I love this Cork O’Connor series and each book is a gift. There is the diversity of cultures, and even different tribes of Native Americans. I easily recall the natural beauty of Minnesota. Apostle’s Cove blends old and new. Cork is called by his son Stephen because he thinks a case Cork handled early in […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 Apostle’s Cove by William Kent Krueger</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@WmKentKrueger #DavidChandler @atriabooks.bsk...| Books of My Heart
You know when you get a book thinking it is going to be one thing and then it is completely different than you expected. Sometimes that is a good thing and I’ve gone on wild rides and visited crazy places enjoying the ride. Sometimes it means the book doesn’t capture my interest and keep it.

Doctor Who: Planet of Fire by Peter Grimwade Another fifth Doctor Target novel that I recall seeing at multiple WaldenBooks, but that I never added to my collection back in the day. Part of that could be that no printed … Continue reading →| Nashville Book Worm
I LOVE the Frankie Elkin series. Lisa Gardner has long been an author I have enjoyed and I am thrilled with this newer series. Here’s what I had to say in earlier reviews which gives you a foundation about Frankie: … Frankie is a recovering alcoholic with no special skills beyond tenacity and the fortitude to […]| Books of My Heart

Kindle freebie on April 15, 2023 (currently $2.99 at Amazon and Barnes and Noble as of writing this post) Audible purchase for $3.75 on December 17, 2020 Overall rating 4.20 with […]| Books of My Heart
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. I enjoyed one of the early books and decided to read the Rescue Me series.

I’ve been collecting some of the Nora Roberts audio books which are not at the library. I’m trying to fit them in now since I have lots of them now. They seems to be mostly stand alones.

I’ve really enjoyed this Skyland series. It is about three friends who developed in their adult lives but have really supported each other and shared their lives. I would read them in order because of the development of the relationships. Each could be read alone though. Chapters alternate between Hendrix and Maverick’s points of view.

I’m at a time in my reading life where YA is so hit and miss for me. I struggle with teenage drama that is exasperated by not speaking to one another and some of the other pitfalls YA seems to fall into. While the Dark Remains suffers from a few YA pitfalls, like a character […]| Books of My Heart
I wasn’t sure what to expect but I really enjoyed The Witch’s Orchard. The author is new to me and I was impressed with the small town tale with abducted girls tied into a folk tale. The paranormal aspect was very limited. I wouldn’t mind this being the start of a series. Ten years ago, […]| Books of My Heart
I’ve quickly become a fan of Allison Brennan‘s Angelhart Investigation series. I’m on track with reading the series even the novellas, which Out of the Shadows is book 1.5 with another book next month. I enjoy the family and its connections set in Phoenix Arizona. It gives me the feel somewhat of the Kincaid family, […]| Books of My Heart
Salem’s Cipher series is a re-release. I didn’t know about the older release but I enjoy this author and there is a lot of puzzle solving and treasure-hunting which appeal to me. There is also a distinct focus for women, especially those who have had their scientific discoveries usurped by men. The story begins in […]| Books of My Heart
Brynne Weaver’s The Ruinous Love Trilogy, was probably one of my biggest surprises this year. Who knew I’d fall in love with serial killers falling in love? But somehow Weaver made it work and I absolutely had a blast with a murdery and spicy series. Love & Other Killers is almost an extended epilogue to the […]| Books of My Heart
Midway through The Vacation, I was intrigued enough by the characters and situation to be tempted to use AI to determine answers about the twists to come. Alas, the audiobook is new enough that ans…| Nashville Book Worm
I needed to figure out a way to start reading series where I am not current or the series is finished but haven’t read them yet. So it’s a way to commit myself to read my backlist, particularly series. I’ve been wanting to read the DI Kim Stone for a long time. The […]| Books of My Heart
I’ve enjoyed every book I’ve read by Lynn Painter. They always seem to have very fun banter and humor. So I always want to read her books. The setting for this seems to be Omaha Nebraska with a Warren Buffet type character. Maid for Each Other is a class difference book, not that they really […]| Books of My Heart
Christian White is a new-to-me author, and I had no idea what to expect from this story. Lately, I’ve been on a thriller kick, and this one sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a try. Kimberly Leamy grew up in Australia with her mother, stepfather, and half-sister, living what she believed to be […]| Books of My Heart
King of Ashes is very much in the style I expect from this author. That doesn’t mean it is predictable, just that it tells a gritty story of what things are really like for some people. Bad people trapping others through fear and intimidation into horrible acts and situations. The Carruthers family includes the father […]| Books of My Heart
I enjoy a mystery thriller sometimes and this sort where a party on an island gets cut off and then the bodies start dropping is a standard. But the circumstances and characters make it all new. The Bachelorette Party is a group of women in a bridal party going to a retreat on an island. […]| Books of My Heart
Maggie Stiefvater has been one of my go to authors for great stories since I first listened to The Scorpio Races over a decade ago. She was one of the few YA writers I stuck with after moving on from most YA. The Listeners is her first shot at an adult novel and while much […]| Books of My Heart
Imagine a deep voice proclaiming “In a world where forty-eight aliens fell to earth Superman style, emerging from pods as children, a balance of heroes and villains has been organized. Team hero has hired a little known PR team to rebrand one of the forty-eight from terrorizing Pyro into a new Hero, The Wyvern. But […]| Books of My Heart

I’ve been collecting some of the Nora Roberts audio books which are not at the library. I knew this was the one I most wanted to hear. Since they are almost all standalone, they should be easier to fit into the reading schedule. The Search is about a woman who trains K9 dogs for search […]| Books of My Heart
A worthy, gritty task- thwarting human traffickers- and an equally challenging opportunity at romance awaits stern, disciplined Richard Mar. I settled in to enjoy this last of the series. Though The Edge series are standalone paranormal romances, there are enough ties of characters and plot connecting the books for it to read best in […]| Books of My Heart
