Martha Wells is a great writer, I enjoyed her Murderbot series and have tried a few of her fantasies. While they don’t seem to hold the same magic for me, they are well written and will scratch the itch of most readers. Queen Demon, the second book of The Rising World series picks up not […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 Queen Demon by Martha Wells</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@marthawells.com @EricMok97 @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #LoveAudiobooks @RobinBridge...| Books of My Heart
I have read all four series by J.A. Jance for a long time. I always recommend to read series in order. I love all the series because they are smart, compassionate and fun. The Girl From Devil’s Lake is in the Joanna Brady series. I have read every one of them. I find it the […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The Girl From Devil’s Lake by JA Jance</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@JAJance @hillaryoutloud @htpbooks.bsky.social @wmmorrowbooks.bsky.social @h...| Books of My Heart
I consider Karen Marie Moning, referred to by fans as KMM, is Urban Fantasy royalty. She’s the author of what I often think was my first favorite series in the genre, and I hold Fever as a sort of benchmark when I read any subsequent urban fantasy series. The House at Watch Hill, her latest […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The House at Watch Hill by Karen Marie Moning</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@karenmariemoning.bsky.social #AmandaLeighCobb @timcampbellvo.b...| Books of My Heart
I’m a big fan of Ann Cleeves. But my view of her work is unusual. I started with the Two Rivers series featuring Matthew Venn. Those were all ebooks except for an audio listen of a novella. I started Shetland on audio but only read one book. Then we watched both Vera and Shetland on […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The Killing Stones by Ann Cleeves</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@anncleeves.bsky.social @kennyblyth.bsky.social @macmillanaudio.bsky.social #Lo...| Books of My Heart
The Librarians is different than some of the other work by Sherry Thomas, and yet some things are consistent. I haven’t read all her work, but what I have read and loved is historical and this is contemporary. We also get a murder mystery and detailed world and character building. For a small group, these […] The post <span class="entry-title-primary">🎧 The Librarians by Sherry Thomas</span> <span class="entry-subtitle">@sherrythomas.com #LouisaZhu @berkleypub.bsky.social @penguina...| Books of My Heart
What would you do when one of your favorite authors starts a new series in a genre you normally eschew? I became a huge fan of Elly Griffiths after reading her Ruth Galloway series. I’ve yet to be disappointed with her creative angles on the mystery genre. However, when I checked out The Frozen People […]| Books of My Heart
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’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
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
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
