The Murder of My Aunt by Richard Hull

I read and reviewed another of this author's works here. I have been enjoying these British Classics being published by Poisoned Press publications. They are my cup of tea in terms of the writing and content. I do not know if I am partial to the writing because they are a throwback to the books…

The House of Unexpected Sisters (No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency #18) by Alexander McCall Smith

As mentioned in my first book review in a while, Flaxborough Chronicles #11 #12 I am going to schedule this post to publish a little while later. I did not really intend to get to this (currently) last book published in this series. I thought I would get to it in my own sweet time in order to…

The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul (Dirk Gently #2) by Douglas Adams

I reviewed or attempted to review the previous book of the series here : Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency . I encourage you to read the first review before proceeding, in order to get an idea of what you might be heading in to this review. Now that you are back from that review I…

The Book of Dog by Lark Benobi

I got this book off NetGalley because it seemed like an absurd blurb and the reviews on Goodreads were excellent. This tale is quirky and written well and with a lot of emotion thrown in, with sly digs at a lot of the current political goings on.The story begins with a weird poem but then…

Threads of Awen: An Inspired Anthology by Awen Thornber

I am not sure why I picked this book up when I saw it available on NetGalley. It looked intriguing and I am really glad I did! I am even gladder I got a chance to read this ARC. Long, long ago when I imagined I would write someday (this blog notwithstanding). I tried to…

The Woman Who Walked in Sunshine (No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency #16) by Alexander McCall Smith

The covers of this series are so pretty.I mention that at the beginning because I have been reviewing books of this series since the second book and the fact that it is true. I do not recommend the previous book, but almost all the others ( #2,#3, #4,#5,#6,#7,#8,# 9,#10,#11,#12,#13,#14) are a treat on any odd…
