Hello, hello!

booknook is (again) tossing its hat in the ring for

You might have completely forgotten to check it out at all, even though you're the admin and you really should have. So let's do this again! <3

I Recently Finished Reading: When the Moon Hits Your Eye by John Scalzi
A Book I Want to Reread: I’m not one to reread, so none at the moment.
Some Published Titles From My To Be Read List: James by Percival Everett, Apocalypse Cow by Michael Logan
A Book Not-Yet-Published I'm Excited About: Brigands and Breadknives by Travis Baldree, both Michael Connelly books due to release this year.
Related Book News I've Got My Eye On: (adaptations etc.) The Apple TV adaptation of the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells looks like it’ll be fun.

My All-Time Favorite Book(s): Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.
My Favorite Book Genre(s): Mystery, thriller, cozy mystery, fantasy, sci-fi, cozy fantasy, and (more specifically), hockey or cowboy romances.
A Book I Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): For sci-fi, anything by John Scalzi. Man is hilarious. Starter Villain is one of my favorites. Mysteries I like Kathy Reichs’ Temperance Brennan series, for hockey romances I love Rachel Reid. I know this is vague, but I went with authors I know consistently produce quality work.
A Book I Don't Recommend in My Favorite Genre(s): Yeesh, I have no idea.
A Genre I'm Interested in Trying Out: I don’t read as much sci-fi as I think I might enjoy, so it’s something I’d like to delve into more, along with speculative fiction.

Link to My Latest Book Review: My reviews are all on my Wordpress blog, but the last thing I reviewed (that wasn’t a cookbook) is here
Link to My Reading Log: I don’t really have one online, but you can friend me on Storygraph, if you’d like, I’m asphaltcowgrrl there as well.

Books/Genres I'm Interested in Discussing/Chatting About: I’ll chat about anything, even if it’s a genre I’m not generally into. Because I’m always up for a good story.

I read "James" last month and loved it! Definitely recommend it :)
Also still need to read the two books Travis Baldree has already published, I hear so many good things about them.

I also love mysteries and thrillers - which one was your latest favourite from either of those?
And I would like to be friends if you're game? My own comment is here: https://booknook.dreamwidth.org/37093.html?thread=645093#cmt645093

Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are two of my favorite books, so James is a must read for me! Glad t hear you liked it.

If you do audiobooks, Travis Baldree does a fantastic job narrating.

For mysteries, I've been reading a series by Sally Rigby - Cavendish & Walker - that puts a police detective together with a college professor (I think she's a psychology lecturer). They're really good mysteries and the partnership between the two women is amazing.

For thrillers, Coming to Find You by Jane Corry was pretty intense!
