The Hallows ~ by Victor Methos
This is certainly a legal thriller – both words, by any definition. There was some need for a suspension of disbelief in places because certain actions seemed highly unlikely but …. in general I enjoyed the read. *******The Hallowsby Victor … Continue reading

A Bitter Feast ~ by Deborah Crombie
I’ve seen Crombie’s name around the mystery shelves but never read one of her books. If the one I tried is a good example, and from the Audible site’s reviews I have good reason to think it is, I’ll likely … Continue reading

Anti-Social ~ by Andrew Marantz
This is an eye-opening book, for me anyway. The author is a regular staff writer for the New Yorker specializing in technology, social media and politics. And his assignment was to write about the “alt-right” before and after the 2016 … Continue reading

A Fatal Feast ~ by Jessica Fletcher/Donald Bain
I like to read a holiday book or two at holiday time so this year I got A Fatal Feast for fiction and This Land is Their Land by Barbara Ehrenreich for nonfiction. The Ehrenreich book was outstanding and A … Continue reading

This Land Is Their Land ~ by David Silverman
Just released this year, I thought it might be a good read for Thanksgiving. And it was that, although more the reason behind “day of mourning” than gratitude. I’d read a fair amount about the real “first Thanksgiving” in the … Continue reading

Ancient Civilizations of North America ~ (Great Courses / Edwin Barnhart
I’m not really a fan of the Great Courses material but once in awhile I’ll get one which piques my interest. I’ve got 6 so far and read 5. Native Americans have interested me since college days when one of … Continue reading

The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell – (B)
Although this is a pretty good book there were times I felt as though I’d read it before. It is not terribly original and although it got plenty of great reviews I was disappointed. The plot is too complex for … Continue reading

You Can Thank Me Later ~ by Kelly Harms
Another Audible Original freebie. Short and cute although kind of a Chick-lit thing. (I do like to read holiday books around the holidays but they’re usually mysteries.) Sophie Dickenson is a single woman, a chef with a couple of married … Continue reading

Peace Like a River ~ by Leif Enger (7.5)
This book was hugely popular a few years ago (almost 20 years ago) and although I read some apparently. similar books, I never did get to this one and I remained curious. Oh well. It’s not all it’s cracked up … Continue reading

Midnight Sun ~ by James Dommek Jr.
This is an “Audible Original” and I’m not too crazy about them in general, but once in awhile a selection comes along which really works. Midnight Sun is in the True Crime genre and that piques my interest. The story … Continue reading

The Night Fire ~ by Michael Connelly
I enjoyed the last Connelly book I read, Dark Sacred Night, so much I picked up his most recent within a week. Harry Bosch, the main detective in the series for many books now (22?) is retired but keeps his … Continue reading
