The Bands of Mourning (Mistborn #6) by Brandon Sanderson

I have read as well as reviewed a lot of the author's books on this blog. If you have the time and the inclination do check out the reviews, usually, the ones I am excited about (positively) tend to be the better-written than my other reviews, at least to me since they seem to project…

Lying Next to Me by Gregg Olsen

Narrated by: Karen Peakes, Scott Merriman, Katie Koster, P. J. Ochlan This year I have decided to be more brutal in my ratings than last year. Although this is partially unfair to the things, I am only getting to this year, with my enormous reading list, I am not enjoying everything equally. Since I have seen one form of…

Mystery on Hidden Lane (An Eve Mallow Mystery Book 1) by Clare Chase

This book is available for request until the 30th of Jan This is the first of a new cozy mystery series, and once again I had to check and see if this would be one that I could follow for a few more books ensuring a happy reading future for me. This tale begins well,…

Narrated by: Shannon McManus In this first instalment, we meet Dr Schwartzman as she prefers to be known and get…

The Telephone Box Library by Rachael Lucas

I should begin by saying the title is a misnomer. The story is not about the Telephone Box Library. The final scenes include it, and the telephone box itself features prominently in reminiscences by the older population. It actually becomes a talked-about topic only halfway into the narrative. I spent a long time waiting for…

The Story of a Goat by Perumal Murugan

I requested this book because it hit two of my ambitious targets: Male author Translated work Despite actually studying a few years of basic Tamil in school, I cannot actually read an entire book in the language. This would probably be the closest I would get to reading one. It was an interesting book but…

Will the Real Carolyn Keene Please Stand Up by Christine Keleny

I have not posted a review in more than a week, and this is probably the longest time this year that I have not done so. I am currently travelling, and I naively assumed I would be able to schedule a few posts, but as the use of the word naively suggests, I was mistaken!…
