Paige Shelton fueling my love for cozy mysteries and title puns

To Helvetica and Back (Dangerous Type Mystery #1) by Paige Shelton

The Cracked Spine (Scottish Bookshop Mystery #1) by Paige Shelton

by Leave a Comment

To Helvetica and Back was my first introduction to Paige Shelton. The idea of a murder mystery set in a typewriter store was enough to catch my attention. Also, how cute is the store name: Rescued Word?! We’re in Star City, Utah, a sleepy town known for skiing. Clare learned everything about repairing typewriters from her grandfather, Chester. He opened the shop years ago and loves that his granddaughter has taken up the family business. Murder is rare in this town, so when Clare learns […]

Alpha & Omega by Patricia Briggs

Cry Wolf by Patricia Briggs

Fair Game by Patricia Briggs

The natural progression of reading the Mercy Thompson novels was diving into the Alpha & Omega series. Anna is an omega wolf, which is very rare to find. She mates with Charles, the stoic Native American werewolf enforcer for the entire US territory. He is who you call upon when alpha wolves get out of line. He is the son of Bran, the Marrock. He is the ruler of the US werewolves and helped raise Mercy. Charles is sort of a brother to Mercy in […]

My 2022 Mercy Thompson binge

Night Broken by Patricia Briggs

Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs

Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs

Storm Cursed by Patricia Briggs

by Leave a Comment

I was spacing out the Mercy Thompson series over the last few Cannonball Read challenges. Not this go-round. I got hooked and read five in a row! I will keep the spoilers light, but there are some things you may want to keep as a surprise if you haven’t read this series. Night Broken sees Mercy dealing with an unwanted house guest: Christy, Adam’s ex-wife. She has a hell of a stalker and needs the pack’s protection. Out of jealousy, the stalker burned down a […]

Coming of Age in 1950s Chinatown

Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo

by Leave a Comment

I read Last Night at the Telegraph Club for our Cannon Book Club to celebrate Asian Pacific Heritage month. The YA novel is part historical fiction and part romance. It was a powerful story of coming of age and sexual awakening. It’s also a captivating window into what life was like for 1950s Chinese Americans and the LGBTQIA community. We meet shy Chinese-American student Lily Hu who loves studying math and science. She likes to fall into books and loves sci-fi, which I can relate to! When […]
