The Colors of All the Cattle, by Alexander McCall Smith. Book 19 in the series. I find some of the regular characters in this series really annoying, but the stories are good enough. I do wish this one ended differently, but it is still ~4 stars for me. Good book, but best read in order with its series.


I gave it 5 stars. Even though it is a bit slow, still it is a very interesting take on Carmilla.

Ooo, I wanted to read this one today but my hold at the library hasn't come in yet.

I enjoyed The Favorites a lot!


It did not read like a current Freida McFadden book, but was good all the way to the end. The ending was terrible. Ruined the book. I would rate it 3 stars, but not recommend it.





I love this book so much. Read it earlier this year.

Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland

The Name of the Rosé - cozy mystery - a bit ehh, but it worked for another challenge i'm doing
Frankissstein: A Love Story - take frankinstein, make it set modern day with AI/Robots - interesting take but didn't quite live up to potential






Super short too. Perfect for a sprint.
Finished Killing Crazy Horse: The Merciless Indian Wars in America, by Bill O'Reilly. Another really good history book in this series. Accurate, well researched, and good storytelling, this time dealing with one of the uglier chapters in US history. I'm still rather impressed by this series, and am not surprised that it is popular. 5 stars.


Rereading a favorite is a great idea. I sometimes do that during this readathon, but this time I've been focusing on finishing some review copies.
