That's what I have read or listened to in the past couple of weeks.
I still don't have much focus for whatever reason. But there are some hints of my normal showing through. Facebook party tonight for Krista Davis' latest book: The Diva Spices it Up. Tomorrow night, my genealogy club is having our monthly meeting via Zoom. Will see how that goes. I saw the libraries here may open up in the next couple of weeks, I think at reduced capacity, but I am excited to get back to some of my extracurricular activities.
What have I read this month...let's see.
Open House Heist by Carolyn Ridder Aspenson: Cozy. A series I like about Lily Sprayberry, realtor.
"You solve new murders and uncover old crimes,
but can you save someone from doing hard time?
To return what was lost, solve my riddle at all costs.
Travel back to ’83 and the murder of a girl from Forsyth County.
The note sat inside an empty lock box on the dining room table of Bramblett County realtor Lily Sprayberry’s open house listing. A lockbox that formerly contained an expensive coin collection she promised would remain safe.
Lily knows the person that wrote the note meant it for her and knows she needs to do what it says to get the coin collection back.
Determined to solve the thirty-six-year-old murder, Lily discovers the clues lead her to a possible killer she’d never suspect, someone near and dear to her heart."
Beating About the Bush: Agatha Raisin #30. I listened to this. Another hilarious Agatha adventure with her assistant Toni, Roy, Bill Wong and never ending trouble with romance. The narrator for this book, Penelope Keith, is excellent.
My Skull Possession by Lisa M. Miller: A Young Adult novel. I really liked it.

"When private detective Agatha Raisin comes across a severed leg in a roadside hedge, it looks like she is about to become involved in a particularly gruesome murder. Looks, however, can be deceiving, as Agatha discovers when she is employed to investigate a case of industrial espionage at a factory where nothing is quite what it seems.
My Skull Possession by Lisa M. Miller: A Young Adult novel. I really liked it.
"Readers are dying to get their hands on a copy of My Skull Possession. Literally.
Brighton Corley's ordinary teenage life becomes far more thrilling when she forges a friendship with Kate Dorn, the charming new girl at school. Together with an eccentric curiosity shop owner, they embark on a journey to discover the truth behind the mysterious book responsible for paralyzing their town with fear and fascination. Witchcraft, haunted dolls, and stories of possession are some of the dark secrets they uncover in their search for answers.
As book sales soar and death tolls rise, Brighton wonders if My Skull Possession is the result of a twisted marketing scheme or if it has aa connection to something more sinister."
Pretty Little Fliers by Erin Johnson: Cozy Paranormal, Magic Market Mysteries #1: cute, fun first in a series. I won a copy on Audible of this book.
"She talks to the animals. But when they witness a murder, who will squawk first? Cursed and almost powerless, Jolene’s definitely down on her magical luck. Forced to disguise her taboo shifter abilities, she barely makes ends meet by working as a pretend pet psychic. So she eagerly says, “Oui,” to a job securing testimony from a parakeet that watched a woman’s fatal fall. Teaming up with a true blue police officer and his lie-sniffing German Shepherd, Jolene works hard to hunt down suspects. But with an after-hours affair, a disgruntled neighbor, and risqué photos all seemingly connected to the crime, untangling the truth is bound to get hairy. Can Jolene protect her cover and pluck out the clues before she falls from grace?
Pretty Little Fliers is the first book in the delightful Magic Market paranormal cozy mystery series. If you like charming characters, picturesque French settings, and spellbinding twists and turns, then you’ll love Erin Johnson’s pet-friendly tale."
Naked Truth: Or Equality, the Forbidden Fruit by Carrie Hayes. Historical fiction. Looks like a sequel is coming. Pretty interesting with pictures of the real characters in the story and newspaper articles from the events in the story. (some adult situations).
"From Washington Heights to Washington D.C. comes a true American Herstory. Filled with intrigue, lust, and betrayal, this is the fight for sexual equality. t starts with the seduction of the richest man in America. Next, they'll take New York City and the suffragist movement by storm, because together, Tennessee and Victoria are a force of nature. Boldly ambitious, they stop at nothing, brushing shoulders with Harriet Beecher Stowe and Susan B. Anthony, using enough chutzpah to make a lady blush. That is, until their backstabbing family takes them to court, and their carefully spun lives unravel, out in public and in the press.
Told from shifting points-of-view and using actual news reportage from the era, Naked Truth is a riveting inside look into the struggle for women’s rights after the Civil War."
Whew! I guess I have read/listened to more books than I thought. Still feeling scattered...
Looks like you've been listening/reading a bunch. Good for you. Yes, it would be nice for the libraries to open again, but I'm thinking our favorite one may be a while on down the line. Can't figure out how they would do that percentage. Guess we'll see.
