I just finished reading the first book in this series, Murder by Memory, and I immediately picked up the second in the series – this one. To summarise the premise of this series, Dorothy is a ship’s detective on board the Fairweather, a massive space ship travelling for 1000 years to a new planet with 10 000 people on board. Everyone on the ship has a body and also a book in the Library. The … Continue reading Nobody’s Baby by Olivia Waite →
I try not to pigeonhole myself too much as a reader. While cosy as a descriptor in general tends to make me feral with irritation, there are exceptions and this book is definitely an exception. I was delighted when my library hold for this book arrived, even though I couldn’t remember what led me to place that hold. Perhaps it’s the combination of sci fi, mystery, and cosy that made me curious. Dorothy Gentleman is … Continue reading Murder by Memory by Olivia Waite →

I am always delighted to find new-to-me historical romance authors and this one is a treat. I started mid-series, which isn’t ideal, but I followed the story with glee. I will, however, be going back and starting with the first book because this series has so much Lara catnip. You all know I’m a bit of a blurb hater at this point, but this one did a good job, so I’ll share it here: Ivy … Continue reading Never Spar With a Viscount by Lindsay Lovise →

This HaBO is from Annie, who wants to find this Harlequin/Mills & Boon title: I read this medical romance as a young and sheltered teenager in the 1980s(!), but can’t for the life of me recall the title or the author. It was a Harlequin or Mills & Boon romance set in south India, which was different enough that it stuck with me over the years. The nurse (can’t remember her name) was of Indian … Continue reading HaBO: Medical Romance Set in South India →

And based on deer man, is the guy behind him a magic skunk with the white? Cover has flowers, fire, shrubs, a cave, library shelves and books. Plus random mismatched fonts. Jeez. Sarah: Left dude and Center dude have the same Cut and Paste face, right? RIGHT? (It’s freaking … Continue reading Cover Snark: Jazz Hands →
