The Dead Will Tell is the 6th book in Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series. It was tense pretty much from page one. I never lost interest in it. Castillo is continuing to develop the character of Kate. Kate has grown quite a lot since the first book.
Kate Burkholder investigates a murder that may have ties to a 35 year old murder. A person dies, and the police find notes saying, 'I know what you did.' The police try to get ⬇️
Loved ScoobyDo as a kid. Great book for kids. Easy to read with great illustration. Will bring a laugh or two. Another Book for Roland for Easter
Wonderful book. Shows kids how love conquers things. Beautiful illustrations. Book for Sloane for Easter!
I couldn't find this in database. I got it for my neighbors son for Easter. I always read the books I get for them.
Cute book with Grover, Big Bird, Bert and Amy as they pretend to find different animals. Great Illustration.

Agatha Raisin is an amuter sleuth who always ends up making the police mad at her for interfering with their cases. In Agatha Raisin and the Day the Floods Came, she ends up getting involved in another case. She's headed home when she stops on a bridge with everyone else and sees a bride floating down the river. She's intrigued when she finds out the bride had been frozen. I do like this series bc Agatha is kind of cranky but wears her ⬇️

I enjoy reading history because I love to learn things. In Keith Lowe's Naples 1944: The Paradise at War, Lowe takes us on a journey of Naples during WWII when the Allies first land there. His book covers the years 1943-1946.
I have a problem when I read history books. I always end up going down the rabbit hole. This time was no different. I was never taught in school about the Allies landing there, or I don't remember it.

I have read all of Nita Prose's Maid books, and this one is my favorite! Molly the Maid takes some things to work to get appraised because there is an antique show filming there, and the workers can bering something. She takes an egg at the last minute. Prose uses this egg to tell the backstory of Molly's Gran. We get to learn her history, which I loved. Prose does this through a dairy left for Molly. There is a mystery to solve ⬇️
I usually read the KJV, but decided to read this version for a change. I know some may think I am crazy, but I think the Holy Bible is the best book ever written. There is romance, murder, adultery, plagues, brimstone and hail, history, and mystery. It is so good. I hope everyone reads it.
The 5th in the Kate Burkholder Series is another good murder mystery. I enjoy this series. I have missed some, so I decided to go back to the beginning and listen to them all. Kate is sent to a hit and run scene. It involves an Amish buggy and when younger Kate was friends with the wife. Soon, she realizes that this was premeditated murder.
I was a little surprised at the murderer and the hand that was in it.

Well written and beautifully illustrated. It's a fun rhyming book for someone's birthday. It's great that it tells that You are You and there is no one alive who is you-er than you. It makes you feel special.

I got this and the Hungry Caterpillars Easter Egg Hunt for my neighbors kids. I always read the books I give them before I give the book to them😊
Illustration is great! Perfect for ages 1 to 5. Great for beginner readers. A trip on the farm to find Easter eggs.

I won this through a Goodreads Giveaway!
Go get this book when it hits bookshelves. It publishes March 24, 2025! You will not be sorry.
The emotions I had reading this book were like a rollercoaster. I was laughing so hard, then the next paragraph, I would have tears in my eyes. Fredrik Backman's writing is amazing! The way he wrote made me feel as if I was right there that summer on the peir with the artist, Ted, Joar, and Ali!
I just didn't like this book that much, which isn't a popular opinion. It looked at a murder 200 years ago. Dawson wrote about the murder, Williams ( the author of the first book about the murder),and Hawthorne ( how he based the Scarlett Letter off of the victim). It just seemed to me that way too much stuff was going on in the book. It could have been just me, as others liked the book. 2⭐️

Short novella. Kate Burkholder and Tomasetti go away for a weekend. They end up intrigued by a missing person case. It was short, and not a whole lot happened. But that's how most novellas in a series are. This was my #BookSpinDouble

I'm listening to Linda Castillo's Kate Burkholder Series in order this year because somehow I missed some. I enjoy this series, and even though this is only the 4th book, Kate has grown so much since the first one. She is definitely a bad ass and so much harder on herself than others are. Book 4 looks at missing teenage Amish girls on Rumspringa. Kate is asked to help BCI by Tomasetti. He thinks that with her background, she'll ⬇️

It's a wonderful game book for a Sunday School class. I think it would be good for 10 and up. One thing I really liked about it is that it gives the book of the Bible and chapter. I think that would let the Sunday School teacher combine a game with learning God's word.

What a fun book. It's divided into 8 sections and is a game. It's appropriate for kids aged 8 - 12. I can see a barrel of laughs coming from this book. Some of the things I would rather not do. Such as, would you rather be trapped in a room with a crocodile or a python? Me, neither. Grab this book and have a ton of fun on game night or a road trip to keep you and your family entertained.

Is Josh Nadeau a writer or an artist? I think a little bit of both. His writing is music to my soul. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is his journey to true living. I'm talking about true living for Jesus. To take those everyday moments and find God in every aspect. I am a Christian and love God. This book helped me realize that we can all do better. We each can become a saint in some way. We all experience the ups and downs of life, ⬇️

5th book in the cozy historical mystery Elizabeth Hawthorne Series. Elizabeth wins a ticket at an auction to go watch the comet Altheia. She must go to a private island to watch this event. But a night meant for a once in a lifetime viewing turns sinister.
I enjoy reading The Elizabeth Hawthorne Cozy Historical Mystery Series. In the previous books, there was good character development, but in this one, I didn't see that.
I read a lot of WWII nonfiction history and historical fiction books. I had never heard about the Propaganda Girls that worked in the Marole Operations (MO) branch of the OSS. Propaganda Girls tells of four women who worked in the MO office.
Rogak, you can tell when you read it, a thoroughly researched book. These 4 ladies were a major part of WWII. They helped with false information to enemy soldiers trying to get them to surrender. ⬇️

I have read a lot of books by Brad Meltzer. When he teams up with Josh Mensch, I know I'm going to read an excellent book. They take on a little, none fact about the Big Three. They met in Terhan in 1943 to make plans for the American and British troops to invade through France. Of course, this day becomes D-Day, June 6, 1944. What isn't well known is that there is a plot by the Nazis to kill if not all the Big Three, at least one. 5⭐️

If you have lived through a few decades, then you know that for some reason, the past repeats itself. During the 1940s and 1950s, at the beginning of the Cold War, America became a country scared of communism. WWII had just ended, and the USSR (as Russia was known then) was taking over Eastern Europe, the Keoran War had started, and there was a move to take over China, it was the perfect storm for the Red Scare. The government got ⬇️
Another good book by Erik Larson. When you read one of his books, you are sure to learn a lot. He researches his books like no one else does. Thunderstruck is about a murder, not long after the Whitechapel murders, and the man who invented wireless communication. Larson tells parallel stories of each man until the end when they cross.

5⭐️ I watched the whole trail of Alex Murdaugh when it was on CourtTV. I was happy to find this book on the LibbyApp and read it. It brought into the whole crazy story the history of the Murdaugh Family. The first part of the book was about Alex's great-great-grandfather and how he opened the law firm in 1920. It showed how the Murdaugh's have always thought they were above the law. It was like it was ingrained into them. I think this is ⬇️
Stole this from Goodwill Librarian on FB! It made me laugh 😂
Crap on a cracker! I have to say this is the best book I've read all year, and I seriously doubt any book will top it. There was so much. Ugh! I can't tell you about it because I will ruin it. OK! OK! I received The Writer from J. D. Barker!! He wrote it with James Patterson. In all honesty, I thought it probably wouldn't be that good because the last couple of books I've read from Patterson haven't been up to par to me. This one,⬇️

It's a short book with 5 True Crime stories. The main one is about the I-70 Strangler. Herb Baumeister was a married man, but he had homosexual tendencies. He was committed to a psychiatric hospital as a youth by his father. His wife could count on her hand the number of types they had sex in 25 years of marriage. He committed over 21 murders. The other 4 stories are missing person cases and murder cases. Mine is not a popular ⬇️

I never even heard of what happened in Gander, Newfoundland, on September 11, 2001. Some of my friends on Litsy had read it and recommended it. I'm so glad they did. It's an uplifting story. It shows that there are still people in this world who will go out of their way to help people and be nice. I remember how America came together on September 11, and I wonder what has happened to us. We are such a divided country now. ⬇️
A cute cozy mystery. Has everything cozies have from an amuter sleuth, no gory murder, fun cat and dog characters, a red herring set in a small town. It's set in Alexandria, Virginia's charming Old Town neighborhood. Sophia Winston is the MC. She's an entertaining guru that is in a cooking contest when a murder happens. 4⭐️
