I've recently listened to the first two Deadwood books and I love them! Her sense of humor is priceless.

Having finished The Seeress of Kell by David Eddings, have added Lady Killer by Ed McBain, book 7 of 55 in the 87th Precinct series.

[QNPoohBear]

A Feather To Fly With and sequels : a Regency romance with a slight mystery.

[Beth]

The Bookshop of Yesterdays by Amy Meyerson. A woman inherits an LA bookstore from her estranged uncle and tries to solve family secrets.

Lock Every Door by Riley Sager. An apartment sitter in an old celebrity hotel in NYC suspects sinister goings- on.

I never knew this was a book. Movie was cute.

The book was hysterical. Although it does contain some disparaging and prejudicial passages about native americans.

[BLynne]

Finished listening to Serafina and the Black Cloak. It was cute for a young adult mystery.

Newest J.D. Robb Eve Dallas book, narrated by Susan Ericksen.
Vendetta in Death is more "how do we catch 'em" than "who done it" with most series characters appearing onstage police since the book takes place in a short time period. There were offstage scenes mentioned so we get to catch up with some characters not onstage. Murders are too graphically violent for this one to be considered a cozy.
Urgent investigation leaves little time for sex but Roarke shows his love by reminding Eve to eat, providing coffee and getting her clothes ready for her so she has time to shower. I really appreciated this. It made sense. In a fantasy novel I read recently quest is paused for sex scenes while people continue to die, possibly several per day, until quest is completed.

Just starting by Jasmine Walt

[Mark]

I've got a non-cozy this week as well.

A Dangerous Man by Robert Crais

[Nell]

I started reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.

[L J]

Re-read Angels' Flight by Nalini Singh. I think I got more out of it this time after reading the later books even though most of the stories take place before the series starts.
Archangel's War comes out September 24 and I wanted to read something in the Guild Hunter world before jumping into it.

[L J]

Not cozy mystery in my point of view.
Familiar Trouble by Carolyn Haines is the first book in the Familiar Legacy series. The books are written by various authors, some I've liked, some were not my thing. This one unfortunately falls into the second category. To me it is more suspense thriller than cozy mystery. Unfortunately I am not a big fan of suspense thriller or serial killer books.
This series is spin off from earlier Fear Familiar series Haines wrote as Caroline Burnes for Harlequin Intrigue.
ETA: Since reading this I read two more in the series. Both of those books are by Rebecca Barrett and are on my cozy list, though they have a bit more romance than most cozies.

In 2018 the theme for banned books week was “Banning Books Silences Stories" and I chose to listen to Winnie-the-Pooh stories.

Currently reading You're You, Charlie Brown by Charles M. Schulz. Why didn't the publisher put page numbers in this book....argggghhhh!

[Alice]

I am reading by Sujata Massey. Excellent book, number 2 in series set in 1922 India

[Meg]

I'm listening to Big Little Lies in between reading a pair of cozies. It's very good so far.

[Gary]

My current non-cozy reads:

The Golden West by Louis L'Amour and Zane Grey and Max Brand

Go Fly a Kite, Charlie Brown by Charles M. Schulz

The Harrowing of Gwynedd by Katherine Kurtz

[Beth]

Dust by Martha Grimes. A Richard Jury I had overlooked.

[Sharon]

I recently read the new Martha Grimes Richard Jury, "The Knowledge". and it made me want to go back and reread this series as it has been a long time.
I started with "The Man With A Load Of Mischief" (1981) and am currently on "The Anodyne Necklace". So glad too, as I couldn't remember how Jury met Melrose Plant. So good.

I've got a middle grade book and a legal thriller audio book this week:

Charlie Thorne and the Last Equation by Stuart Gibbs https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

The Lincoln Lawyer by Michael Connelly https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Ramla Zareen]

I recently read Sophie Kinsella's latest publication: I Owe You One and was pleasantly surprised. 

I say this because I was a big fan of Sophie Kinsella at one time. The first five or six books of her Shopaholic series and her standalones:
—Twenties Girl
—The Undomestic Goddess
—Can You Keep a Secret? 
. . . are among my favourite romantic comedies. (Saving I've Got Your Number for later to read as a special treat. My friend assures me it's as good as the books I mentioned above :-)

But then her writing just seemed to have lost its spark. The later books of her Shopaholic series didn't appeal much, and her standalone: Wedding Night actually felt like it was written by someone else! I simply stopped reading her books altogether. 

I'm glad I picked up I Owe You One, though. It wasn't a five-star read, but I could see some of her original spark in the book. Looks like I'm going to get my favourite romcom author back after all :-)

[Beth]

Drawing Blood (A Sketch in Crime Mystery #2) by Deirdre Verne. A death in a recycling plant. It features the freegan lifestyle.

Recently been making a bit of a dent in Lord of Chaos by Robert Jordan which I am listening to on my Kindle. The Nook version which I am reading between listening sessions weighs in at slightly over 1000 pages. I just finished page 338.....along way to go.

"Hi, I did not know that Vlad was part of another series because I read the first chapter of Once Burned in the back of another book and I liked it a lot so I thought I would fine the book. What other series is he in?"

Vlad's Night Prince series is part of the Jeaniene Frost Night Huntress Universe. Vlad appears in Night Huntress books as important secondary character.

I really liked the Night Huntress series. Kat & Bones were quite the pair. Have never been able to get as interested in the spin-offs.
