Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 741 comments Be Gay, Do Crime: Sixteen Stories of Queer Chaos
Be Gay, Do Crime Sixteen Stories of Queer Chaos by Molly Llewellyn
This promised to be a fun anthology, but it was more tiresome. Hardly any crime and a lot of R-rated content. Might work for another reader, but not for me.

In this book Phil's career in the police is in trouble when their two worlds collide.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 741 comments When novels are failing me left, right and centre, graphic novels are turning out to be the rainbows! Absolutely loved these three:

1. Pacheco and the Witch of the Mountain: A Graphic Novel by Juan E. Zambrano
Pacheco and the Witch of the Mountain A Graphic Novel by Juan E. Zambrano
A middle-grade graphic novel with an aspiring "boy witch".

2. The Lost Sunday by Iléana Surducan
The Lost Sunday by Iléana Surducan
After a long, long time, a book earned the full five stars from me. This graphic novels is meant for kids and adults alike.

3. The Fairy Tale Fixers: Cinderella: A Graphic Novel by Deborah Underwood
The Fairy Tale Fixers Cinderella A Graphic Novel (The Fairy Tale Fixers, 1) by Deborah Underwood
This one is perfect for younger kids who love fractured fairy tales.

The Woman Who Met Herself by Laura Pearson
I like this author, but I don't think this was her best work. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

Rosh ~catching up slowly~ (roshreviews) | 741 comments Death Row by Freida McFadden
Death Row (Alibis Collection, #1) by Freida McFadden
The first story of the Alibs collection and a surprisingly good one, if you can decode the convoluted ending.

Lottie and her partner DS Mark Boyd are on holiday visiting Boyd's sister Grace and attending her wedding. Of course there is a murder nearby Lottie can't help getting involved.
