pickThis was a tough read for me. It got into very technical political issues, and it required a lot of attention so that I didn‘t get lost. This doesn‘t mean it wasn‘t a good book. Every book I‘ve read by this author has been good. I didn‘t realize I was reading #17 in the series. It didn‘t matter. It was good as a stand alone book. I‘ll definitely be reading more of William Kent Krueger‘s books.

pickBook #17 of 2024: “Plotting Women” by Jean Franco
This was a challenge. I lack a lot of the background needed to understand many of the references made to other texts and authors, but the topic (women who, in their own ways, subverted gender norms/expectations in Mexican culture) was engrossing. I wouldn‘t recommend this book unless this has been a field of study for you already. It‘s dense.
pickAugust 2024 Book #5 Elena Knows
My first novel by this author. Short but powerful novel. So intense, well written. It was amazing how the illness was described, I almost felt I was inside Elena‘s body, feeling her frustrations to command her body to react, to follow her instructions. Characters were masterly described, so much was said in a short novel. It was so sad the story of Elena. I was just captivated by this stor, by this written style 5⭐️
so-soAugust 2024 Book #4
Megan moved from US to Ireland and she is working in a Limo Service. One day one famous client collapsed after she ate in a restaurant. Megan is a friend of the owners of this restaurant and she accepted to help them in the investigation of the circumstances of this death due to the bad impact this incident can have to the restaurant and because one employee was a suspect of this murder⬇️2.8/3⭐️
pickThis is #17 in the Cork O‘Connor series. While I‘ve read his standalone books, I think I‘ve only read 1 book of this series. Krueger does a great job letting you in wherever you pick up the series. As usual, he puts you squarely in the story, bringing you close through his descriptions of nature and the characters. This story involves a plane crash, a military takeover of the crash site, and domestic terrorism. A bit too close to home actually.
pickBook #17 of 2024: My first #monstersmut and I gotta say I loved it! This book series is also a kinda retelling/reimagine of Beauty and The Beast. It‘s an easy to follow story line. The world building is great too. Perfect weekend read. The book makes made me laugh and you really start to feel for the characters. 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

pickWell is not a hello, it‘s almos a bye bye summer b ecause I‘m posting this review extremely late...😳😂It was read last June.
I enjoyed this one because it has a touch of mystery after a suspicious death occurred. If you know this author, you will expect a lot of family drama with some funny scenes due to town gossips, that Rowena is a funny character. 3.5/3.7 ⭐️ I found this author recent book for free👍
