That was my first, I’ll be adding more from Karin!
Oh that’s cool Stephen and Stephen I can’t remember how many of those Karin Slaughter books I’ve read
I put East Lynne back on my tbr shelf. It really is a well-written and pleasing novel, but it doesn't "feel" right. I tried to move away from my pile of cozies, and I failed. The cozies are my "right now" reading for the most part. Last night, I opened
Murder is Binding by Lorna Barrett. It feels right.
Have given up on the library books for a bit and now reading one I bought recently. The Banksia Bay Beach Shack
Only a few pages in so far. But think this one will be good. I have enjoyed one other by this author.

The Perfect Couple by Jackie Kabler after finishing the breathtaking
Find Her Alive by Lisa Regan. My spoiler free review can be found at https://sandysbookaday.wordpress.com/... and https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Sandy how are both of your books going?
I finished Guests of August by Gloria Goldreich which was predictable. Considering we have been sitting in our houses for days, a book about a summer resort should have sounded so good to read. Unfortunately sometimes a favorite author stumbles. Reluctantly gave this book a 3.

I'm envious because I've already read them all so far!! Great TV series too with wonderful chemistry between Tom Burke and Holliday Grainger.
Moving on with the Maisie Dobbs series, I am now reading the 11th book in this series, A Dangerous Place. So far it’s going rather slowly but hopefully it will pick up.

Sandy how are both of your books going?
Change of books. I began A Dangerous Place, the 11th book in the Maisie Dobbs series. But by page 50 I had no oomph to go on. I checked some reviews and some posters sad to skip this one and go on. So I put this one down and am now reading Truths I Never Told You by Kelly Rimmer. The book began well but is slowly going downhill. Oh well I wish I could find a book I could really sink my teeth into.

About to begin

Sandy how are both of your books going?
Sandy that stinks that your book was complicated and Sandy my books are going very good
For the second time in less than a week,!i decided to put down another Maisie Dobbs book. And after much opening of books last night, as I feared I was descending into the book doldrums, I began reading The Glittering Hope by Ione Grey. I hope I can read it till the last page.
Just finished Career of Evil by Robert Galbaith - I totally did not figure out THAT result! This probably explains why I’m rubbish at Cluedo.

Christine wrote: "Sandy how are both of your books going?"They were both really good thanks Christine. I am glad you liked yours too. 😷❤😍📚
Put down The Glittering Hour but found a Daniel Silva book, House of Survivors, which features Gabriel Allon in his 17th book in this series. For the most part, I really enjoyed these books and so far I read 50 pages. I do hope it’s a go.
