong female lead.

A cute friends to lovers romance. A really nice break after some of the heavier books I‘ve been reading lately!

This was a fun sequel to The Bear and the Nightingale. You can‘t help but root for the main character Vasya to win against all odds. I look forward to the third which is out now!

Part 1 of this book was great, the true story of two idealistic couples that end up on an isolated atoll at the same time and only one couple leaves the island. Then you hit Part 2- written by one of the defense attorneys. This portion is way too long and self-congratulatory. I recommend reading the first part and skipping the second part- you can look everything up on the internet to see the results of the court cases!

This was so much fun!! It‘s short, directly to the story but manages to convey enough of the world building for everything to make sense. Plus, it‘s funny! Highly recommend if you want a quick fun read! I look forward to reading the next one.

This was fun, your rooting for robbers and thieves the whole time! I think it probably could have been at least 100 pages shorter and I wish there had been a good female lead as well. The world-building and capers were great! However, Adam West was less impressed judging by his expression!

I enjoyed this mystery set in an art museum in LA. On the night of her grand opening, the artist goes missing. Told from the point of view of a museum employee, whose personal history sometimes colors her ideas on what happened. There are also some interesting commentary on being a single career oriented woman.

Still love this series! Werewolves! Vampires! Ghosts! Strange mechanical devices! So much fun, looking forward to the next one!

I was interested enough to finish, but didn‘t really like any of the characters. They are supposed to be so smart and they are continually just so stupid! I wasn‘t a fan of the ending either.

This was a cute YA romance! Very light and easy read!

I always love Louise Penny books, her cast of characters and the imagery of the small town is wonderful. I liked this mystery too, though I had figured it out part way through so it was a bit less thrilling for me. Also, for this one I would recommend reading the previous book first as there is some story lines that carry through. Overall still a fun read!

Another great installment in this series! I love the main cast of characters and the mystery was really good too. I hope there are more to come in this series!

Loved this one! It felt like reading a fairytale, though much of the magic felt like it was just behind the scenes. I cared about the characters and was rooting for them (except the villains of course!).

This was a pretty good locked room mystery. I agree with previous reviewers that the end wrapped up a bit too quickly, but the ride until that point was fun!

The third in the Will Rees series, I liked this one better than the second. A murder mystery set after the war for independence, I did not guess the culprit, which was fun. I also liked that she brought back a character from the first book.

I thought the descriptions of OCD in this book were really well done. The premise/mystery was a bit hard to believe, but I found the characters engaging enough to carry the book through. Well, except the boyfriend, he was a drip....

This was a really cute romance! I love how the leading lady was true to herself throughout the book. She never felt bad about being herself and never thought to change herself to fit in.

1. Reorganize my TBR- I‘m kind of afraid to see how many I have. 😳
2. Housecleaning!! (And reading of course!)
3. My Mom‘s sugar cookies! 🍪
4. Cradle to Grave (Will Reese #3)
5. Tag!! You‘re it!

This was fun! I loved how quick the chapters read, but you still got an in depth character in the lead. I found myself really rooting for her!

Post-apocalyptic story about a group of people living on a ship hundreds years after it left earth. The social system based on what level of the ship you live on. Loved this one, a bit of a mystery, and an underdog fighting to make things better. Highly recommend!

I tried really hard to like this one, I usually love her books. I got about 25% in and just didn‘t care about the characters....

I love this series for her descriptions of different national parks. This one had a good mystery, the pieces were all there, but the red herrings threw me off.

Chimeric siblings living in one body, working as a private eyes. This was very unconventional and funny, a good read if you want something goofy and light!

This was a cute second in the Noodle Shop mystery series. I really like the community of people she building in the series, and the slow burn romance is cute too. A fun light mystery!

Wow, not sure what I think about this one- a trippy cross between horror and a fairytale. I would go back and read it again if my TBR list wasn‘t so long- I feel like I missed things.

This was a pretty good murder mystery, but I am a bit tired of the alcoholic unreliable narrator. I actually would really love to have read this with another character - the murder unit lead as the main narrator-she seems much more interesting! There were a few twists that kept my interest so, overall a pic!
