Book 9 in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery Series (#SeriesLove2024). Another fun escapade with Gemma and Jane, this time involving spiritualism and seances.

Probably The Iliad. From what I can find it was published in the late 1400s.
Another great question, thanks for hosting @BookmarkTavern

Great choice of topic @dabbe #TLT
1. Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin - showed the political prowess of Lincoln and how he was able to work with those he disliked/disagreed with for the good of the nation
2. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom - a tale of perseverance, love and kindness. A tale of the innate kindness in humans.
3. The Storyteller by Dave Grohl - heartwarming and insightful. Felt like being with a good friend.
1st book in the Andy Carpenter series (#SeriesLive2024). This was a bit of a wild ride. I look forward to reading more in this series. Reminds me a bit of the old McBride movies starring John Larroquette.
My March list for #readyourebooks #readyourkindle
I am joining #FabulousFebruary hosted by @Andrew65
My goals are to get through 2-3 of my many already started reads (there are way to many, I need to finish some…)
The fourth Nancy Drew book (#SeriesLove2024). Nancy really puts herself in the thick of things this time, but manages to solve the mystery.
I am enjoying slowly going through these and look forward to more.
I love Valerie, loved One Day at a Time, loved her cooking show… but this just didn‘t work. There were parts that were really engaging and parts that just felt off. Loved the recipes!
The first in the Gaslight Mystery series (#SeriesLove2024) featuring midwife Sarah Bryant and police detective Frank Malloy. Set in the gaslight era, Thompson did a great job evoking the era, it was a great first in the series. I look forward to reading more.
I‘m really bad at paying attention to what is coming out, but I am looking forward to the tagged book and Billy Dee Williams‘s book.
#SundayFunday
The first book in a new series set at a bakery/coffeehouse in the upper NW (#SeriesLove2024). This was a fun cozy mystery about Jules, who returns home after learning her husband had been keeping a secret from her. It was fun and I look forward to reading more in the series.
The second Agatha Raisin book (#SeriesLove2024). Agatha is quite the character and continues her pursuit of James. I do enjoy Agatha‘s relationship with Bill Wong. He is her friend and as direct with her as she is with everyone.
I love a good long con/heist storyline. This was fun and quick. Great narrator on the audio.
My first finish of the year (took a bit… been a slow reading start to the year)
First book in the Fox and O‘Hare series (#SeriesLove2024)
I am joining @Andrew65 for #JoyousJanuary a low key 9 day readathon.
My goals are:
🔹 Read 750 pages
🔹 Finish 2-3 books
🔹 Get my reading challenges organized for 2024
My December pick for #12Booksof2023 narrated by Patrick Stewart.
Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 This was a fun look back at my reading year.
My pick for November #12Booksof2023. My November is really for this fun light-hearted series. Olive is a high society detective in the 1920s/1930s, and these short novels are just a treat.
I am in for #serieslove2024. Here are the series that I‘m going to focus on this year.
My August pick for #12Booksof2023. This was excellent on audio!
And that‘s a wrap for 2023… squeezed in my last two books today to reach my GR goal of 71. Here‘s to a great reading year in 2024!
I think I‘ll make my Goodreads goal of 71 books (2 books left), and I completed several reading challenges. #SundayFunday
My May pick for #12Booksof2023. This was a cute start to a new series.
My April pick for #12Booksfor2023. I‘m not sure what prompted me to pick up this book, but I‘m glad I did. It was probably my favorite of the year!
My March pick for #12Booksof2023 - Three Pines is such a great setting.
My January choice for #12Booksof2023
We do Jolabokaflod (our variation on it anyway…) on Christmas Eve. Something to eat in the crockpot, holiday lights on, fake fireplace on TV, a book exchange and some solid reading time.
I am in for #DashingDecember hosted by @Andrew65
My goals are simple:
🔹 Read 700 pages
🔹 Read 2-3 books
I am in for #NovelNovember hosted by @Andrew65
My goals are:
🔹 Read 700 pages
🔹 Finish 2-3 books
🔹 Read 20-30 minutes each day
Saw this and thought you might enjoy @dabbe ! Although you probably don‘t have to worry about shoveling snow. #smilesonlitsy
Book 4 in the High Society Lady Detective series (#SeriesLove2023). This time Olive is at her Aunt and Uncle‘s home when a murder occurs. These are quick, fun books.
Book 14 in the Isabel Dalhousie series (#SeriesLove2023). Once again Isabel is asked to assist someone with their problems, and of course Isabel agrees. But this time Jamie also has a problem to solve. Will he finally understand why Isabel gets involved in these matters?
Another great installment. These are calm, insightful, philosophic novels. I‘m always happy to see a new one come out. Davina Porter narrates them to perfection.
The first in the series (#SeriesLove2023) of Charlie Harris and his Maine coon cat, Diesel. Diesel was a delight, and I wish I could take my dog all the places that Diesel was allowed. The mystery was so-so. I‘m interested to see where this series goes though. One of the first cozy mysteries I‘ve read with a male protagonist.
Still catching up on #StarWarsBuddyRead books. This is the first in the Han Solo trilogy. Although Han is probably my favorite character, this was a little underwhelming. There were some action packed scenes, but overall it was a bit slow. I‘ll continue with the trilogy to finish getting Han‘s backstory.
1st finish for October‘s #20in4 and a #SeriesLove2023 finish.
Getting ready to start #deweysreadathon #deweyoct
Here is might TBR. I only have 60 pages left in Light of the Jedi, so I‘ll finish that first.
Happy Reading everyone.
