Blue Shoes and Happiness (No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, #7) by Alexander McCall Smith

It has been a while since I touched any of my old incomplete series books. In my pursuit of appearing more profound and blog worthy, I strayed from my usual knee jerk reaction to pick light books. Now, I am back! I picked up with Precious Ramotswe (Lead lady detective) where I had left off last…

To Say Nothing of the Dog: How We Found the Bishop’s Bird Stump at Last by Connie Willis

There was something really fun about this book. As the weird title suggests, this book does not deal with the ordinary. It takes great effort ( I would imagine) to be absurd on purpose. The style reminded me of books of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams. You strain to make sure you have not misread…

Second Acts by Teri Emory

I have picking my way through a backlog of kindle unlimited books that did not come with audible narration . Having become lazy , I have let myself be lulled by the ease of good narration! I completed the second book of Inspector Hemingway which had nothing to do with the first except for the…

In the Blood (Jefferson Tayte Genealogical Mystery #1) by Steve Robinson

A few years ago I had come across an author called Rhett Macpherson whose mysteries were based on local genealogical discoveries. Bloodline causing issues years far down the line due to the secrets that they held. I had really liked the premise then, and it turns out I still do. Jefferson Tayte is a Genealogist…

The Song Remains the Same by Allison Winn Scotch

This is the last book of this author available on Kindle unlimited for now, which is slightly disappointing. The first one (In Twenty Years: A Novel – Scotch, Allison Winn) I really liked , the second ( The Theory of Opposites by Allison Winn Scotch)not so much and now this one I liked. The book…
