Jennifer (jhaltenburger) | 1166 comments Erica, I'm picking West with Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge , which I read recently and loved, and Boy Swallows Universe by Trent Dalton because I can't resist the title.

For your "GR choice mystery" I'm picking Killers of a Certain Age by Deanna Raybourn - what a hoot!

Hey Penumbra -
For you I pick Mr. Mustachio Is Falsely Accused (The Mr. Mustachio Murders #1) by Dawn MacKinnon because it looks so fun (something I might have to read) and as a bonus Nothing to Lose by E.M. Lindsey because it looks like a set up for some really great drama. Enjoy!

Jammin Jenny (jamminjenny) | 1078 comments Hi KathyD

Sorry I am late in making picks. I've had a lot of family emergencies last week:

I pick for you Dark Witch (The Cousins O'Dwyer Trilogy, #1) by Nora Roberts - I haven't read it but I love Nora Roberts.

For your bonus I pick: Thank You for Listening by Julia Whelan

Gabe (Hell Squad, #3) by Anna Hackett
3.5 stars, really enjoyed once the MC got over himself…glad to get back to this series

Cloudy with a Chance of Witchcraft (Grimm Cove, #1) by Mandy M. Roth
DNF - felt like a rough draft and most of the characters felt younger than portrayed (not in a good way)

Paths (The Killers, #2) by Brynne Asher
DNF - didn’t care for or about the characters…

Mr. Mustachio Is Falsely Accused (The Mr. Mustachio Murders #1) by Dawn MacKinnon
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I enjoyed this tremendously. It's a fast, fun, and fluffy M/M cozy mystery. Great cast of characters, with a secondary mystery of, 'who or what, is Mr. Mustachio?'

Nothing to Lose by E.M. Lindsey
Rating: 4 Stars
Review: Not written yet. The holidays always have me running behind >.<
I thought the author did a great job about tackling the emotional and physical aspects of characters with disabilities. I recommend this book.
