pickAnother great mystery in this series. Roxane is slightly less of a mess which was nice. The mystery is very believable with lots of suspects. Definitely a fun read. We get less of her brothers, which was the one thing I missed. Still, a great read that I stayed up late to finish.
pickBook 2 in the Roxane Weary mystery series set in Columbus, OH. I really like this series! So glad I have books 3 & 4 to look forward to, and hopefully there will be more.
I found lots of good Kindle daily deals and monthly deals today. There are two more monthly deals that I want but I'll wait a week or two on those.

I loved the first one for a) being an awesome mystery with a great, complicated lead and b) allowing me to play Spot the Places You Know. This one hits me in the hometown feels before it even starts.
Kristen Lepionka is an automatic read for me! Love her kick butt P.I. Roxane Weary. #LitsyAtoZ. #TheletterW
pickWhat a book!! I loved everything about it! PI Roxane Weary is definitely one of my favourite fictional characters now. I also loved the complex characterization of her on-again off-again girlfriend Catherine, her (sort of?) ex Tom, a queer teen girl befriended in book 1, and all the secondary characters. This detective plot was complicated, layered, and a little hard for me to keep track of at times--keeping me on my toes! Murder and fraud!
"I needed a change of scenery. I walked over to the Olde Towne Tavern, where I sat at a table on the patio with a drink, a basket of nachos, and the county property databases, like the party animal I was."
Ha! Have I mentioned I love Roxane? Also, feeling pretty sleepy at this juncture in the #readathon.
"It's just that everyone should have somebody who makes things easier and not harder."
Roxane is tough and screwed up, but she also has a heart of gold. She says this to a queer teenager she befriended in book one who she is now a "surrogate cool aunt" to. #readathon
Tea in my dad's sheep mug and the last two bites of a Halloween ghost cookie. Mmm delicious. Also this mystery is getting curiouser and curiouser. #Readathon
Okay I took a very long break this afternoon and evening from the #readathon to hang out with my family, but here is a belated picture of me reading and eating BC ferries food. And now I'm gonna get back to reading!
My second #readathon book and the second book in the Roxane Weary PI series. I am loving it already! I love Roxane. She runs into her ex-girlfriend at a museum while tailing someone and "I did the mature thing and hid behind a sculpture made of chicken wire and fake fruit." Haha. #BisexualBooks #QueerBooks
pickRoxane Weary is such a dynamic character, and I loved spending time in her world. The mystery felt a little complicated with lots of related characters. At times, I had a hard time keeping them straight. And I was confused by their ages often. Still, the resolution was satisfying, and I can't wait for more Roxane.
Recovering from gum graft surgery yesterday by watching great tennis and reading a mystery during commercials.
pickA solid second book in the series. I really like Roxane Weary and all her imperfections. It makes her that much more relatable in how she struggles to figure out where she fits in with her family, job and relationships. I do wish I had a better memory of book 1 since there were so many references to her relationships from it. Regardless, these books are now part of my "must read" when then come out.
Today‘s #bookmail was a good one! Romance by @EloisaJames , horror/sci-fi that I read (and loved!) but was waiting for the paperback, and a second in a mystery series I started last week. 🙌
pickExcellent! I love this series so far and I can‘t wait to read the next one next year.

pickExcellent. If you want a new P.I. series to look forward to every year, this is it. Roxane Weary is a great character
Evening reading. I really enjoyed the first book in this series. ♥️
Sunday afternoon exhale.
{Yes, I totally just got back into my pajamas after church.}
My brain no compute spring forward so I cracked open a book I've been looking forward to. I love when you liked a character so much that it feels like revisiting a friend when you get another in the series. (The goat is off camera eating a palm frond bc she's a freaking goat.)
