When You're Not Reading a Cozy . . .
when I'm not reading a cozy, I still read fiction. No nonfiction for me. I have to hear testimony and that is nonfiction and always dismal.
Nonfiction doesn't have to be dismal. Mary Roach writes science nonfiction that is hysterical. I laughed all the way through Packing for Mars: The Curious Science of Life in the Void
I like some non-fiction, especially pop culture bios!
For non-fiction, I like books about animals, birds and mammals primarily; traditional folklore and fairy tales (which in libraries is cataloged in a non-fiction number); sometimes political books; and books about Christianity, especially books about creation versus evolution. How-to books are useful when I want to learn about something, like computers or some kind of craft. I am not much of a fan of history books.
Adrenaline Secrets by Carolyn Reilly 3 1/2-StarsThought provoking sy-fi romantic-suspense

The Trouble with Temptation by Adrienne Bell 4-StarsWonderful romantic-suspense lite read
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I got into a challenge and found myself with
and then
which I am in the middle of reading. Now that the challenge is over, I think I'm going to continue the rest of the series to see how it all ends.
Currently reading Duke of Desire and not enjoying it very much. I'm done with this series - I should have stopped with Alf's story...
I've been reading a novel, "The Little Book." Not sure what I think about it. At times, I am grumpy about the wagging back and forth into characters' stories. The main story character becomes different ages, ends up in different periods of history and other countries. Although the characters connect through family ties, the time travel (such as it is at more than halfway) has become annoying due to zero information about why or how it happens. Trying to hang in there and finish this book now.
Touch of Red by Laura Griffin 4-StarsLatest in one of my favorite series
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Almost finished a historical fiction novel by David Penny called the Red Hill. 
It's going really well, I just need another uninterrupted 90 mins to finish!

Immortal in Death by J.D. Robb"Love these! Think the JD Robb books were some of the first 'light' mysteries I started reading.
Close to Heaven by Pamela Clare 5-StarsSweet, wonderful Christmas romance
My Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finally finished Hawaii by James A. Michener and enjoyed it. It isn't my favorite Michener book but it was good. Now I'm reading Blue Gold by Clive Cussler. I just haven't been in a cozy mood lately.

Now I'm reading Blue Gold by [author:Cliv..."I read that many years ago, it seems. I did love it though I must admit. What a blast from the past! I wonder if I could even find my old copy...
I am reading
by Steven Saylor. It is a historical mystery set in 88BC. He is one of my favorite authors
Just started reading my interlibrary loan:
The Dark Domain by Stefan Grabiński - a collection of Polish weird fiction.
Just started reading
Lie to Me by J.T. Ellison. So far it feels like a Gone Girl clone, only with better writing.
LOL! It sure wouldn't take much to be better in the writing department.

Honor Reclaimed by Tonya Burrows 5-StarsGreat story with a flawed hero.

I've been reading
Black Lamb and Grey Falcon by Rebecca West. First snow of the year yesterday in eastern Washington State!
I need a man with facial hair as a bookcover to do a challenge. I could only think of my sister's erotica books. So I am reading
, Mr. CEO by Lauren Landish. It's probably cheesy.
