Nice. When I played the Bookish Games (basically Mafia or Werewolf with a bookish slant) a few years ago one of the games was based on a Schwab series, and she came highly recommended.
ReplyDeleteHey- did you see over at the linkup for Stacking the Shelves- Marlene has a Miss Marple anthology and McManus has a story in it? Not sure if you saw that or not, or are interested...
I did not see it!! I will definitely have to check it out.
DeleteI really like the Cassidy Blake series and Eleanor is anxious to start it. I know she will love it as much as I do. I have not read any of Schwab's other work yet, though.
After a 'Nil' return last week I'm making up for it this time with 8 - plus one in the post. Nothing much that should interest you though!

Read Evelyn Hugo ASAP!! It's SO good. I was ALMOST going to say I wanted to read Tornado, but it is not about the kinds of tornados I thought it was, so you're right, I'm safe this week!
DeleteI'm curious about the Man Who Liked Books too Much....what did he do then?
ReplyDeleteWell, he wrote bad checks and stole peoples' credit card numbers to buy rare books. But you almost have to feel sorry for him, because he just wants the kind of life that would allow someone to purchase those books legally.
DeleteOooh! I want that Victoria Schwab book so badly! Great haul!

It's really good! I am going to start the series with my daughter this summer, she will love it too.
DeleteI've read several Schwab books and think she's SO creative - can't wait to pick this one up. You've sure got books from a nice variety of sources! My list: https://www.bookshelfjourneys.com/post/TBR-may-2022
ReplyDeleteFunny you say that, I have been trying to curb my acquisitions lately to get a better handle on my TBR instead but last week was a wash. So many good books! I have only read the Cassidy Blake series so far, but would like to read more of her work in the future.
DeleteI didn't find any in the Amazon First Reads this month, or last month I think. That Jack the Ripper book sounds good! I'll have to check it out! Have a great week!

Yeah, I don't have high hopes for this one, but it was the only one that was remotely interesting. I liked the Ripper book, though I don't think any book will ever top The Five by Hallie Rubenhold. We learned so much about the lives of the women in that book, and I love that she ended each section before each woman's murder, because the book was not about him at all. It really gave them their identities and voices back I feel. This book was interesting though, in that it explored other similar murders around the same time who could also have been Ripper victims. I also really appreciated its true purpose, and that was to bring late 1800s London alive and showed what citizens were doing to protect themselves and each other. The atmosphere was fantastic.
DeleteEgypt's Golden Couple looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get to it this week, I am excited for it!
Delete"Egypt's Golden Couple" looks like something I might enjoy reading. I've always been fascinated by ancient Egypt.
ReplyDeleteSame! I know so much about Tut, but not nearly as much about his parents, aside that his father was considered a heretic.
DeleteI love that gorgeous blue shade on the Egypt's Golden Couple book cover. It makes me want to get the book.
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to that one, I hope to get started this week.
