Happy Friday, everyone! Another weekend is here. It’s cold. There’s snow. And its perfect for bundling up with some great books!
There’s going to be less cracking a book open for the first time this weekend and more finishing the half-dozen books I’ve started over the last week. A number of them are almost done, and I can’t wait to get to the end! So without further ado, here’s what’s on my reading agenda this weekend.
More …
Her Final Confession(Detective Josie Quinn #4)Josie, you should have known you weren’t the only one with crazy secrets to hide. Although, I agree, I would have never thought Gretchen’s secret was this insane. I just thought Gretchen was one of those private, quiet characters. I’m sure most readers thought the same.
Her Mother's Grave (Detective Josie Quinn #3)Well here we go with more of Josie Quinn’s attitude and more of Lisa Regan’s fantastic plot twists.
My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Vol 1Isekai and otome combine in 2019’s manga My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!

The Girl With No Name (Detective Josie Quinn #2)Okay I’m back and so is Josie Quinn. And frankly, I’m sure at this point Josie Quinn wouldn’t like me either.
Still, she remains a bad ass detective determined to doing the right thing like saving people, helping them get justice and ending corruption in her town. Is she still a catty woman, unable to let go of the past and someone that drinks way too much? Yes. Do I still dislike that about her? You bet.
Last Ones Left AliveDebut author Sarah Davis-Goff brings us a standalone novel titled Last Ones Left Alive, a unique take on what happens when a sheltered young woman has to suddenly face the post-apocalypse alone. This novel is set in a post-apocalyptic Ireland, a place filled with zombie-like creatures called skrake. Orpen’s early life was sheltered, having been raised by her mother and Maeve on an uninfested island off the Irish coast. But now her mother’s gone, and Maeve is gravely ill. Determined, angry, and searching for her identity in the remnants of the world, Orpen takes Maeve to Ireland on a journey to find a rumored city and the banshees—the all-women fighting force that’s fought the skrake for generations.
Vanishing Girls (Detective Josie Quinn #1)I dislike Josie Quinn. Not the story, but her. And let’s discuss why I dislike her.
The plot and twists and turns, while sometimes unbelievable and most-likely actually impossible (legally speaking anyway) in reality, were enjoyable. You know what isn’t enjoyable? Josie Quinn herself.
