Robbie Jordan moves to a tiny town after visiting her aunt. She opens a country store called Pans n Pancakes. She then is suspected of murder. The town is where her mother is from and begins to learn a few things about her mom and the dad she never met. That is just a small part of the story. It's a cozy mystery!

I listened to this book on audio. I found it very hard to stay engaged in this. Perhaps already knowing the outcome diminished the story for me, the details provided went into the minutia. The author should not have done the audio - whew his accents were awful.

Saviors of Kamigawa

Good book, wish it had more details, a lot of suspense, overall I would recommend it to certain people.

The Invisible Life Of Addie Larue

book cover


I absolutely loved this book. The storyline is non linear but the plot is extremely creative. Very fun read! It is similar to The Time Traveler’s Wife and Midnight Library. It follows the life of the main character for four hundred years as she is cursed by the deal she makes with the devil.

Two's Company

My sister recommended this book to me! It was pretty good. It had a few twists you didn't see coming. Some of the incidents at the beginning of the book happened to fast for me and I didn't understand. Then the book had a good story with characters you end of liking. I would recommend this book as a light, easy beach read.

Black Sands

This is the story of an abandoned, disfigured baby boy, found covered in bees who has the ability to know the future. The bees remain with him and protect him as he helps the family that raised him cope with the Mexican Revolution and the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918. There are lots of interesting characters and a very engaging storyline.

Amazing book, parts are a little hard to understand when they are not given a backstory such as kanji, ochimusha, and moonfolk.
