Book Lover Gifts in Peepers ~ Fuzzy socks & the Best Books

Historical fiction with style

And a good bit of mystery to keep you turning the pages. How long could you keep a secret – a REALLY BIG SECRET? TJR writes another book filled with mystery, style, and the lengths a determined woman would go to for her dreams.

In this GG book post, will my 20-something read the novel the same way I did? {I’ll leave that a mystery too until you click on over😉} {4.5/5 rating}

Hello BIG FAN of Lucy Foley’s books! –That’s me, I’m the BIG FAN–

And if you love mystery books, I know you’ll LOVE 2/3 of the three books.

The Hunting Party wasn’t my most favorite of the three, but still shares a good mystery. The ending was just a bit mehhhh for me.

Finding mystery books that don’t scare me into checking all the shadowy corners + sleeping with all the lights on in the house can be a struggle. These three have a good mystery without the eerie Stephen King suspense.

{That’s a HARD PASS on King’s suspense thrillers for me! Murder mysteries? Yes. Sewer clowns? HECK. NO}.

Mystery=good reading
Heavy Thrillers/Suspense=If the pages turn to fright night, the book becomes a coffee table decoration

Mystery with a Skoch of Thrill

Have You seen The Maid & Her Sweeping State of Perfection

The Maid, and her sweeping state of perfection! Or rather, have you read The Maid in all her “state of perfection”?

“I’m Molly, Molly the maid…”

Molly Gray works at the Regency Grand Hotel, and enjoys her job of returning every room “to a state of perfection”. She gets some ribbing about this from co-workers, but is cherished by her boss for her meticulousness (plus, she’s never missed a shift).

GG Rating::🍷🍷🍷🍷out of 5 glasses

{I’m a red wine girl, but Molly would change it to a white glass from the Olive Garden.}

Do you remember the book –or movie– Holes? In that book boys were in a labor camp where they had to dig hole after hole looking for a treasure, only coming up empty month after month.

Anxious People started out like that; Lots of holes to dive into with all the characters…Start a chapter and follow the character set-up, only before the character developed, the chapter ended and I’d be sent digging in a new spot.

Curiosity peaked – picked the book up – read three to four chapters….Full review on the Chapter 50 Blog 👇🏼

The story of 9 Anxious People

Summer reading 2022

Are you looking for a tall stack of art to decorate your coffee table? Does your bookshelf need an updated list of literature?

Or - most unlikely - are you traveling to the remote parts of Ellesmere Island in Nunavat, Canada and wishing you brought along these three books?

I won’t read you wrong with these three book reviews.

Be sure you have enough space for the books AND ALL your warm gear to pack to the frigid mountains of Canada. That’s precious packing space needed for long-johns, a heating pad, and a space heater.
