The author starts this book with a disclaimer that if you are a happy person this may not be the best book for you. I am a happy person – 90% of the time – but I kept reading and I am glad I did. This compact book packs a lot in and gives you … Continue reading Happier Thinking by Lana Grace Riva

True Death (Howard County Mysteries #2) by Dale E. Lehman
This book picks up shortly after the first in the series ends. Familiar characters are back but in this book the author gives us a better understanding of Montufar & Dumas and their backgrounds. We also get a glimpse into the life of Peller and his wife. I really enjoyed the side plot of the … Continue reading True Death (Howard County Mysteries #2) by Dale E. Lehman
The Autopsy of Planet Earth by R. J. Eastwood
I had read the summary of this book and so was a little surprised at the “normal”ness of the beginning of this book. It sets up like any book until the main character, Gabriel meets the alien and the alien came from left field. I don’t want to give too much away but the … Continue reading The Autopsy of Planet Earth by R. J. Eastwood
The Sweet Scent of Murder (#2) by Susan P. Baker
This wonderful cozy is set in the first city I lived in Texas – Houston. I loved Houston (I know what you are thinking – why? But really I moved there in January when the state I left was covered in snow and it was 80 degrees in Houston. Plus I made some incredible friends … Continue reading The Sweet Scent of Murder (#2) by Susan P. Baker

In my quest to be totally honest I said yes to reading this book solely because the author asked and when I read his bio I found out we were born in the same town in New Jersey! That small world moment gave me a … Continue reading The Dark Tides (Book 2) by Mark Piggott
Talking to the Dead Guys by Gretchen Rix
I love a good cozy mystery. It’s like M & M’s to me – I can’t get enough and this book really delivered on the sweet treat! It’s been a while since I gave a 5-star review but this book earned it! What really hooked me into this book was one of the minor characters … Continue reading Talking to the Dead Guys by Gretchen Rix
Midnight to Morning by H. Glogau-Morgan
It has been a while since I felt that a book might have a decent story but was not for me. This is a long and involved book. It is not helped by the fact that the main character changes names and those she deals with have proper names that are similar and nicknames that … Continue reading Midnight to Morning by H. Glogau-Morgan
