I'm interested in the Dresden one!
DeleteI actually thought you'd be more interested in the Women Travellers...
DeleteI actually missed it completely when I saw 'Dresden'. Yes, both please! :)
DeleteI like a good light hearted mystery once in a while to dispel some of the heaviness going on. Looks like worthy read all.
ReplyDeleteMercy Watts is perfect for that! It's a fun series with quirky characters but none that are like, forced into that quirkiness. Like, it does not distract from the story or seem like the author is trying to hard. It is the only cozy mystery series I have continued reading. Ever.
DeleteI haven't read a cozy in sooo long... I was enjoying the Country Club series by Julie Mulhern (set in Kansas City in the 70's) bit I got behind...
DeleteBack in I think 2016, I got super behind on my Goodreads goal for the year so I started snagging all the free cozies I found on Amazon via BookBub. I ended up being like, ten books shot maybe, and I read all the way up until 11:59 PM. That's how I discovered Mercy - and I HATED the first book because she takes a trip to Lincoln to visit the University of Nebraska for a case and it was just all wrong and annoyed me. But I was kind of into her not-cousin Chuck, who is a police detective, so I kept reading. I am glad I did because the rest of the series has been great. And the first book is probably better than I give it credit for but still, at least know the city you're talking about before writing about it. There is no Denny's in Lincoln. (There are other things too, I'm not THAT picky. Except I am, but whatever.)
DeleteJonathon Swift: His Life and His World... Leo Damrosch... i'm almost finished with it: enlightening and informative...
ReplyDeleteI imagine so!
DeleteNothing new in this week. Reading is going great though!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear! Our entire library system was closed last week to prepare for the re-opening of a few branches this week, so I will probably have very few, if any.
Deletewe had hurricane sally come through and just got power back, so not much else to talk about

Oh no! Are you otherwise safe/secure?
DeleteSo many good books available for reading. I did add several to my Kindle queue this week. I struggle to keep up with my reading and with my reviews. But the "struggle" is pure pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI struggle too...I am 200+ reviews behind! Still, I keep reading and have practically given up on timely reviews except for those dates asked for by authors/publicists/etc. It is quite a joy to have the "problem" of too many books.
Delete200! Wow - and I thought I was bad with 11-12!! [rotflmao]
DeleteI definitely let things get waaaaaaay out of control a couple years ago. Reading is how I de-stress and my teaching position at the time was incredibly stressful for a number of reasons, including a terrible admin and her cronies who out to get me for something I did not do and had no knowledge of. As a result, I read and read and read, but did not review nearly as much and now here we are, lol. Luckily I now have a teaching position that I love, away from the chaos of that forever administration and I am happy and love teaching again. The review list is daunting, but those books deserve proper reviews and they will get them. It's a very good thing that I take lots of notes when I read!
