pickThis series just keeps getting better. Andy Mills is an amazing character and I was so stressed as he navigated solving this case. The theme of banning books and punishing people for reading diversely is sadly still so relevant. I can‘t recommend this series enough and there is fourth book coming this fall❤️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickThis is the 3rd book in Rosen‘s Evander Mills series. I highly recommend these on audio as Vikas Adam‘s narration is spot on for the 1950 noir vibes. This one feels timely with book banning and government censorship. I continue to love the recurring characters in this series, along with Andy.
Finished February 9, 2025.
February #wrapup
9 read + 1 DNF:
1 short story
1 graphic novel
3 audiobooks
3 children‘s book
1 non-fiction
My pick for February is Rough Pages. It‘s the third book in the Evander Mills series, which I continue to enjoy.
Someday I‘m going to finish those carry over books. 🙂
pickNot as successful as the second book in this series (still waiting on the first one from interlibrary loan) but a good read nonetheless. Really enjoy these characters and the concept of the series.

pickRosen does a swell job evoking classic 1950s film noir vibes while filling the story with a diverse queer cast and a complicated gay ex-cop P.I. reckoning with the implications of his past career. The themes -- book banning, government censorship, the utter importance of queer people seeing themselves reflected in books -- are beautifully evoked. Highly recommended as a puzzling mystery and a richly imagined 1950s San Francisco historical fiction.
pickVery twisty. I love this series & Vikas Adam‘s audio narration is so perfect for the 1950s film noir vibe. This ties in to the importance of storytelling & atrocious book bans. & as always I love Andy adapting to & growing his life.
