Excellent, thoughtful science fiction.

A great continuation of the saga as the Elric brothers learn the truth about the Philosopher's Stone.

An enjoyable sapphic romance that was an engaging and easy read.

Emilia has an indomitable spirit. This is her story. It didn't keep me riveted but it was good enough.

This is the story of a couple, Abe and Jane, over the course of fifty years together. It‘s told through their time spent in New York’s Central Park. She’s a visual artist, he’s a writer. Now as Jane is dying, Abe recalls their life together as a way to keep going. How their love and careers took shape through marriage, parenthood, and life. Throughout it all, Central Park bears witness to their relationship, even providing its own point of view. Jessica Soffer writes beautifully about all the nuances of a long love story.

I enjoyed Red Dragon and I love a thriller & all things true crime but, I felt like the entire book was a bit too focused on catching the killer instead of Dolarhyde himself.

Guess who Mary Russell marries? Go on, guess! Nope, she marries Sherlock Holmes! And what a wonderful job this author does telling this tale. She crafts, for us, the background story of Mary, while keeping the personality of Holmes aligned during what would be an unlikely event for him. What a wonderful read!

This is a wonderful tale that everyone can relate to; the anxiety and anticipation surrounding a high school reunion, and Smith tells a wonderful tale here. And as the old classmates gather, grudges come to the surface, and secrets behind them are revealed.

This was an engaging story of a RAF war flyer who crashes during a mission, but he winds up in a different year. It is interesting to watch him as he realizes what has happened and then try to figure out what to do. A different type of story.

While I am not always a fan of his stories set in Scotland, I did enjoy this one. Isabel sets out to get a present for her husband for Valentine’s Day but in the process becomes entangled in a situation which looks like she will either need to renege on a promise or fail to help someone who is truly in need. But leave it to the philosopher in her to work out the right answer.
