I am reading a really good HF book right now. Island Queen by Vanessa Riley. It starts in the Caribbean in 1761 and goes to 1824. Based on real story of Dorothy Kirwin. Strong story of slave who becomes freeman and business owner. Fascinating. Highly recommend.

A Christmas Carol. Started the print version and will listen to audiobook, hopefully by narrator I've yet to hear do it. I also have a list of other winter and holiday books including cozy mysteries.

[Mark]

Recent listened to the thriller A Dangerous Breed by Glen Erik Hamilton https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Alice]

I read an oldie but goodie. The Mask of Ra by PC Doherty. Set in 1479 BC Egypt. Mr Doherty has very grasp on history. He has many different series all are right with history and mysteries. If you have not read his books give him a try.

Sleep Well My Lady by K. Quartey

Finishing out the year with a non-cozy: Gated Prey by Lee Goldberg https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I am reading The Becoming by Nora Roberts. Book two in the series, and I love it. Set in Ireland and mystical paranormal land. Wonderfully written. Characters you really care about. I recommend this series.

[Mark]

Started the year with a relisten to the audiobook version of The Reversal by Michael Connelly https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nell]

Reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe for the 1st time.

[Mark]

That is such a fabulous book. Enjoy!

[Alice]

Anyone up for some good Romantic Suspense? Rebecca Zanetti's Anna Albertini series is very good. Set in Idaho I am on book to Bailed Out by Rebecca Zanetti. Well and fast moving. Great for cold dreary winter read.

[Mark]

Here's a historical fiction mystery I enjoyed this past week. It's very close to a cozy.

The Turncoat's Widow by Mally Becker https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Zermeena]

I finished listening to Devil's Bridge. I love this series but this book was not a success. Instead of being told from Alex's POV it was mainly from Mike's POV. The problem was that Mike's personality did not come through clearly. It was as though Feinstein would lapse and allow Alex's voice to bleed through. I can't recommend this one, but earlier books in the series are outstanding.

[Alice]

I am reading Great Circle by Maggie Shipstead. It is good so far I am about quarter way through. Some of chapters get a big bogged dialogue that is not needed but overall plot is quite interesting.

[Meg]

I'm partway through The Reading List . I'm finding it to be quite compelling.

One of the books I'm reading is The Second Sex by de Beauvoir. Only it is in two 'tomes' in French. So now I'm reading the first part. The ideas are almost very original.

[L J]

Lynsay Sands Argeneau series.
Re-reading in audio because April book Immortal Rising features couple who were younger characters in earlier books.

[QNPoohBear]

Jenn McKinlay's newest romcom Royal Valentine . Cute but should be fleshed out into a full length novel with more books and more Bath!

[Zermeena]

I'd rather she spent her time on more Cupcake Bakery and Library Lovers books :) Would love to see more in the Hat Shop series too, but I'm not holding my breath on those.

[Mark]

We've got a new Cupcake Bakery and Library Lovers mystery coming this year. And she is working on a new Hat Shop mystery to be published in 2023.

Woo hoo! Good news for all the Jenn McKinlay fans. 😃

I have started The Frangipani Tree Mystery yesterday. Love it. Set in 1936 Singapore. Ms. Yu does a great job describing the time period and the people of Singapore and how colonial rule effects the country. Only 40 pages in but really enjoy it. Will be reading more today.

I am really enjoying Fury by G.M. Ford A mystery thriller set in Seattle Washington. Lies, corruption, and murder~well written and excellent character development.

[Gretchen]

I am reading How the Penguins Saved Veronica by Hazel Prior. Only about 20 percent through but really enjoying it.

[Zermeena]

I finished listening to Unicorn Point. This series is about the overlapping worlds of Phase and Proton. This book is the ultimate battle of good vs. evil for control of the worlds.

The Miser of Mayfair by Marion Chesney (M.C. Beaton)

A novel of Regency England.
The end made me laugh out loud...twice. that NEVER happens. 🙂
It's a series. On to the next.

[Meg]

Christine, it's happened to me in the past. Fortunately not for awhile, tho.

Jaye, you brought back some memories! I loved Regencies, like Mary Balogh, Carla Kelly, and M.C. Beaton. I have a couple on the Kindle; I need to call them up.

[Meg]

I'm finishing up The Pursuit by Janet Evanovich and Lee Goldberg. It's #5 in the Fox and O'Hare series. Love these!

I've read most of her books. It's nice you shared them with your Mam...such a good memory. 🙂

Indeed! Talking about books with her (even when she was riddled with cancer) made both our days
