A Bit Of My Week In Reading

Runner (Cass Raines #4) by Tracy Clark

I downloaded this SO fast as soon as I got access to an egalley. It’s the latest book in a great PI series set in Chicago–so if you want a mystery marathon from here until its June release start reading Broken Places (review), which is currently $2.99 in ebook!

I’m currently finishing Arsenic and Adobo (Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery #1) by Mia P. Manansala which should be on all cozy mystery fans TBR, especially if you like mouth watering food descriptions, great families, and best friends.

And my streak of picking up/finishing excellent narrative nonfiction and graphic novels continues with my two latest finished books: Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker (Highly recommend the audio/ all the trigger warnings); Heartstopper (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman, Lluís Delgado (Translator) (Highly recommend having the sequel on hand!)
