January Review

Thank you @5feet.of.fury for picking this one for me! I did a mix of audio and print for this one and loved both mediums. The blurb describes this as a queer historical Knives Out, which is a pretty good description. Set in 1950s San Francisco, Andy has been fired from the police department after being caught in a raid on a gay bar. While doing some day drinking, he is hired by a woman to solve the murder of her wife. ⬇️

Bookzombie I had the murderer pegged pretty quickly, not the why though. But honestly, that didn‘t matter, I loved the characters in this book and the found family element. Also, just like that I have started another series. The second book is supposed to be out in the fall. #SeriesLove2023 #12challenge #12in2023

Also, I love this cover.

I love the idea of this challenge that I have seen several are doing this year. 12 books recommended by 12 of my wonderful Litsy friends. @wanderinglynn Thank you so much for sharing your graphic!

I‘m pretty open when it comes to genres, except I‘m not really into self-help or faith based books. No Stephen King please, because I‘m very, very slowly making my way through his books by publication date. 🐌
