The Murmur of Bees by Sofía Segovia

Translated by Simon Bruni Once in a while, I hope to stumble upon a book that surprises me at different stages of its reading making sure I am paying attention to the fact that it is not exactly going the way I thought it would. At such times, I also hope to enjoy the experience…

The Egyptian Antiquities Murder (High Society Lady Detective #3) by Sara Rosett

I reviewed the previous two books of the series here: I am still surprised that as of writing this review, there are still less than 500 ratings on these books. Considering how much I enjoyed the two (do check out the individual reviews when you click on the cover page), and the number of Cozy…

Winternight Trilogy by Katherine Arden

There is a story behind my finally getting my hands on the series and if you bear with me I will try to be as concise as possible (not too concise since that might be boring). I first noticed the second book of the series when I started blogging, it was an advance copy I…
