I’ve got more new books this week! (When don’t I have new books?) Here are a few that you’ll be seeing pop up in Tuesday Teasers and reviews: First up, Mending the Moon by Susan Palwick: Melinda Soto, aged sixty-four, vacationing in Mexico, is murdered by a fellow American tourist. Back in her hometown of Reno, Nevada, she leaves behind her… Read more

This week, I actually did a little happy dance when I opened the mail. I know that my fellow reviewers know that special moment of glee when you get a terrific new book that you were really hoping for but didn’t think you’d get. The object of my affections is first on my list this week. The Ocean at the End of… Read more

I think I have enough new books to post for miles, so I’ll share them with you a few at a time. I have a towering stack here next to the computer, and three more big, fat envelopes that came in while I was gone last week. Heavenly! First, the book from yesterday’s teaser, Strange Bird by Anna Jansson: As the… Read more

Two new books this week to talk about. First is one I am very excited about – the next Christopher Meeks novel, Blood Drama, coming out in June.

Still, now and then I come across a book that I really, really want. And it joins the Permanent Collection.… Read more

Monday always seems like a good day to talk about the new books that have made their way onto my shelves. It’s the start of a new week and I can just dig in with a new book. First, a week or so ago, I emailed the good folks at Putnam when I saw that Owen Laukkanen has a new… Read more

As promised, I have some new books that I want to share with you this week. I’ve got 2 titles that I requested, one that came unsolicited, but they all look pretty good.

I’ve got 2 terrific new books to tell you about this week. The first book started quite a debate on my online forum, and the second is a new perspective on an interesting bit of history. First, the scandalous title: Man in the Empty Suit by Sean Ferrell. After reading the synopsis, there was no way I was passing this one up:… Read more
