I'll admit that I don't subscribe to as many book boxes as I would like. However, the two that I am subscribed to (OwlCrate and BOTM) have always treated me well. And that's enough for me.I've never seen a silicone popcorn holder before this month! It's cute, though I'm not sure I'm going to end up using it for popcorn. Instead, it'll probably be relegated towards holding bookish odds and ends in my library.I may have a slight hoard of wax seals - and I really need some good excuses to use them. However, I'm never going to complain when a new seal is added to my collection! Hence why I was so excited to find this cutie in April's OwlCrate box.Over the years I've worked hard to create a comfortable desk with a style I can enjoy. Bookish mousepads are already a nice addition!I am SO glad that I waited for OwlCrate's copy of Hotel Magnifique! This book has gotten so many amazing covers, but I legit think this one is my favorite. Plus, the hardcover glows in the dark! That's a first (for me).Look at all the lovely items that came with April's OwlCrate box. I have always been a sucker for bookish household items, and this box had not one but TWO items. Plus some coffee and other cute items. I'm thrilled!Goodreads

Review: A Good Day for Chardonnay by Darynda Jones
A Good Day for Chardonnay is the second novel in Darynda Jones’ Sunshine Vicram series. It’s a delightful mystery/thriller series that somehow maintains a sense of humor and confidence despite all of the horrors that go on. I love it. Continue reading

Review: A Bad Day for Sunshine by Darynda Jones
A Bad Day for Sunshine is the start of new beginnings, being the first in Darynda Jones’ Sunshine Vicram series. Personally, I’m hoping this series goes on for quite some time.

Review: Of Mutts and Men by Spencer Quinn
that I haven’t actually read the first nine novels in this series – my bad. I got so excited about the idea of a mutt mystery that I completely got ahead of myself. Still, I really enjoyed this mystery and had no trouble jumping right on in. Continue reading
Review: Survive the Night by Riley Sager
Survive the Night is the latest novel written by Riley Sager (I’ll confess: I have way too many of his books stacked up on my TBR. It’s bad, guys). I grabbed it when it came up on BOTM, because it’s a thriller, and I can’t resist. Continue reading

Review: Thunderpaws and the Tower of London by Ben Housden and MonoKubo
I would like to nominate Thunderpaws and the Tower of London for having the cutest title I’ve seen in all of 2021. I don’t know why, but it just makes me smile (and laugh a little) every time I see or think of it. Thunderpaws and the Tower of London (see, there I go again!) is the first novel in the Nature’s Claw series. It was written by Ben Housden, with illustrations from MonoKubo. Continue reading
Review: Silverview by John le Carre
Silverview by John le Carre came up as one of my Book of the Month options, and I grabbed it without hesitation. It wasn’t until after I started reading that I learned that Silverview is a novel le Carre had been working on over the course of a few years – never quite getting it to the point that he liked. So now I’m feeling a bit conflicted on the matter. Continue reading

Review: The Scholars of Night by John M. Ford
Don’t you just love it when a book gets reprinted? I know I do. It gives me a chance to notice books that I missed the first time around. In this instance, the book in question is actually older than I am, which is always pretty cool. The Scholars of Night by John M. Ford is getting republished by Tor Books and is perfect for all the mystery fans in the house. Continue reading
Review: This Is Why We Lie by Gabriella Lepore

Review: The Final Deception by Heather Graham
The Final Deception is the fifth novel in Heather Graham’s New York Confidential series, combining romance, crime, mystery, and suspense. I’ll confess that I mistakenly picked up this book without knowing it was part of a series. Yet, I didn’t have any trouble diving right into the plot. Continue reading
