September 4th, 2026, 11:22 a.m. - Eh

44. Cry for Me, Argentina (Tamara Yajia)
This was...fine. Not as funny as I expected. It just fell flat for me.

Up next: Whidbey (T Kira Madden)


September 8th, 2026, 11:50 a.m. - Whoever wrote the jacket copy, we need to talk

45. Whidbey (T Kira Madden)
This was not a "complex whodunit." It was a boring bore, and I didn't really care whodunit.

Up next: What I Made for Dinner (Krys Malcolm Belc)


September 12th, 2026, 3:06 p.m. - Second course

46. What I Made for Dinner (Krys Malcolm Belc)
I'm starting to think that I would enjoy anything written by Belc. Hey, Krys, write some more so I can test my theory.

Up next: The Silent Appeal (Janice Hallett)


September 17th, 2026, 11:04 a.m. - Hallett's best since The Appeal

47. The Silent Appeal (Janice Hallett)
I loved reading another story about the characters from Hallett's first novel. This one was much less complicated, and I didn't feel like I was drowning in details like in The Appeal. I really hope Hallett writes more with these characters in the future.

Up next: Five (Ilona Bannister)


September 20th, 2026, 4:17 p.m. - This was totally different from what I was expecting

48. Five (Ilona Bannister)
I really like Bannister's writing, and I enjoyed the story for the most part, but...all of the characters were annoying. I didn't really care who died. That's a problem, right?

Up next: We Chase Shadows (Richard Osman)
