This was such a great read! Complex, but perfectly presented

💖💖💖

This was a really fun, quick read!

This is an awesome psychological thriller! Avoid spoilers as much as possible, just go read this book!

First read of 2019! A really great time travel book!

Excellent book!

Transporting a woman to the asylum, Kopp doubts that the woman belongs there. Never content to let an injustice slide by, she is determined to right this wrong. Of course, the fact that a high-stakes election is coming up means that Kopp should be behaving herself, but when has she (or the reporters) ever been bothered with that?

I adore Constance, and was delighted to receive an ARC of this to follow her further!

#3 in the Kendra Donovan series by Julie McElwain. FBI agent Donovan is still stranded in 1815, and finds herself in the middle of another murder investigation after Luddites break into a mill and the manager is found dead.

I've been enjoying this series. The time travel premise was a little strange at first, but it's fun watching Donovan react to the customs she finds ridiculous, and manage to solve crimes without any modern conveniences.

#6 in the Dublin Murder Squad series by Tana French. Detectives Conway and Moran are investigating the aftermath of a domestic dispute. While everyone else seems convinced it's a standard open and shut case, they're not so sure. Or are they just overcomplicating things?

I love French's writing style. Her characters are so well crafted, and the stories just suck you in. I totally lost track of time when they started closing in on the killer!

Today is #BookLoversDay and it made me realize I have *completely* failed at my New Year's resolution to post about all of the four and five star books I've read this year. So to catch up, here are some lovely spreadsheets of the ones I've read so far! 😝

Another Millhone Investigations adventure!

It's mythology and Gaiman, what's not to like?

This was one of the Amazon First Reads, and it's a really excellent thriller that makes you question everything up until the very end!

It took me a little while to get used to the dialect, but once I did, it was an excellent read!

Totally loved this! It's one of those books that makes you want to crawl inside and experience the world first-hand

This was delightful! I loved watching Britt-Marie question some of her long-held beliefs.

This is incredible. I absolutely loved it, and would read dozens of these if it turns into a series!

This is fantastic! I can't wait to read more of this series!

I always enjoy a Kinsey Millhone story!

I totally want to join a secret book society now!

Another installment in an excellent series!

An excellent sequel to The Girl With All The Gifts!

I totally devoured this book... It's excellent!

Another absolutely incredible installment in the Dublin Murder Squad series!
.
Cassie gets called on to go undercover again when a murder victim turns up looking exactly like her, and carrying ID matching Cassie's old alias. This book totally sucked me in, and I couldn't put it down!

I really enjoyed being immersed in the painting process, and all of the intertwining stories in this book!
.
Claire is paying her bills by painting reproductions of famous works when she's offered a chance at her own show in a prominent gallery. The catch? She has to forge a stolen painting. Things get more complicated when she realizes that the "original" is a forgery itself.

Still loving the alphabet series...
.
Kinsey gets hired to track down a missing doctor, and her search for a new office puts her in touch with landlords who might have more going on than meets the eye.

After so many murder mysteries, I needed to mix it up a bit ?
.
In the third book in the "Chocolat" series, Vianne returns to Lansquenet to find that things have changed in her absence, and she's called upon to work her magic once again. This book is full of vibrantly delicious images, and is simply delightful!

A truly unique psychological thriller!
.
Malorie has spent years training "boy" and "girl" to navigate the outdoors wearing blindfolds, to sharpen their hearing to perceive the world around them, and to stay safe from the creatures who will drive them to violent madness if glimpsed. There's this incredible tension throughout the book, and I couldn't wait to see what happened next!

Working my way through the alphabet series, and enjoying every letter!
.
Kinsey confronts her past when events from her first marriage resurface. An undelivered letter sends her on a journey to find the truth.

This was an excellent choice for my first read of the year!

Constance Kopp returns in the third installment of this series, and is fully embracing her role as deputy sheriff. She's doing everything in her power to help the women that end up in her prison, and is coming into conflict with ideas of how young girls should behave.

Loved this and can't wait for the next one!

So I just figured out that Goodreads was missing a bunch of my "finished reading" dates and filled in the ones I could figure out. Turns out setting my reading goal for 2017 at 52 books wasn't anywhere near as much of a stretch as I thought it'd be ? I read way more than I thought I did!

Anyone have a better way to track their books?

Here's the latest awesome book I've read!

The media has dubbed three women the "Final Girls" after they each emerge from slasher-style massacres as the sole survivor. Quincy has done a pretty good job of putting that horrific night behind her, until the original Final Girl is found dead.
*****
Suspenseful, twist-filled thriller. Perfect Halloween read! I'd tell you more, but I don't want to spoil anything!

This one is a little different from the previous books, but it's still awesome. Maggie Hope takes some time to process some of the more horrible aspects of the war, so it's a little more introspective, but excellently done!

I'm totally devouring this series, I love it!

I'm really loving this series! I love that Maggie Hope isn't perfect, she makes plenty of mistakes, but she's still determined to figure everything out and do the right thing.

This was a beautiful read. Even if you think you aren't interested in fashion at all, if you enjoy historical fiction, beautiful descriptions, and charming characters, you should give this a try.

The second book in the Kopp sisters series, and I love it! These girls are so much fun to read about. Each one has such personality, and they're all so different, but they really do love and support each other through all of their hijinks!

This was a fun light-hearted read! I don't read a lot of YA, but this was a nice little change of pace. A sort of misfit-discovers-her-place story, with a bit of steampunk-esque setting. Something quirky and different!

A time traveling FBI agent solves a murder. I'll admit, I wasn't sure about this one at first, but once I started reading it I was hooked. It's less about the time travel, and more about the agent's ability to adapt to completely unfamiliar circumstances and accomplish her goal without any of her usual resources, all while trying to get people to take her seriously without any of her credentials. Excellent read!

This was awesome! It's inspired by one of the first female deputy sheriffs and her sisters. I loved these stubborn, determined girls even before I knew they were based on real people, and when I found out, I loved them even more!

This was totally trippy and all over the place and I loved it! I recommend not stressing about the particulars, just relax and go along for the ride!

I felt like it was a little slower paced than some other books in this category I've read, but I enjoyed it all the same. I'm looking forward to reading the next one in this series!

An enjoyable historical fiction set during World War II. I really enjoyed trying to figure out who was spying on who and what everyone was up to!

The way this book tells the story from each girl's perspective while building on the ones that came before is so well done. Uniquely structured story, but it really works well!

Ok, so if you were on board for my last recommendation, here's another incredible book! This is a thriller/slasher set in a luxury hotel. The staff is finishing last minute prep work for the grand opening, and then people start getting murdered. The structure of the story is a little different, but it all comes together. In the right hands, this would be an amazing movie, but it'd have to be really long to fit in all the awesome!

If you love delightfully convoluted psychological thriller murder mysteries, then avoid all spoilers and read this now. If you don't... ahem, as you were...

An excellent blend of historical fiction and mystery! Really enjoyed this!

A fascinating, delightfully tangled mystery! I couldn't wait to find out what was going on!

This book pulls you in like the seas it depicts. Wonderful!
