Trouble on the Books (Castle Bookshop Mystery #1) by Essie Lang

This book has all the right ingredients which was why I requested a chance to read it. I am no stranger to cozy mysteries although I do not read as much of it as a lot of people do. Given this combination, I should have enjoyed this book more than I did. I really liked…

The Woman who kept Everything by Jane Gilley

I have been good, and worked on my backlist (books older than three months that I received from NetGalley) and now it looks a little better than a few months ago! This is another of the books that released last year in december, and the paperback is set to release on Feb 7th.   This…

The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas

As I sit here and ponder over how best to put forward my thoughts in appropriate review fashion, I feel a lot like I felt as I wrote the Review of The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton. I think I might have been clear enough in that so I shall use that as…

The framework of the story is good and the idea of a reality with a cinderella like character based four centuries ago was interesting along with the…

The Malinovsky Papers by H. Jones

My familiarity with the Russian revolution and the heated debates surrounding the truth behind the deaths of the Tsar and his family was minimal ( like some people my introduction was through the animated movie Anastasia). I got this book via NetGalley in exchange for an unbiased review and I brushed up my history before…

All By Myself, Alone by Mary Higgins Clark

I decided to give another shot to the relatively new Mary Higgins Clark. The last one made me sad in more ways than one. I got my introduction into the genre of psychological thrillers through her books and enjoyed them when I started. The later ones(right now) do not even come close to those books.…

The Will to Power by Kata Mlek

There are a few chances when going on a random binge where I pick up books that are not right for me. This was a very highly rated book on Goodreads and I thought I would enjoy it. Unfortunately for me, I am not very fond of swearing in regular conversation ( beyond a point,…
