I checked off prompts this month for the 52 Books Reading Challenge. My favorite genres continues to be Cozy Mysteries, Historical Mysteries and Detective Mysteries.
Prompt: I think it was blue (referring to the cover!) - Pretty generic mass market cozy mystery. 2 stars out of 5.
Prompt:Set in summer - A decent beach read. 3 out of 5 stars because I wanted to keep reading.
And then there were the library mystery book club read.
I did not enjoy this one as I don’t like dithering, waiting to be rescued female main characters. I do see how she was a representative of cultural and family norms though. That trope is also common to Romance novels which this was primarily with a side of a mystery. It will be interesting to hear the discussion next week.
How literary of you -- and quite an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteI've never liked reading mysteries and I don't know why. But they sure seem to sell. None of these books would appeal to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you like to read?
DeleteI had admired the cover of the Aunties book but I'm not a big mystery fan. Will need to find something to cover that prompt, though. Hope the discussion at the book club is lively.
ReplyDeleteI left a reply to your comment on my blog about my reads this week, but forgot to mention something kind of important if you are looking for the ones I mentioned. I haven't seen The Little Old Lady Who Broke All the Rules anywhere except on Amazon; I don't think it was widely released in the US. But I did want to let you know that if you are a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, it is available there to borrow instead of having to buy it. And if you're not a subscriber, it's possible you could get a free trial period.
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a fan of 'heist' books, or movies for that matter, so was happy to see this one. It is a little along the lines of A Man Called Ove type story.
The Searcher is by Tana French who is pretty widely available, so it should be easily found.
Thanks much!
