Review: Something Read, Something Dead

Something Read, Something DeadSomething Read, Something Dead by Eva Gates
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



QOTD: Have you been in a situation where someone thought you were someone else?

AOTD: I often get “You look exactly like…” It seems that my face and mannerisms resemble people’s cousins, aunts, friends, etc. I wish I was unique. In my younger days, I used to be a dark red hair. I once walked into a new hair salon and the hairdresser said: “OMG, you look exactly like Rhoda Morgenstern” (a.k.a. Valerie Harper)”! I did not know who she was at the time and had watched a few Mary Tyler More Shows on YouTube to confirm the resemblance.


My Review:
I love this cozy mystery series by Eva Gates. This is the fifth book in the series and I am happy to report that it is as wonderful as the first four books. I enjoy the characters and their interactions. The premise of a library in a lighthouse is unique and makes this series very attractive to all book lovers. Lucy is at it again and tries (and succeeds) to solve the murder. Eva Gates infuses the story with so many possibilities, and when you think you have the mystery solved, she throws a monkey wrench in the equation and you are back to square one.

This book is entertaining and fun. I recommend this mystery series.

Thank you Crooked Lane Books for my advanced reader copy of this fantastic book! Something Read, Something Dead by Eva Gates will be available at your favourite bookstore on March 13, 2019.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her  by  Liz Plum My rating:  3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves  by  Ingrid Chabbert My rating:  5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
