Still Life by Louise Penny

This is one of those books that has been recommended to me over and over again, and I finally got around to reading it! The Chief Inspector Gamache series is often referred to as a cozy mystery, but I found it to be a bit meatier than the cozies I’m used to. That’s not a bad thing.

2016: Wicked Charms (Janet Evanovich & Phoef Sutton)

Again, not a lot here that’s different than the first book. There was a little extra treasure hunting spice here, and I think Lizzy & Diesel are growing closer. Still hate the monkey. I like this series for a quick, pleasant read, so I hope she continues the series. Other reviews: “A fabulous novel that you must try, even if it is only to see
