2020: #38 – Still Life (Louise Penny)

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. The case that brings Gamache and his team

2017: #17 – Kane and Abel (Jeffrey Archer)

April 22, 2018 0 Comment

This is the type of epic story that I don’t think really gets written anymore. At the beginning, we meet both William Kane and Abel Rosnovski on the days of their birth.

2006: #10 – K is for Killer (Sue Grafton)

February 6, 2006January 15, 2021

Book #10 was K is for Killer, the 11th book in Sue Grafton’s Alphabet/Kinsey Millhone series. I still think she spends too much time describing settings. If I keep this pace up, I’ll hit 100 books in no time! Book count: 10 Pages in book: 307 Page count: 4,479 Words in book: 96,644 Word count:1,098,023 1,000,000 words surpassed — 2/2/06

I really liked the heart of this book. I loved April and her unapologetic geekiness, and I liked what Dade has to say about body positivity, and that she wrote a male protagonist that walks the talk. What I wasn’t expecting was just how detailed into the fanfiction subculture this was going to go. It’s one of the few times I’ve started a book and
