February 22, 2019 – April 12, 2021 This book was useful, but also kind of misleading. I went into it hoping to get a new book written, that by following its guidance and exercises that I’ll have what she said I would have- a good outline for a new book. And………. it was really helpful …

The Bird and the Sword by Amy Harmon, The Bird and the Sword Chronicles #1
April 5, 2021 – April 6, 2021 That was a very good book. A beautiful book. Like just from the start it was the type of prose that made you feel like sitting by a stream in the woods and listen. But the story! The equal parts magic and castles, all combined with a love …

Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay
April 2, 2021 – April 2, 2021 Baby killing. Like on-screen mother feeling her unborn baby’s soul be consumed by a monster. Before then it was going alright. Not great, but alright. Cool premise, could be tightened up in a couple of places, but I was going to finish. And then baby eating. This is …
Moonflower Murders by Anthony Horowitz, Susan Ryeland #2
March 13, 2021 – March 22, 2021 I really liked the first one and I was liking this one, but I had to stop when it looked like the husband did it. I don’t know why but it wasn’t something I could handle very well. I tried to look up who did it on-line, but …

Prelude to Foundation by Isaac Asimov, Prequel to Foundation #1
October 18, 2021 – March 9, 2021 ~OK quick disclaimer, it took me forever to read this because the library stole it back *glares at digitally loaned books* and then it has a wait time of 5,000 weeks.~ “Kiss me again Hari – please.” *swoon* I love this book and not just for the agonizingly …

This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone
March 2, 2021 – March 7, 2021 This book was poetry. The way each chapter was written wherever they currently were, the formate of the letters, the letters themselves- all of it a soothing blend of pure emotion wrapped in words. My husband recommended this book and like I’ve said before, he always makes sure …

Murder on Cold Street by Sherry Thomas, Lady Sherlock #5
February 21, 2021 – March 1, 2021 Yummy. That’s what these books are. I was so happy to see that the next one was available that I stopped everything else I was reading to read it. And was just as entertained as I was with all the other ones- and this was a locked room …

The Case of the Gypsy Good-Bye by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes #6
February 18, 2021 – February 21, 2021 Awww it had such a happy ending! And I LOVED how she shoved her disguises in her brother’s faces! And as for the adventure it was as fun as all the rest of the books. How wonderful to have a book not hurt and end with such hope …

The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes #5
February 17, 2021 – February 18, 2021 Ek! That was fast! Also interesting. I remember learning about Florence Nightingale from Drunk History (don’t judge!) so I had some ground work to go on – plus, you know, a basic education about the Lady with the Lamp, though I’m pretty sure we never learned about her …

The Case of the Peculiar Pink Fan by Nancy Springer, Enola Holmes #4
February 15, 2021 – February 16, 2021 Yay for that one girl showing back up! Yay to her saving Sherlock and kicking Microff in the shin! I really do have great hopes for her relationship with Sherlock, it’s a fun dynamic to watch. 😊
