Busy, busy Sunday. A quick post.....Reading is a great relief, respite. Thank heavens for the library!
Just finished another great read by Louise Penny that kept me up late into the night and had me finishing up early this morning! Took a few days to finish it in between my chores! Interestingly, it has a few elements of magic and the mystical, which added more intrigue to the crime novel, which it basically is. The 10th in the mystery series.
One of the books I got at the library, I have another to read that will be lighter reading and getting ready for the Christmas mood.
I enjoy humorous mystery novels too, and Donna Andrews writes these!
In my mailbox last week?
I read this ARC,
I Take You, as soon as I got it from the publisher.
My comments:Outrageous, funny, very entertaining women's fiction. I might add that some scenes are over the top, but I didn't seem to mind.
What books are on your reading shelf this week?
Combining some magic and mystical with crime sounds very original. Too me originality is so important when. I look for a book. Thus this sounds interesting.
ReplyDeletelistened recently to vol 1 by Louise Penny, loved it. planning to listen to them all

I read The Cinderella Murder and quite enjoyed it. I haven't heard of Louise Penny though - must check her out.

These all look good! I have a Louise Penny book on Sparky that needs attention...and also one from MHC....but not The Cinderella Murder. Must add that one! LOL
ReplyDeleteHere are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
I love Donna Andrews books, I am behind in books though. I love Christmas cozy mysteries!!
ReplyDeleteThe Nightingale Before Christmas looks fun, and I like that cover too. So many of the Christmas reads have fun, festive cover.
ReplyDeleteGreat covers. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWonderful mailbox list. I recently listened to the first in the Louise Penny series - loved it and so happy to know there are many to follow.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy Louise Penny's books.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear this one was as good as all of her books. I wish I lived in Three Pines. :)

Like the sound of the Louise Penny book. Will be keeping a look out for your thoughts on this one.
ReplyDeleteI have got to read the Louise Penny books.
ReplyDeleteHi Harvee,
ReplyDelete'The Cinderella Murder' is already on my 'Want To Read' list, after a fellow blogger recommended it to me, although I already enjoy the writing of Mary Higgins Clark, so it sure to have appeared on my radar at some point!
I have a couple of the Louise Penny books on my shelves, returned to me by my dad, who couldn't get on with them at all. They seem to be a random selection from the series, so can anyone tell me whether they work as stand alones, or do I need to get hold of all the missing numbers and read the series in sequence?
Thanks for sharing,
Yvonne
I think the crime/mystery in each novel is complete and the book can be read alone.
