Who says education can't be fun? The World is Full of Nouns by Elizabeth Lareau will set them straight! Lots of colourful pictures with some nouns identified and where kids can find even more 'things'.

I finally got around to starting A Quiet Place by Seicho Matsumoto. So far so good, as a man searches for the answer as to why his young wife was found dead of a heart attack in an area of town she would not normally go to.

Recently finished Thriller book is
I did enjoy the book, but towards the end, I couldn't enjoy it anymore.
The book also contains the paranormal genre. My mistake was that I didn't check all the genres mentioned. Because Paranormal is not for me.

A Deadly Bone to Pick A Deadly Bone to Pick was a fun cozy mystery. My four star review:

Over the weekend I finished, My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones, an excellent slasher movie-inspired coming-of-age-novel. Gory in spots, but also funny. Short review here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Chainsaw is the first of a trilogy, so I'm now on to the second book, Don't Fear the Reaper.

A Mortal Terror by James R. Benn

Billy Boyle #6. 1944. The American Army is fighting it's way up the Italian peninsula. And to make things tougher apparently a serial killer is murdering American army officers. Billy is assigned the case and bumbles and stumbles his way toward solving the crimes. I like the books and I'm reading the series in order. I think this is the weakest entry so far. Confusing and disordered in execution and a great deal of the action hinges on a patently absurd coincidence. No better than OK, 2 stars.

I am stretching out my favourite Sebastian St Cyr Historical Mystery Series by C.S. Harris to try to make them last. They are the best. Why Kill the Innocent is #13, and the Frost Fair and wintry weather were as chilling as the murders. Terrific atmosphere.

The Ghost Writer by bestselling author Loreth Anne White is an entertaining short story with a good creepy atmosphere. It's another of Amazon's Original Stories.

Well, they can't all be winners, can they? Cut and Thirst by Margaret Atwood is her stab at the currently popular "cute old ladies solve crimes" genre, and it got 3 lukewarm stars from me here:

Another modestly successful read that got me thinking about how cozy mysteries are HUGE business. Every Time I Go on Vacation, Someone Dies by Catherine Mack was amusing, and seems to be very on trend:

Lonely Street by Steve Brewer

Bubba Mabry #1. Bubba is an inept private eye in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In this first entry in the series he is hired by a celebrity who everyone thinks is dead. Could his client possibly be the person he appears to be? The bodies pile up as Bubba does his best to figure out what's going on and protect his client. The story is certainly unique. I liked it, 3 stars.

I read The Hubble Cosmos: 25 Years of New Vistas in Space by David H. DeVorkin It is not a mystery, but a book of photographs taken by the Hubble space telescope. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in astronomy. My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Nancy, Co-Moderator]

Finished James, by Percival Everett. So very, very good, with Jim from Huckleberry Finn relating the story. This book should win every prize for which it might be nominated.

Also finished reading A Quiet Place by Seicho Matsumoto, which I didn't care for.
