I actually finished this a while ago, but I’m not sure when, so I guess I will count it for June. I don’t think I really found out anything I didn’t know about my cozy taste with this one, but I did add Case of the Bleus, Dead on Target, Nine Lives and Alibis, and […]
I have been highly recommended Vicious from many different people in my life and promised a fun, friends to enemies story with some homosexual tension. Unfortunately I would have thought this was good in 2008 but have read much deeper books since then, so it flopped for me in a lot of ways. I didn’t […]
I read this on recommendation from a friend, but I’m counting it for the 52 book club challenge prompt “picked without reading the blurb”, because that is also true. I loved the characters, I loved the politics, I loved the language, I loved the POISON and ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS and the CULTURE. Absolutely an all-time favorite, […]
This was cute and cozy! I liked that her uncle was named Toad. It unfortunately wasn’t long enough for the mystery to be satisfying, but it was nice to finish such a short book. I’d continue reading the series. Three stars. No recipes.
A MIDDLE GRADE SPY NOVEL THAT READS LIKE A MOVIE? Featuring a girl in STEM? Kids who go to school for SPY ACTIVITIES? Diverse characters up the wazoo? There are set-ups and they almost always pay off. And it’s fun! It’s really really fun! This is a great start to a series, I’m excited to […]

This book is WILD and an incredible mystery. It’s set in Boston, in the Boston Public Library, with at least three different layers to it. It’s a thriller that functions as well as a mystery — ie, it doesn’t just keep you on the edge of your seat, there’s actively something to figure out as […]
Can’t Wait Wednesday is a book blogging meme hosted over at Wishful Endings. It’s to discuss and spotlight books that you’re excited about but that you haven’t read yet, to get you more excited about your TBR pile! It’s based on Waiting on Wednesday, which is hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine. I first […]
Once again I have not read the other books in this series etc etc. Personally I don’t think you need to read cozy mystery books in order, I think series in the genre of cozy mysteries are mostly a fun bonus and a way to follow your favorite authors. More of a feature rather than […]
This is a book of queer short stories; some of them I really enjoyed, some of them I felt kind of weird about. Conklin uses proses like a knife, but the sharpness of the knife depends on the short story. These aren’t like a lot of the queer lit on the marketplace now (which is […]
