Midlife Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

A supernatural bounty hunter who needs to remember age is just a number

Mid-Life Bounty Hunter by Shannon Mayer

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I read a fun short story by Shannon Mayer in the Kicking It anthology. I’m always on the prowl for a new paranormal/urban fantasy series, so decided to pick up Midlife Bounty Hunter in an audible sale. I’m also in my forties, so thought it be nice to read about a hero around my age. The first book in the Forty Proof series follows Breena returning divorced to Savannah. She is living with her ex’s cousin and looking for work. He recommends her for a bounty […]

A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon

Finding love through doggos

A Walk in the Park by Rebekah Weatherspoon

December 31, 2023 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I love all of Rebekah Weatherspoon’s books and dogs, so already biased to love this contemporary Black romance about a couple meeting at a dog shelter. Andre and Janelle unexpectedly meet when trying to rescue the same dog named Zeus. They both want a dog to bring some joy into their lives. There has been a mix-up and they were both promised the pup. Instead of fighting over him, they decide to co-parent for a month and see how it goes. What a lucky dog […]

Disney tricked me and I’m not even mad!

If the Shoe Fits by Julie Murphy

November 1, 2023 by cosbrarian Leave a Comment

I have loudly declared for a long time that we should have a hiatus on all Cinderella remakes. And I have rallied for a shorter time on the sad habit of Disney retreading old IP over and over again. It’s not that I am so mad about them redoing the same fairy tales all the time, but in a world where there are truly hundreds of versions of their Disney Princess tales, why not tell a fresh version of the story? I decided to read […]

“This is the man.”

The Crime of the Century: Richard Speck and the Murders That Shocked a Nation by Dennis L. Breo , William J. Martin

October 8, 2023 by Pooja Leave a Comment

On a hot summer night in 1966, unemployed seaman Richard Speck broke into a Chicago townhouse and murdered eight nurses who lived there – but a ninth, Corazon Amurao, survived to testify against him. I’ve known about the Speck case for several years, and it’s really quite a horrific yet bizarre story that made a great impact on the judicial system in Illinois. I was excited to get into a book that would cover it in depth, but I found myself startled and pleased with […]
