Nancy (gr-nancy-a) | 799 comments Just read Marrying the Single Dad #8 in the Harmony Valley (CA) series by Melinda Curtis.
I have read 4 of the 11 in this series. If you like unique plots, quirky characters and humor .. try this Heartwarming (Harlequin) series.
I found many of them at my local used bookstore.

Penelope | 38 comments The Zombie Ball (An Eli Marks Mystery #6) by John Gaspard The Zombie Ball by John Gaspard, in his Eli Marks Mystery series. I’ve enjoyed 5 in the 9 book series so far. MC is a magician - so unique. The tone is light, quirky, and fun. Great pick-me-up reads. I recommend the audio versions, as well. This is a mostly “Clean” series.

Right!! It's almost like an alien in Laura Griffin's body wrote the last book.

Penelope | 38 comments Bishop Takes Knight (Redclaw Origins) by McKenna Dean
I’m just beginning Bishop Takes Knight by McKenna Dean, bk#2 in her Redclaw Origins series - a light, slightly psychic, slightly paranormal series. I loved book #1 and am hoping I enjoy this one as much.

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments I like light paranormal. Post your review when you finish.

Penelope | 38 comments Better Off Wed (Annabelle Archer, #1) by Laura Durham
I just finished listening to Better Off Wed, by Laura Durham. I’m not a super Cozy mystery reader but I do enjoy mysteries: Amelia Peabody & Vicky Bliss (Eliz Peters); Detect Richard Jury (Martha Grimes); Katt Holloway/Below Stairs (Jennifer Ashley); Albert Campion (M Allingham); magician Eli Marks (John Gaspard); Inspector Roderick Alleyn (N Marsh); Veronica Speedwell (Deanna Raybourn); Lord Peter Wimsey (Dorothy Sayers); and futuristic NYPD Lt Eve Dallas/In Death (JD Robb).
Better Off Wed was a 3 Star, for me - simply too Cozy & slightly ridiculous for me to take seriously, or really enjoy. I found the chars slightly annoying. But True Cozy mystery fans, might find it very enjoyable. It appeared the main detective may become a romantic interest, possibly, in future books. The audio, itself, was well done, & enjoyable to listen to.

I love Julie James! I've read all her books. She seems to have stopped writing. Nothing new for a few years.

Penelope | 38 comments Through Uncharted Space (The Phoenix Adventures #8) by Anna Hackett
Through Uncharted Space by Anna Hackett.
I love this Space Opera Romance series. Anna’s books are steamy, so they’re not for everyone, but they manage to Pick Me Up at the end of a challenging day. The heroes/heroines always kick the Bad Guys’ butt and some days that’s what truly makes me smile.
These are not recent releases but great fun, IMO. My review:

Janeiowa | 5009 comments Rereading an author I’d forgotten. I loved her K-9 book so went back and enjoying her Blue Ridge series. Just Jenny (Blue Ridge Valley #1) by Sandra Owens Just Jenny

Sandra Owens is my kind of author; she writes like Rachel Gibson, Linda Howard, SEP used to.


message 2739: by Anita (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments Jane, I am so glad to hear that you really like Sandra Owens. I have the ARC for Keeping Guard and hope to get to it next week. If she is half as good as Rachel Gibson, Linda Howard and SEP, that will be good enough for me.


message 2740: by Janeiowa (new)

Janeiowa | 5009 comments I’m about to pay $6.99 for #2 in the Blue Ridge Valley series. I rarely will pay that much, but she deserves the $$ for how well she writes, I think. I hope you enjoy it, too.


message 2741: by Anita (last edited May 27, 2021 04:35PM) (new)

Anita (anitanodiva) | 1619 comments Any time I have to put my money down for any book, that is the highest praise. I'm lucky that I can usually get a book either as an ARC or through one of my three library systems. That said, I did just pay $8.49 for Janie Crouch Linear Tactical Boxed Set 3: Echo, Phoenix, Baby. It's a bargain at $2.83 per book and this is an awesome series.

Penelope | 38 comments Entirely different but another 5 Star read for me - Beneath the Dark Ice (Alex Hunter, #1) by Greig Beck Action/Thriller/Creature Feature Beneath the Dark Ice by Greig Beck. Good for a “Unreality” escape - similar to Jurassic Park but subterranean-spooky. 😉

Penelope | 38 comments Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews Deep Dish Deep Dish by Mary Kay Andrews IMO was a slow-to-start Cooking Romance. But I really enjoyed the last 1/2 of the book - enough to redeem it, for me. I loved the MMC & his pooch, Moonpie.
