NonFiction November 2022 Week 4: Worldview Changers

This is my entry for the fourth week of Nonfiction November. Please link back to Rebekah @ She Seeks NonFiction if you are participating this week. After all the previous prompts, I was not left with much for this one. I think this was one that helped cement my understanding of the world of Palm…

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…

August 2021 Books Vs Moods

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…

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…

Once…

To get my reviewing mojo back, I wrote most of this and the next review by hand and then sat down to put it on the blog. I hope this helps shake off the stillness that has enveloped the blog and breathe some much-needed life into it. When people spoke of the lack of blogging…

Mid Year Stats 2020

I have been extremely dull when it comes to sitting down and writing reviews. This has once again led to a whole set of reviews pending and this time, I am not even making an effort to get them down on paper. One of the reasons was the realization that I was not prepped at…

The Case of the Constant Suicides (Dr. Gideon Fell #13) by John Dickson Carr

I have read and reviewed two other books by this author recently (looks like I am on a bit of a binge!)   Although our library's online catalogue is not as vast as I would want it to be when it comes to old authors (they are pretty up to date on current trends), I…
