I read Vanessa Riley's A Gamble at Sunset, first in a new historical romance series. Alas, I think this author's writing voice may not be for me.

I positively inhaled David S. Pederson's Puzzles Can Be Deatly, a most excellent fairplay historical quozy mystery. Here's hoping the author writes more books with these protagonists.

ICYMI: I thoroughly enjoyed David S Pederson's Puzzles Can Be Deadly, and I hope hit's the beginning of a series with the two protagonists.

Because I didn't feel right with my DNF review for this months' , I dug up another ancient ARC from the digital shelves: Nalini Singh's Rock Wedding

Amazingly, it worked quite well!

After seeing multiple books in the Lyon's Den Connected World in NetGalley, I read one; this is also my introduction to the author, Ruth A Casie, and it didn't go well. Here's my review for The Lyon's Gambit

ICMI: I read Kelly Armstrong's A Rip Through Time; this is both my introduction to the author and the first in the eponymous series--and it is very, very good.

I’m not big on time travel tales these days, but I’m enjoying this series.

I read J.R. Ellis's The Canal Murders; another police procedural, much better execution.

To finish out toots for today, I hit the Nostalgia Buffet pretty hard recently with audiobooks. A soapy Gothic set in NorCal and an old school Detroit-set thriller starring a mob hitman https://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2024/06/mini-reviews-nostalgia-ahoy.html @romancelandia
