It's still two weeks away, but I've pre-ordered John Scalzi's new novel, the 7th book in the Old Man's War series. I'm so happy he's returning to this series, it's one of my all time favorites. #SeriesLove2025

Finished this yesterday for #ThematicCozies August #Travel & found it a solid cozy. Set on a upscale European river boat cruise (in this first one it starts in Budapest), where the MC, London Rose has just been named Social Director (sort of the cruise director) & one of the passengers dies on an outing under mysterious circumstances. Overall, I liked London & the mystery wasn‘t bad. I‘d read the next one in the series.

I think my 2022 review pretty much holds up for this re-read so nothing much more to say. 4.5🌟

pickThis is my favourite kind of Crime Thriller, packed to the brim with police procedures and a change to discover for one self who the culprit is.
Slaughter really has a unique ability to write characters you can't help loving; in impossible situations, you don't want to find yourself in.
I'm intrigued to know what will happen next for my new friends in North Falls.
pick#serieslove2025 This 4th book in the series picks up 8 months after book 3, speeding up the timeline our characters have to save Princess Jaslyn from dying on her 18th birthday and being taken over by the evil far king Mordeus. Lots of searching for answers and trying to avoid processes but a nice conclusion to this saga. I wasn‘t as hooked as the other 3 but had to see how it all played out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1/2
panThat‘s another series cleared from my shelf. I really enjoyed the first couple of books in this series, but felt by book 4 it was getting jaded, and sadly this, the 5th in the series, is even more tired. Dunbar is so intent on shoehorning politics into her book that she forgot to make the story and characters interesting.

pickI wish this kind of read was available when I was a teenager!
As a book about a girl and her dragon, this book was splendid fun. As a book about an indigenous island girl and her endangered species dragon, this is the kind of book I've been waiting for...as an indigenous reader, this fantasy is a treasure 📚🐉💖.
I prefer books without battles, but some may find this a bit slow paced.

pickThe 7th case for DS Washington Poe & analyst, Tilly Bradshaw, sees them hunting for a deadly sniper. With a body count of 17 & rising, the killer never misses but it's difficult to track them or predict their next move as their targets & locations seem to be completely random. Poe & Bradshaw are the best there is, but how do you catch a killer who never makes a mistake?

I know this one isn't officially part of the #RealmOfElderlings read-a-long.
However, after discovering the Piebald Prince in Assassin's Quest and realizing there's a short story about him, I simply had to find out more.
As with everything I've read by Hobb this is a well tailored little tale of the first Witted Prince to take a short rule over the Six Duchies.
