I am reading Lucinda Riley’s Seven sisters, I am in the first book. Anyone completed all 7 books? Any feedback?
I enjoy journals and diaries and historical mysteries, so I was hopeful about The Secrets of Elloughton Park by Stephen Taylor. I liked it!

Practice reading English with a good story! Canadian author Louise Penny wrote The Hangman for a Canadian literacy project. This short novella is #6.5 in the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series, written in simpler language but still with our favourite characters in Three Pines. It's an excellent choice for adults learning to read and/or learning English. Great project!

After a long hiatus, Ilona Andrews have returned to their Kinsnen series with this novella -
Fated BladesI haven't read the preceding installments which were really just short stories. There's plenty of world-building here with a Sci-fi setting instead of their usual UF.

I finished A Cornish Christmas Murder by Fiona Leitch. This is the fourth book in the Nosey Parker contemporary cozy mystery series and is set in a 13th-century abbey on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, England. t was a fun, appealing and entertaining read with a solid mystery to unravel and a fresh take on the protagonist.My 4 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

BOO! If anyone is looking for a good spooky story to share for the Halloween season, I recommend Click-Clack the Rattlebag by master storyteller Neil Gaiman. It's free to download, and there's also a YouTube video of him reading it. Details in my review.

Snow Blind by P.J. Tracy is one to read on a hot day. Bl**dy freezing weather! Still, intrepid (sometimes terrified) detectives keep braving the icy roads to hunt down killers.

Gilded and trying to wrap up
Candy Coated Murder, which was nominated for BotM by someone in this group and was meant to be my Halloween themed read.
Per publisher guidelines, I can now post my review of Wild Cowboy Wolf
by Kait Ballenger. This book delivers on escapism through attraction, friendship, family, romance, and love while also tackling serious issues including secrets, stressful situations, failure to communicate, PTSD, and selfless sacrifice for others. It is the fifth book in the Seven Range Shifters paranormal romantic suspense series.My 4 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished Her Rocky Mountain Hero
by Jennifer D. Bokal.My 3 star review of this romantic suspense novel: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am cleaning out my bookshelves and rereading some oldies before I donate them. The Sherbrooke Twins
,Lyon's Gate
byCatherine Coulter
I can now post my review of Dark Tarot
by Christine Feehan. The author brings danger, suspense, romance, and action to her latest book in the Dark paranormal romantic suspense series. My 5 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I finished a technothriller Dark Zone
by Stephen Coonts and Jim DeFelice.My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I can now post my review of Vital Lies
by Daniel Pyne. This spy thriller is the second book in the Sentro spy thriller series. This book has a clever plot with enough twists to keep a reader guessing. A memorable opening scene immediately pulls any reader into the story. One thing that detracted from the flow of the novel was the continual jumping around in time and points of view (POV) during the first half or so of the story. While POVs continued to change later, it flowed better for me.My 3 star review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
The Eighth Sister by Robert Dugoni. After appearing in the David Sloane series, Charles Jenkins gets the starring role here. My review - www.Goodreads.com/review/show/4315225867

Reed wrote: "1984 by George Orwell"A very chilling read. I read it as a teenager and still remember how I felt on reading it.
I just finished reading Truly Devious and am now a few chapters into the second book in the series: The Vanishing Stair . So far I’m loving it! The first book was very good but the beginning of the second book already seems like it might be more fast paced and exhilarating than the first, as it is starting to delve a bit deeper into the heart of the main plot.
Michael Jordan still draws crowds, although it's been a long time since we watched him play basketball. His is one of the latest stories featured in the "little people: BIG DREAMS" children's picture book series by Mª Isabel Sánchez Vegara. Great story! (not a fan of the artist this time)

Here's a good gift idea, particularly for girls you want to encourage to read. It is colourful, illustrated, bite-sized tastes of Austen, the Brontës, and others: Why She Wrote: A Graphic History of the Lives, Inspiration, and Influence Behind the Pens of Classic Women Writers by Lauren Burke.
4★ Link to my review of Why She Wrote with a couple of illustrations.
The Last Agent by Robert Dugoni - #2 in the espionage series and can be read as a standaloneMy review - www.Goodreads.com/review/show/4328188805
I can now post my review of The Mark
by Matt Brolly.The author brings plenty of suspense and some action, as well as an edginess, to the fourth book in the Detective Inspector (DI) Louise Blackwell series set in and near the seaside town of Weston-super-Mare in England. A strong, intriguing, and memorable opening scene will immediately pull many readers into the story. Overall, this was a gripping and chilling story with complex characters.

I don't always like books that win the Booker Prize, but 1987's Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively is terrific. It was even shortlisted for the Golden Booker, best in 50 years. Straight to the favourites list (or the pool room, for Aussies 😊).

I liked the kindle version so much that I ordered the paperback version. Rereading Murder in the Manor
