Only second book this month, but it's a page-turner and is good for a day off from work.

BethFishReads I really, really want to read this 7y
stillunfinished @BethFishReads It was pretty good, although I liked his Kenzie and Gennaro series better. 7y
BethFishReads Still, I've heard only good about this one 7y
stillunfinished @BethFishReads I didn't say I hated it. :) I did finish it, after all. 7y

Starting #24in48 with Walt again, but with optimism today. Yes, Walt, today, and every day, is something. We are now here "to bear our part" in this thing called life.

Third book down for #24in48, and another good one. A bit confusing on the changes in time, but otherwise good.

Writing was excellent; story, pretty good too. Not a fan of italicized flashbacks, though. First book finished for #24in48.

Ending #thankfullyreading weekend with a classic. To be honest, I don't know if I have read before in entirety. Might not finish today but definitely will begin.

The Wrong Side of Goodbye | Michael Connelly
post image
Pickpick

In the 21st book in the Harry Bosch series, Connelly has Harry juggling two cases. One is more interesting than the other, in my humble opinion, but they both were good enough for me to continue the book...and want to continue the series. It still is one of my favorite series in crime fiction, if not my favorite. First book finished for #thankfullyreading Weekend.

SuziQoregon One of these days I'll start this series 7y

A good page-turner. Worth the read. Other reviews I've seen have mentioned predictable; I guess I just don't read clues very well.

I hesitated reading this when it first came out because I didn't like the idea of somebody else writing Spenser besides Parker himself. However, after reading Atkins' Quinn Colson series, I decided to give this a second chance. I'm glad I did: a solid, though not great, Spenser outing. I probably will return to read more of Atkins' take on Spenser, but no rush.

First book since the #readathon. First book since...earlier this week. Ready to escape into fiction. Side note: I resisted this when it first came out because I was fearful of another author taking over such an iconic series. Since then, I have read Atkins and reconsidered. Fingers crossed.
