sized competent spinster 35 years old lol wants nothing more than to putter around her laboratory manufacturing antidotes to common poisons she reluctantly gets drawn into royal intrigue when the king hires her to find out what s wrong with his ailing daughter again good world building interesting characters humor but also tension and violence i am a t kingfisher fan posted by friend mouse at 5 05 pm no comments labels book review books sunday february 1 2026 january reads ooo i m on top of it this month the end of the world as we know it anthology this is a collection of short stories by horror writers all based in the universe of stephen king s the stand the stand is one of my favorite sk novels and it was interesting to see other fans takes on it journey to munich by jacqueline winspear in this maisie dobbs mystery set in 1938 maisie is enlisted by the british secret service to infiltrate nazi germany to affect a dachau prisoner s release the man is a british engineer very valuable in the war effort maisie poses as his daughter and while she waits for the germans follow through on their promise to release him tracks down a missing woman from her past and also finds herself again in the wake of her husband s death in this grave hour by jacqueline winspear finally returning to england in 1939 as britain enters wwii maisie dobbs throws herself back into work investigating the murders of belgian refugees from the great war to die but once by jacqueline winspear this is book 14 in the series which ends at eighteen and then what will i do and maisie and her team are back at it investigating the murder of a young apprentice who was involved with a wartime government contract organized crime looms large but maisie is more than up for it bittershore by v v james ah apparently this is a sequel to sanctuary which i haven t read didn t really matter in this fantasy thriller focused on mother and daughter witches sarah and harper fenn regrouping after being run out of town after a literal witch hunt meh i guess there s an amc show based on these books the island of last things by emma sloley set on in alcatraz in the middle of a planet altering apocalypse this novel follows two zookeepers in the last zoo on earth dark but surprisingly hopeful in cold blood by truman capote one of my bffs from college said that he did a book report in ninth grade on this one but this is the first time i ve read it being true crime indeed basically inventing the genre it s not my usual read but boy was it fascinating meticulously researched via indefatigable interviews this book switches povs between the decent hardworking clutter family and the two men who brutally murdered them and so now i m going to have to try another classic true crime i ve got midnight in the garden of good and evil on my list now posted by friend mouse at 5 20 pm no comments labels book review books sunday january 4 2026 december reads i must have been busy doing holiday stuff in december because i only read three books that s the fewest in a month all year the next fewest was five in september the poppy war by rf kuang the first in a trilogy of grimdark military fantasy this novel follows rin a gifted orphan who enters an elite military academy she discovers that she has supernatural powers and this catapults her into the war that grips her country didn t love it a dangerous place by jacqueline winspear another maisie dobbs this one jumps forwards a few years to find a struggling maisie trying to lose herself first in india and then on her way home to england in gibraltar thinking to just solve the murder of a local photographer she finds herself drawn back towards the machinations of the british secret service as wwii looms ever nearer how to seal your own fate by kristin perrin the second novel in the castle knoll murder mystery series annie spends the inheritance she received in the first book by investigating a pair of murders these are enjoyable but lightweight mysteries not quite to the level of maisie dobbs or inspector gamache so i ended up reading 106 books this past year i didn t have a goal just wanted to track how many books i would read in 2025 i have a goal for 2026 though more posted by friend mouse at 5 04 pm no comments labels book review books fiction mystery monday december 1 2025 november reads ten read in november thank you long weekends the first one barely counts as i read the bulk of it in october but i didn t finish it until november i ll be gone in the dark by michelle mcnamara i m not really a true crime girlie but after the author s untimely death i d read enough about the book to be interested and i knew nothing about the golden state killer at all the devils by joe abercrombie i adore abercrombie s first law trilogy and successive in universe book his voice is very clear in the devils but it s a different world with its own wonderful scary heart breaking and very very very flawed characters loved it how to solve your own murder by kristen perrin as a girl frances learns via a palm reading session that she will be murdered she spends her whole life preparing and attempting to prevent such a thing after her demise her great niece annie must solve her aunt s murder in order to inherit her estate fun low stakes the care and management of lies by jacqueline winspear not a maisie dobbs novel we ll get back to those shortly but set in england during wwi as a young farmer s wife must keep things running on the home front when her husband and her best friend enlist i liked it quite a lot elegy for eddie by jacqueline winspear yes the next maisie dobbs novel as our intrepid psychologist and sleuth investigates the murder of horse whisperer eddie wwii is drawing ever nearer and maisie is uneasy about her fella s involvement with winston churchill and his ilk really good installment leaving everything most loved by jacqueline winspear in this one maisie investigates the murders of two young indian women working in london as household help she also starts listening to her heart shift by ethan kross non fiction about trying to get a grip on and adjustment to one s emotions interesting but didn t offer as many actionable tips tricks as i had hoped never leave the dogs behind by brianna madia this is madia s second memoir covering her struggles in moab post divorce she s a bad ass no doubt but reading this was especially poignant given that one of her beloved dogs dagwood just died last week what stalks the deep by t kingfisher i guess this is the third installment in the sworn soldier series i ve read the first what moves the dead but not the second i do like these books set in olden times with some alt reality and dead things that flail around in the dark chasing the boogeyman by richard chizmar this one is written like a true crime book with the author as the main character but it is in fact a novel i liked this a lot liked the hybrid feel of it that was a good bunch i rather liked most of them what have you all been reading posted by friend mouse at 10 00 am no comments labels book review books saturday november 8 2025 october reads lots more books read in october due to a week of vacation in a place with no tv or internet and actually getting them posted timely here due to getting my shit together somewhat night shift by stephen king a re read of his first collection of short stories because i didn t want to start in on my horde of library books until vacation started you know how i feet about his short stories you should probably read them this one or skeleton crew to start nestlings by nat cassidy reviews seem to think it s akin to a lovechild between rosemary s baby and salem s lot which i guess i can see i found it weird and not entirely cohesive plus i didn t like either of the main characters fever house by keith russon a couple of enforcers sent around to collect for their boss end up with a severed hand that incites madness bloodthirsty killing and uncontrollable rage the hand makes its way across the city wreaking havoc this is supposed to be a sprawling horror crime novel and sprawling is right the interconnections didn t really interconnect for me and the ending is a clear set up for the sequel didn t care for this one all that much motherthing by ainslie hogarth at this point i m on a roll with books i don t love when abby s mother in law dies she goes all in to save her husband fight the mother in law s ghost and create the perfect family for herself the gross parts are fun and it s definitely got some funny parts but again i just didn t like the protagonist piranesi by susanna clarke in which we switch gears from horror to fantasy piranesi lives in a labyrinth world ruled by tides and populated only by him birds statues and dead bodies this is a weird one with ruminations on knowledge and belief but i did like it you re not supposed to die tonight by kalynn bayron which sounds like a pseudonym to me which is fine a young adult slasher in book form a bunch of kids who work at a live action haunted house set up like a summer camp in a slasher film actually find themselves face to face with a masked killer on the last night of the concession it was cute i guess and pretty murdery but also pretty light weight the mapping of love and death by jacqueline winspear another maisie dobbs novel maisie is hired by american parents to track down the english nurse their son fell in love with during wwi before he was killed but it looks like he was killed by his own men good one hawk mountain by connor habib todd single father and english teacher gets gaslit by a former high school bully jack after a chance meeting at the beach jack insinuates himself into todd s life and things escalate a lot from there this is like two totally different books and ends up going completely off the rails i sort of liked it until i definitely didn t a lesson in secrets by jacqueline winspear back to maisie dobbs who does an undercover job for the british secret service as a professor in cambridge as europe rolls inexorably towards wwii i am so glad i found out about this series i do love british murder mysteries a history of fear by luke dumas university of edinburgh graduate student grayson hale achieves notoriety when he murders a fellow student and then claims the devil made him do it the novel is from the pov of daniela a reporter as she goes through the evidence after hale is found dead in his cell reading hale s memoir and adding her own comments and portions of third party interviews twisty slow burn unreliable narrators pretty good the songs of trees by davie george haskell what ho non fiction haskell visits a number of trees around the world over a period of years commenting on their connections to the life around them fungi bacterial colonies other plants communities of animals indigenous people the owners of the corner bodegas
