My last post for this meme was: #FlashBackFriday May 2021. I take a look at the posts I made this month last year. It helps me look forward to the month this year! Last May was quite fulfilling on retrospection, both reading and reviewing, quality and quantity-wise. It is hosted every month by Kerry @Chat About… Continue reading #FlashBackFriday June 2021

Celebrations at the Chateau by Jo Thomas
I have read quite a few of the books with the storyline in this one. One or two more reviews are still to be written. Despite that fact, I enjoy the tale's unfolding for differing reasons. In this review (obviously), I will discuss why this story worked for me.The first part of the story begins… Continue reading Celebrations at the Chateau by Jo Thomas
At Night to Die by Henrietta Hamilton (A Sally and Johnny Heldar Mystery)
I have read and reviewed the previous books in the series I read one or two books of this series out of order, but I think with this one we have reached the appropriate timeline. Although this book does not have any connection to the previous (apart from the Heldars themselves), I would still recommend… Continue reading At Night to Die by Henrietta Hamilton (A Sally and Johnny Heldar Mystery)
Olga Dies Dreaming by Xóchitl González
I almost gave up on this book a couple of times. It is primarily because of the language used. There is a lot of cursing, which always puts me off. It might be a natural mode of communication among people now, but it distracted me from the ongoing story. It also did not make me… Continue reading Olga Dies Dreaming by Xóchitl González
The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman

I am not talking of the writing, which was action-packed - but of the conversations/swearing between everyone in the narrative.I understand the world is a very rough one, harking back to a more openly war… Continue reading The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue #1) by Christopher Buehlman

My last compilation past was: July 2021 Books Vs Moods. This is my regular monthly list where I list the books I liked of the ones I reviewed in the month and match them with the best mood they can be appreciated in. This was a great month, both in terms of making a dent in… Continue reading August 2021 Books Vs Moods
July 2021 Books Vs Moods
I did not stick with my plan for July, but on the whole it went better than I expected in terms of posting (which is very revealing!). My post for the last month was: June 2021 Books Vs Moods. I once again have to warn that I have a ton of reviews to go which I… Continue reading July 2021 Books Vs Moods
The Poker Players by Edward A. Dreyfus
This is yet another book that I took my own time getting round to. I do not know what part of the blurb tempted me to request because it had a very different storyline than my usual reads.A group of septuagenarians have been playing poker for decades and managed to refrain from personal conversations. Once… Continue reading The Poker Players by Edward A. Dreyfus
