The Mitford Murders (Mitford Murders #1) by Jessica Fellowes

In order to re-enter the zone of writing actual content on the blog which I would like to read a few years on, I set down actual pen to paper. I hoped this action would stimulate that which has been missing and I might (once again) attempt to kick start my old processes. Since I…

The Chile Pepper in China by Brian R.Dott

If I look back about what tempted me to pick this title up was the randomness of the topic. The content stayed true to the title, this book is all about the documented rise and alteration of Chiles' use in China through centuries. It is not often that one finds access to a book on…

The Stranger Times by C.K. McDonnell

Of late, I have been having some luck with wacky stories. This format includes a contemporary setup, with fantastical creatures leaking into the story when you least expect it. This was no exception. The conversations' randomness was dialled down a little compared to others of this ilk, and people tried to keep their cool even…

Saddled with Murder (Dr. Kate Vet Mysteries #1) by Eileen Brady

I saw this book was the first in a 'new' series and looked no further than that, but I should have. This character appears in other series' based on the location. Although the characters were well rounded, and we got a lot of the backstory, it still felt like I was dropping in unannounced to…

A Will to Kill by RV Raman

I chose to read this book because I read woefully few books based in my home country and even fewer written by an Indian. It seemed like a good place to make up for the lost time.This is a decent start to a series. We meet an already renowned detective who is asked down to…

The Forgetting Flower by Karen Hugg

I am working my way through books I picked up and did not read till the end of last year. This is one such book. The first thing I should mention that the second attempt went much quicker than the first. I was more involved in the chaos unfolding within the pages. We have our…

Fracture by Andrés Neuman

I have been sitting on this book and then the review for a while. I must start off by saying that the book was not for me, but I worked my way to the end. This last part means I should talk about what I liked and disliked, unlike a book that I did not…

Boop and Eve’s Road Trip by Mary Helen Sheriff

Uplit comes in many forms. When a road trip is mentioned, it definitely snags my attention. There is so much fodder available in the context of a long journey with just a single individual for company. However, the majority of this story dealt with severe issues and complicated family ties that went beyond the scope…
