Image
    Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,          I admit I purchased more books in March than I read. But many of you most likely do the same thing. It's hard to say no when a good deal hits the bookstore . And March was filled with road trips to new bookstores. The air outside is Spring and nothing makes this book lover more happy than a widows-down car ride to a book sale.   But when I was reading, I was visiting one of my favorite authors and the start of her new detective series. I look forward to the next installment (review to come).   Here is my reading result for March: The Last Party by Clare Mackintosh (read by Chloe Angharad Davies)        My April reading picks (subject to change, of course) have a few thrillers and a childhood favorite: Bad Liar by Tami Hoag (read by Hilary Huber) The Butcher and the Wren by Alaina Urquhart (read by Sophie Amoss and Jo Knezevich) One Last Kill by Robert Dugoni...

    Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons,          February 2025, where have you gone? With road trips, birthday parties, and a couple of days as a studio audience member on two talk shows, February has disappeared.   But did I read any books? The answer is kind of. I started 2 books and have yet to finish them.
