A Bit Of My Reading Life

Only the Holy Remain cover image

I’m currently reading a murder mystery procedural of a detective on leave who has decided to investigate on his own the murder of Father Pantone, because it was his friend who he was visiting when he discovered the crime scene: Only The Holy Remain by Alverne Ball. So far it’s checking off the tropes I like and it’s tossed in a job I don’t think I’d read about before, a military chaplain.

I refuse to get off this romance train I’ve been on since around 2016 and am loving Alexis Daria’s A Lot Like Adiós. And my fantastic memoir streak continues as I just finished the excellent audiobook for Somebody’s Daughter by Ashley C. Ford.

And a few authors I really like have upcoming books I am THE most excited to have gotten my greedy little hands on galleys: Secret Identity by Alex Segura; Silent Parade by Keigo Higashino; The New Girl by Jesse Q. Sutanto. I squealed for each one!
