LOL funny all the way through… I have been quite fond of Simon Brett’s earlier books, especially the Mrs. Pargeter series. So I was intrigued by his Blotto & Twinks series, which looked to be a little different in style – and it was – a lot. The first book in the series, Blotto, Twinks,

Not a mystery, but a book in the US Kindle Daily Deal today (June 30, 2021) that just looks interesting to me…. Empire’s Crossroads: A History of the Caribbean from Columbus to the Present Day by Carrie Gibson seems to be pretty much what the title says it is – a history of the Caribbean
The Fallen Man is the 12th in the Joe Leaphorn/Jim Chee series by Tony Hillerman. This is a great series, although I’m perhaps a little biased because my dad’s family is from the region. Still, some of the series books have won/been nominated for lots of awards, and this one has a 4.8 out of

Tuesdays at the Castle is the first in Jessica Day George’s Castle Glower series, which, although I suspect it’s really meant to be for young adults, I totally liked. It’s a fun series that still makes you think a little, and I love the ending to the book. Tuesdays is on sale for $1.99 at

Somehow, in spite of the fact that I’m a huge mystery reader, I’ve missed out until now on reading any books from the Temperance Brennan series by Kathy Reichs. This is probably because they’ve always looked kind of thriller-ish to me, and I’m just not usually all that thrilled with thrillers. However, I was recently
