    I visited my local book store today. They have a buy back program where you give them your books you’ve read and they pay you for what they give you. I dropped off some books there yesterday and went back this morning to get paid for the items I dropped off. After collecting their offer,…

  • “Mrs. Claus and the Santaland Slayings” by Liz Ireland

    I finished another one. I was trying to have this finished by Christmas Day but it looks like I’m a little late. Oh well. I was happy with this book. I always enjoy a good mystery, regardless of what time of the year it is, but this was a good holiday mystery to get into…

  • “Midwinter Murder” by Agatha Christie

    I’ve loved everything I’ve read from Agatha Christie. This book was no exception. However, this book is a collection of short stories instead of this being a book with one story in it but it did not disappoint. I loved each and every short story but I have to say the final story in this…

  • “The Sanatorium” by Sarah Pearse

    Okay, I was able to finish reading this last night so I’ll go ahead and share my thoughts. I was surprised by the end. There were so many twists and turns that I was unable to guess who the killer was. When I’m reading these kinds of novels, I like to see if I can…

    I purchased a new book today. I was interested in getting this book when I found out it was suppose to come out. I’ve read some other stuff from this author and that’s what got my attention first. The other thing that hooked me was the synopsis. It sounds really, really good… Synopsis: Brecken Hill…

  • “A Stranger in the House” by Shari Lapena

    I’ve finished another novel and wanted to share. I’ve read other things by this author before so I picked up this one. I thought I had it all figured out and that I knew who the murderer was because I could see that this person clearly had a motive. But I was thrown a curve…

  • “This Lie Will Kill You” by Chelsea Pitcher

    Well, I finished reading this book last night. It was a decent read. The book didn’t end like I thought it was going to but it was a bad ending though. It was just…..different. But the book kept a good pace throughout the book though. It didn’t take a long time to jump right into…
