Currently reading
Stop the Presses! by Robert Goldsborough. Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin are asked for help protecting a gossip columnist by Lon Cohen of the NY Gazette.
I finished
which took me so long to read. I'm so exhausted from it that it'll take me months before I start the next book in the series.
Finished two books this week and I'm reading Farmer Boy.
I never read the Little House books, I think because I was reading adult books when I was 9 or 10. The library was just far enough that my mom had to drive me and when I ran out of books to read she would just give me one of the books she had gotten from the library for herself, so pretty quickly the children's library was for "babies", and not me.

Contracted Defense by Piper J. Drake 3-StarsPredictable Romantic-Suspense
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Kirsten & Teresa, Im going to work through as many books of hers as I can. The Under Suspicion series being "one". I've got Just Take My Heart & All Dressed in White (under suspicion #3) here now. I hope to get to at least one in October (hoping to do a thriller/mystery and/or horror (Rose Madder) next month. My first true attempt at a theme month for October). :)

I like it. It has it's moments I'm not really feeling it, but most of the time, it has my interest.
The Wedding Trap by Adrienne Bell 5-StarsRomantic-Suspense Lite and RIGHT!
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
It's a great book and it's currently FREE on Amazon!
Just finished reading Fresh Doubt by Eva Hudson. Excellent mystery/thriller.

Have read this one three times, most recently in Sept 2015 (and can I just say, it doesn't seem like it was two years ago already. Feels like I read it more recently than that, LOL). The first and third times were on my own, the second was for a college Eng course. Loved it every time!

The story opens 60 years later, in which the narrator now has grandsons who are little more than savages. Everything man-made (dwellings as well as inventions such as electricity) has been completely wiped out, domesticated animals have gone feral, and nature has reclaimed the planet. At the time of the telling, the narrator is in what used to be the San Francisco, CA area and he estimates that there are only about 400 people that they know of along the western coast of the USA. He supposes that there must be other survivors somewhere in the world, but that it could be decades, even centuries before they find out. Definitely not what I was expecting, but was still an interesting read.
Now I have switched genres again, and am reading a children's book, The Witches by Roald Dahl, in celebration of the approaching Banned Books Week (Sept 24-Sept 30). which was banned by some libraries in England because of perceived misogyny (the book's narrator says that all witches are women, there are no male witches). It has also been banned for "devaluing the life of a child," promoting witchcraft or magic, violence (children turned to mice), encouraging children to be disobedient, and language (particularly the word "slut"). While I can't say I am enjoying this one as much as I have other works by Dahl, I certainly wouldn't try to prevent someone else from reading and possibly enjoying it.

by Elly Griffiths. Excellent series with our main character Ruth, smart, independent, single mother. Well writting series start ..." love that series. I like my cozies less cozy, I think.
At my ftf bc meeting last night I highly recommended one of the selections which I had already read, In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin and it was selected. Since I had already read it, I decided to read one of the other selections instead, Trail of Tears: The Rise and Fall of the Cherokee Nation, equally long and equally weighty.

Year One. It won't be released until December, but I got hold of an ARC! Yaaaaaaay!"Lucky you! 😀
I'm listening to this audiobook right now. Really good!
Her Last Goodbye by Melinda Leigh 5-StarsExcellent story and author.
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am listening to The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins. There are 3 narrators--for Rachel, Megan and Anna. I had not read the book, and I am finding the story very interesting and well-narrated.
Just finished
. Loved it. Definitely hooked on the series now. Glad that I read this prequel first so I have a solid background in the books.

Listening to this on audiobook
Not bad.
I am reading
