Book 9 in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery Series (#SeriesLove2024). Another fun escapade with Gemma and Jane, this time involving spiritualism and seances.

Probably The Iliad. From what I can find it was published in the late 1400s.

Great choice of topic @dabbe #TLT

1. Team of Rivals by Doris Kearns Goodwin - showed the political prowess of Lincoln and how he was able to work with those he disliked/disagreed with for the good of the nation

2. The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom - a tale of perseverance, love and kindness. A tale of the innate kindness in humans.

3. The Storyteller by Dave Grohl - heartwarming and insightful. Felt like being with a good friend.

Librarybelle The Storyteller is so good! 2w
Mollyanna @Librarybelle It is! And the audiobook is the way to go…. Grohl does a wonderful job. 2w
Librarybelle Yes! I‘ve read it and listened to it…he does indeed do a wonderful job! 1w
dabbe #1 has been on my shelf for years! Time to read it! I read #2 years ago--excellent! And #3: I need some DG in my life! Thanks for sharing. 💚💙💚 1w

1st book in the Andy Carpenter series (#SeriesLive2024). This was a bit of a wild ride. I look forward to reading more in this series. Reminds me a bit of the old McBride movies starring John Larroquette.

TheSpineView Love finding a new series to read. Great job!📖📚📚 2w

The fourth Nancy Drew book (#SeriesLove2024). Nancy really puts herself in the thick of things this time, but manages to solve the mystery.

The first book in a new series set at a bakery/coffeehouse in the upper NW (#SeriesLove2024). This was a fun cozy mystery about Jules, who returns home after learning her husband had been keeping a secret from her. It was fun and I look forward to reading more in the series.

Book 14 in the Isabel Dalhousie series (#SeriesLove2023). Once again Isabel is asked to assist someone with their problems, and of course Isabel agrees. But this time Jamie also has a problem to solve. Will he finally understand why Isabel gets involved in these matters?

Another great installment. These are calm, insightful, philosophic novels. I‘m always happy to see a new one come out. Davina Porter narrates them to perfection.

The first in the series (#SeriesLove2023) of Charlie Harris and his Maine coon cat, Diesel. Diesel was a delight, and I wish I could take my dog all the places that Diesel was allowed. The mystery was so-so. I‘m interested to see where this series goes though. One of the first cozy mysteries I‘ve read with a male protagonist.

Andrew65 Looks fun reads. Well done 👏👏👏 4mo
TheSpineView Great job! 4mo
rwmg I love this series, but mainly to spend time with Charile and Diesel and friends rather than for the mysteries. 4mo

Still catching up on #StarWarsBuddyRead books. This is the first in the Han Solo trilogy. Although Han is probably my favorite character, this was a little underwhelming. There were some action packed scenes, but overall it was a bit slow. I‘ll continue with the trilogy to finish getting Han‘s backstory.

1st finish for October‘s #20in4 and a #SeriesLove2023 finish.
