Welcome to Marjay's Reading Blog

A Mix of Books TBR this month

As most of you know, a lot of the books I read come from Net Galley. That means they are books that are soon to come out or books that have already come out recently or books that are soon to come out.  That also means that the books I choose might not be my cup of tea.  I do try to avoid those but at times the success rate is limited.  As long as my reading rate stays above a certain percentage, Net Galley and I are cool.  

November choices this year are a mixed bag!   

The First Ladies’ Guide to Murder by Amanda Flower 11/24

Tell Me You Love Me by Ella Quinn 11/24

To Crown it All  by Rhys Bowen 11/17

Birth of a Witch by Nora Roberts 11/17

You, Me and the Conspiracy by Emma Barry  11/10

Peregrine Hill by Nina De Gramont 11/10

Murder of a Merry Gentleman by Celeste Connally 11/10

Thunderbird Ranch by Laura Griffin 11/10

I have already jumped into reading with Murder of a Merry Gentleman, a historical cozy mystery and Thunderbird Ranch, a contemporary thriller.  (Reviews are published already) 

Peregrine Hill by Nina De Gramont 11/10 is a gilded age novel.  The story line moves though having to save your family and find your way in a world filled with men who control you.  

You, Me and the Conspiracy by Emma Barry  11/10 is called a contemporary academic adventure with romance.  (How can I resist that!) The goal of the two professors is to find and stop a deadly secret society.  It sounds like National Treasure or Indiana Jones!  

Birth of a Witch by Nora Roberts 11/17 is a contemporary fantasy with a witch gaining her power at 13, Neve McShane, and learning about her power.  Meanwhile darkness needs to be stopped.  It’s Nora Roberts – so you know it will be fabulous!  

To Crown it All  by Rhys Bowen 11/17 is an historical mystery.  Lady Georgiana Rannoch is not a close member of the royal family, however she is expected to participate in the Coronation ceremony for the new Queen. On top of that Georgiana has convinced her mother to come to England for the Royal events and brings a man who is determined to follow her every step.  Then someone is killed in her house!  Georgiana and her friend Darcy have a lot to figure out!

Tell Me You Love Me by Ella Quinn 11/24 is a historical romance between Walter Carpenter and Catherine Statford.  Both have been told by their families to marry soon, however there are secrets, reluctant participants and lots of other young people eager to wed that interfer.  .

The First Ladies’ Guide to Murder by Amanda Flower 11/24 is about two first ladies who band together to discover where a missing piece of jewelry went and who killed Kitty. The first ladies are Frances Cleveland and Julie Grant. So a historical mystery.  

Elise has been equally busy this week!  She sent in an  interview with Dianne Freeman and her newest book, A Christmas Guide to Family and Murder.  The book is sure to be a fun read.  She also sent in a book review of First Chance by Kasey Lansdale.  There is a large knife on the front to catch your attention!  

Enjoy reading this week.
