The Beekeeper’s Ball (Bella Vista Chronicles #2) by Susan Wiggs

This was a strange version of its genre. I have recently finished a completely focused book on Italy and World War II ( Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T. Sullivan) and it seemed funny that I would randomly pick a book that was fifty percent based on the war again. This is again a second…

Closed Circles (Sandhamn #2) by Viveca Sten

This is the second in a Swedish mystery series that I had read earlier. I had read the first one ages ago and brushed up on it before starting this one. There is no such requirement though since this is a completely different story with a few recurring characters. The next in line to lead…

The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

This book would theoretically come under 'Classics' but I would not want to start a category that I may not add any more books to. In 2012 I was gifted a haul of books from the Strand in NY which I am ashamed to admit I may not have read completely. There is a certain…

At Wave’s End: A Novel by Patricia Perry Donovan

I managed to juggle two books one in digital format and another in paperback and will be reviewing both tonight. The first is this book that I got through NetGalley's website and since it's archive date was earlier than the others already on my 'to read' list I bumped it up and list and completed…

Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark T. Sullivan

This book is based on a true story and the author has labelled it under fiction only because of the lack of information that backs the story. It has been seventy years since the story occurred and there is a dearth of people still alive who could add to the tale. I am taking this…

The Tea Rose (The Tea Rose #1) by Jennifer Donnelly

I have successfully arrived at the last of my completed books to be reviewed as of now. This is a lot to post at one time but they just add fodder to the next compilation list that I release ( yes there will definitely be more 'Books vs Moods' in the future, refer to the…

Wish Me Home by Kay Bratt

This story by itself deserves 4 stars but unfortunately I am not used to the style of storytelling. The narration felt stilted at many times. I have binged on the heartfelt variety of fiction and those have set my bar too high. Apart from that basic setback the story was very good. It follows a…

Monstrous Regiment (Discworld #31) by Terry Pratchett

This was one particular book in this series ( I have not been very orderly in pursuing them) that I laughed out loud for more than once. This story has the usual Ankh-Morpork gang are in the background of this story. They are only some sort of puppet masters. The main lead of the story…
