    Iceblossom, thanks for nudge…..I will revisit A Cold Day for Murder.

    I have City of Bones by Cassandra Clare on my Libby hold. Also Forget me Not by Stacy Willingham. i’m thinking of rereading A Wrinkle in Time. Then follow with the rest of the quintet that I haven’t read.

    Has anyone read the Miss Fortune books (28 of them) by Janna DeLeon? Somewhere someone recommended them and I jotted it on a piece of paper. Also jotted down the Understudy by David Nichols.

    Boy, my books on hold/new releases are coming off hold right, left and center. And I'm sleeping a bit better, but still going through about 3 books a week. Sometimes when I'm sewing I have on music, sometimes books...

    I was 2 books behind on the "girl with the ..." series featuring LIsbeth Salander. Am caught up now with The Girl with Ice in Her Veins. Not sure I like the direction of the current author of the series. Still good for what they are, and true, Lisbeth is getting older, but she isn't quite the same... we seem to be clearing off the old characters for new.

    Steve Berry The List was a bit of a change. Same author, same narrator -- different character (no Cotton Malone)! It was an early story of the author recently finished and updated. Michael Connolly did that to me earlier this year, or at least gave me a non-Bosch universe book (with a different narrator).

    Am continuing with the Patricia Wolf (author) DS Walker series, set in Australia. Have the 4th (Nemesis) to go. Coincidentally, earlier this year hubby and I binge watched Outback Opal Hunters so I have a further understanding of the area. We enjoy this type of reality based show and found it fascinating.

    I enjoyed the Wedding Dress Sewing Circle by Jennifer Ryan. I'm not sure how "authentic" the characters were, but heck, I enjoyed the story.

    Amazon Prime offered me a free choice of books, so I chose Caleb. It said it was a cross between Dexter and John Wick. It was a fast read.

    Bread of Angels by Patti Smith. AMAZING. I read every word that woman writes. She's wonderful.

    I'm restarting Redwall, a series of children's fantasy novels by British writer Brian Jacques. I never knew of them until an adult, but love them. Plucky little creatures who are great good fun. the audio books are well done too, multi-voice.
    reading order not the same as publication order. Start with Lord Brocktree, then Maartin the Warrior, then Mossflower. I'll be starting #4 Legend of Luke next.

    I recently read The Intruder. It was pretty good. Definitely fast-paced with surprises.

    I just finished Warning Signs by Tracy Sierra. It was a good suspense novel. Story takes place on a ski trip. I didn’t think it was a murder mystery until it was.

    Just started My Husband’s Wife by Alice Feeney. To early to say.

    on hold through Libby is Tracy Sierra’s Nightwatcher, Rachel Gillig’s One dark window, and Patricia Cornwell’s Livid.
