July 2025 Book #7

Second book in this series. I didn‘t like this one as much as the first one. This is more about Stocker and all his family drama. That part I liked, the mystery was okay. But the romance part was stretched out so much that it was almost boring. It still has those funny parts but we are not going to see the same character dynamic in Veronica as we saw in first book. Lest see what happens in book 3. 3/3.5⭐️

July 2025 Book #6

I enjoyed this book. Veronica Speedwell is an assertive, independent woman who will express herself in a direct and honest way. Not so much space to be too sensitive or sentimental. She will get involved in this investigation with someone…It was funny and fast read. 3.8/4⭐️

Gissy I‘m pretty sure I received this book from @mabell long time ago but I didn‘t include the information which I am doing now with my books. Which means I don‘t know the date I received it Thank you 🥰 2h

My five-star reads in June were rereads, so I picked one of my four-star reads instead. The competition was definitely the Solo Leveling manhwa, but... a good mystery series deserves a spotlight. I really liked the setting, and ended up surprisingly keen on the main character, who seems at the start like he'd be stuffy.

I don't know what it means when TWO of your favorite books are not only from the same author from the same series, but they are both books you've read before, but there it is. 🤣🤷‍♀️🤣

IriDas It means you have found your author-soulmate. 😊 11h

Getting a jump on this one…I can‘t count the number of times it‘s been recommended to me, but the size was always intimidating. I‘m going to see how many of them I can listen to in 2026.

Hymn to Dionysus | Natasha Pulley

Pickpick

This book surely needs it's own time, it's very special and different - it's Natasha Pulley writing after all. I guess people who have a deeper knowledge of Greek mythology do get the story on a whole other level than I did. I just really loved seeing how Phaidros' and Dionysus' relationship progressed. While weird stuff is happening.

I hated to end of this novel!Assistant curator of Egyptology,Dr. Lauren Westlake,is in the process of creating an exhibit on Egyptian artifacts including the mummified Hetsumina.So much of the interior settings in the MET are familiar to me which enhanced my reading experience.”Egyptomania”was at the apex in the City after King Tut‘s tomb was discovered.Enter DI Joe Caravello who joins forces with Lauren to uncover a plethora of forgeries.Deceit⬇️

kspenmoll ⬆️ subterfuge, undercurrents of evil abound. Fortunately, romance & found family adds love & hope to the mix. I just discovered there are two more books in this series, one to be published in April 2026 on one (Ivy)of two of Lauren‘s roommates who works at New York Historical Society, & book 2, is about Elsa, an ornithologist who works at the NY Museum of Natural History, (edited) 1d
