Yet another week where my eyes were bigger than the amount of reading time I’ll have available. But I just couldn’t resist. Or had other reasons that made resistance not an option.
I’m really curious about The Awkward Squad. It sounds a lot like one of my favorite British TV mysteries, New Tricks. Speaking of TV shows, the first Ravi PI mystery, Her Nightly Embrace, read very much like episodes of the TV series, even though that seems to still be in development. But the first one was fun, so I’m willing to give the second a go.
For Review:
The Awkward Squad (Anne Capestan #1) by Sophie Henaff
Chicago by David Mamet

The Second Coming of the KKK by Linda Gordon
Smile by Roddy Doyle
Start Without Me by Joshua Max Feldman
Stranger Magics by Ash Fitzsimmons
I have put myself on a bit of a ban because my TBR pile has gotten a teensy bit out of control. Time to get caught up lol. Great list! I hope you enjoy them!
I’m so tempted by that whole Mercedes Lackey series — I just love the idea and some of the covers, haha. Hope you enjoy all these!
My brain is fried and not currently capable of non-work-related deep thought, so I can’t even bring myself to check out some of the more challenging selections here. 🙂 That said, I’m really tempted by The End of the World Running Club. I put it on my wish list. And I hope you do read/review the Lackey book. I’ve been underwhelmed by the Elemental Masters books that I have read, but a Sherlock Holmes-inspired one might have promise.
I’ve read a few of the Elemental Masters, here and there, but definitely not all of them. But I’m always up for any variation of Holmes, so I’m VERY curious about this one…

I still am not an e-reader! I have 2 Kindles and 1 Kobo plus my iPad, and I still prefer to buy traditional books. There are worse addictions! Enjoy all your goodies!
Compared to booze, drugs or gambling, books are a safe and cheap addiction. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself, too.
