A feel good story. Very sweet.

This is one of those children's picture books that adults can fall in love with. Amazing original artwork. A fun story of a young man struggling to find his life dream, while lured by the offer of wealth.

A page-turner of a thriller against the backdrop of luxury yachts.

I feel like I'm visiting old friends when I return to the repurposing shop. Another fun, fast read in the series! Keep them coming!

I finished Stone & Tide. While it has an open ending, with a promise of further adventure in the next installment, this second book in the series had a satisfying ending. The characters make personal progress. A crisis is looming!

A satisfying comfort read.

A fun, light mystery with twisty clues leading to a happy ending.

I set this aside for quite a while. Digging back in, and being captivated by history of the American Revolution. Part two of a three book set.

Fun characters and a twisty action-packed plot make this modern day Wyoming PI tale worth reading!

Another thrilling entry in the series. Talking cats, a tricky mystery, and just a touch of romance.

Squashed is another appetizing entry in the Snack-Sized Mystery series by Jeff Schmoyer. If you haven't read any of these addictive short mysteries, start with Smoked. There's a fun character arc starting with book one you'll want to follow. Food, and a mystery to solve. It's the complete meal deal.

I received this book free at Left Coast Crime 2025. It's way deep into an existing series, but I didn't have trouble getting into the characters and story. An enjoyable wilderness adventure, I now want to go back to the first book in the series.

A fun series. I love the chickens.

Bunker Hill presents the history leading up to the Declaration of Independence. Philbrick creates a very human story of flawed people and moments of heroism. I didn't think focusing on Bunker Hill and the siege of Boston could carry an entire book, but found myself wanting even more of the story by the end.

As a former vegan and sort-of vegetarian, I found this book challenging and informative.

Have you discovered the snack-sized mysteries? If not, you're missing an appetizing treat. In book three, Murph goes on a cruise. Expect lots of food descriptions, and a murder. I recommend starting with book one. You could hop in anywhere in the series, but for the most fun, get them all and read in order.

I enjoyed this well-written Valentine's Day themed story.
