The Colors of All the Cattle (No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency #19) by Alexander McCall Smith

            This is the most prolific series that I have followed. My library seems to be as big a fan of the series as I happen to be (or whoever triggers these purchases). Each of these titles leads back to my old reviews, and the most adventurous of visitors to my blog might venture to…

The Winemaker’s Secret (Starlight Cove #2) by Cynthia Ellingsen

Narrator: Kate Rudd This is my review of the last book in the starlight cove series: The Lighthouse Keeper . On reading that review I realised that for once, I really accurately depicted what I thought of the book. It is a pretty nice review if I do say so myself(I have to! because I did actually…

Five Minutes at Hotel Stormcove – An Anthology

The book is still up for requesting as of 5/5/2019 I usually do not read many short story collections of any sort, mostly because I am more accustomed to longer sagas spanning a longer period of time. It gives me time to sink in and familiarize myself with the people. That said, I think that…

The Department of Sensitive Crimes (Detective Varg #1) by Alexander McCall Smith

I am a big fan of the author and his unique take on people and their relationships. That said, this new series based in Sweden is not off to a very great start. The main character is Ulf Vargas and although he is an interesting enough character I found some of the relationships he has…

Mathematical Mysteries 1 &2 by Jonathan Pinnock

It has been a while since I had this book on my virtual shelves and although I found the writing entertaining, something always seemed to come in the way and I did not get around to reading it last year. This year though, I found out that the second book was releasing and thought of…

The Return of Mr Campion: Uncollected Stories by Margery Allingham

This is a slight misnomer since Mr. Campion and his creator are but a part of the stories included in this collection. I was delighted with my first international physical ARC. I was excited to be given an opportunity to read it and this in no way effected my review, which is completely based on…

The Umbrella Men by Keith Carter

I do not know what drew me to this book in the first place, but I am really glad something did. If one reads as many books as I do in the time that I have, a pattern emerges. This relates to the type of books and stories that become some sort of standard. This…

The Fifteen Wonders of Daniel Green by Erica Boyce

I am back!! Did you notice I was missing in action? I was still reading other people's posts and liking them but I was neither reading nor writing rough drafts of my reviews in my head for the entirety of the last week. My parents and grandmother dropped by for a flying visit of six…
