I have no earthly idea why I thought it would be a good idea to reread this book. Obviously I was under heavy medication at the time (which was probably actually true). DNF
It was okay but definitely not what I enjoy.

Finished The Fifth gospel this morning, read Booked to Die earlier in July. Go me!
I'm not sure why I read Caldwell, as I'm not religious. It was a good mystery though.

Interesting space opera where humans use artificial constructs to upload into to fight a war against aliens. Interesting concepts, mystifying aliens and weird artefacts. What's not to like.

Quite different from the series streaming on Netfix. Not sure which version I liked better. Enjoyed both.
Such a great great series, and the Apple TV adaptation is wonderful too.
Space opera with lots of battles and politics. I love the series.

Fun mystery with lots of red herrings and interesting stuff about bookscounts and bookmen!

I've been struggling with health issues. Major changes to my circumstances and getting used to things. Reading is slower given the circumstances but I still love it.
Happy July everyone.
Based on the TV show I've enjoyed greatly. Lots of colorful folks, great surroundings, and a complex mystery. I enjoyed it.
Who is who and what the heck is what? All deception and twists.

Very confusing mystery for Jury. Who is who, and who dunnit are definitely in question. Can he solve it? Maybe... Different from most of his cases.

I've been reading quite a lot of older books. Enjoying the simpler times, with mysteries that don't feature gunplay every other page.

Read by Richard Armitage which is always fun. He does a great job always.
I do get tired of the fact that Poirot only ever has any dealings with the very rich. sigh.

I thought the whole book was weakened by the main character doing something she freely admits she normally wouldn't do - go to the hen party in the first place.
Other than that, the mystery was sufficiently twisty to confuse and surprise throughout.
The setting was the strongest part of the book, and well written.

This is one of the strangest SFF books I've read in many a moon. I'm not sure what I think of it. It morphs about halfway through from a fairly straight up alt history to a sort of SFF/Sci Fi mix.
I'm glad I read it and I'll be thinking about it for awhile.
This is a re-read, well re-listen (read by Pete Bradbury). I loved the series and want to revisit the entire thing.
Just as fascinating as I remembered it.

This has taken me forever to read because I'm still having issues with my eyes. But well worth the effort. Dodos! Ridiculous puns. Books and libraries and plots and all of it.
Late but still April #Roll100 @PuddleJumper
I listened to the audiobook version read by Mark Boyett.
Definitely not my favorite Sawyer but interesting anyway. I found it a bit dry, but with lots of science and lots of imagination about where the future might lead us. I especially liked the aliens and how different from us they were.
Fun spy romp through South Africa. Irritating commentary on women and domestic abuse by heroine though.
#ReadYourKindle @CBee
A surprise! Library hold came through!
When a prominent member of the Marlow community is poisoned, the three friends are once again asked to look into the mystery and figure out whodunnit.
Fun as usual. I love his writing. He explores all the suspects and delves into the lives of his heroines too.
This is a re-read so I can read the entire series. Lots of action, interesting world creation, and smart, capable characters.
I love the use of crossword clues in this series. The characters are fun and surprising, the mystery was multilayered and hard to guess. And I adore the cover.
#Bookspin @TheAromaofBooks
I've really enjoyed book one and two of this series. When disaster strikes Earth, a bunch of geeks/nerds escape to a parallel universe and find a way to survive. Lots of action, lots of laughs.
Okay. Not as humorous or as interesting as many of her other books. Not sure I'll continue this series. But at least it is off my TBR!

Solid entry to the saga of folks who search out ancient technology to adapt it for their own use.

A German spy is hunted through England. If he succeeds in contacting his handlers, he can ruin the plans for D-Day.
I've seen an adaptation of this, but it wasn't nearly as memorable as the book has been. Well written, suspenseful, surprising, with lots of twists and turns and spy-y things going on.
An early thriller by MacInnes. Set just before WWII. Ordinary English folks spying on the Nazis.
I like Hastings so much more in the books. I wish they wouldn't make him such a charictature in the TV/movie adaptations.
#ChristieCapers @Librarybelle
I do enjoy Heyer's mysteries. Always bright and sparkling dialog and lots of humor in characterization.
Thank you for the kind comments and good wishes for my recovery from surgery. I've had a couple of set backs but am finally really beginning to see some progress. I've still got a way to go. I tire extremely easily and everything seems difficult to do, but I can see my progress so am feeling more positive.
#Roll100 #PuddleJumper
I'm finally getting back to normal after open heart surgery. Recovery is slow and frustrating, but I'm getting there.
I'd have never survived this world. Claustrophic, limited, controlled.
Frustrated love, frustrated lives. Beautifully written, but telling a decidedly unhappy tale.
#Roll100 @PuddleJumper
First time re-reading this series. I loved it all when I first read it and reread is the same. This time though I'm listening to the audiobook read impressively by Paul Boehmer
Yes, I cried again.

Such a weird book! Evan Tanner hears about some gold hidden from the Nazis in Turkey. So he plans to go find it. He uses contacts from strange groups he's been a member of to manage his quest. Nothing, of course, goes as planned. Instead he's involved in revolutions and murders and secret plans. How will he manage to survive?
