So grabbing the next books in the Fly Me to the Moon series happened. The next two novellas come together as they’re about how two of the current astronauts in 1962 met and found their wives. I LOVE romance novellas. All the hero/heroine none of the superfluous fluff. A Midnight Clear Frances Dumfries is the daughter and now hostess for her admiral father who runs the Naval Academy in Annapolis in 1948. Joe Reynolds is an ambitious midshipman. Frances and Joe meet at a reception […]
Stars and Rockets and Children/Puppy Plot Moppets
So Mrs. Julien recommended this one the other week to the romance crowd. As it was free for Kindle it was an easy decision to snatch it up. Come a late night returning from work travel, and this one got picked up until I finished. It was quick and fun. What more could you ask for? Anne-Marie Smith is new to the neighborhood outside of Houston in 1962. She is shockingly divorced and on her own with her two young kids for the first time. […]
The Plot Thickens
So my reading progress has crawled to a halt. And it’s all because of these darn books! They’re so engrossing that I can’t seem to find anything else that will hold my attention. Problem is, I’m doing the audio version. Which is great during my long commute times, but not so great when Little Beth Ellen is in the car or at night, because there’s no way I’m sleeping after listening to this. I’ve taken to doing sudoku before bed as no other books compare, […]
The Cuckoo’s Not a Bird in This One
So I’ve been trying to set loose reading goals every year for specific genres in order to attempt to widen my reading habits. The first time it was romance, and I was wildly successful in reading tons of new authors. Last year I meant it to be fantasy, but that’s spilling over into this year as well. Oops. But this year is mystery. And I’ve started off with a bang! The Cuckoo’s Calling is the first in the Cormoran Strike series. Cormoran Strike is a […]
Norse Gods Doing Norse God-like Things
After finishing up two audiobooks that I already know are contenders for best of the year I needed a change of pace. Something relaxing, that wouldn’t attempt to compare to the last two. Enter Mr. Gaiman reading his new collection of Norse Mythology. It was exactly what I needed. Mr. Gaiman starts with the Norse creation myth, and from there spreads out picking and choosing to tell fun and interesting tales involving Odin, Thor, and Loki most of the time.There’s the usual cast of characters […]
The Single Life and Confirmation as to Why I don’t Miss It. Also Sports!
Someone on here recently recommended this one. They said the heroine was an athlete (tennis by the title) and that there was some romance. Okay, I was sold right there. Thanks fellow CBRer. This one was a decent read that entertained me for a while. Charlotte (Charlie) Silver is the 23rd best female tennis player in the world. After what could be a career ending injury at Wimbledon she decides she needs some changes. She fires her loving coach who helped her go from juniors […]
