Review: The Wrong Side of Goodbye by Michael Connelly

Michael Connelly does it again...you cannot go wrong with Harry Bosch! If you haven't read his series yet you should start today...especially if you are considering watching the TV show based on the books. (Pretty well done for the most part)

These books are always entertaining and action packed. They capture your interest in the first chapter and they don't let it go. You will not be disappointed with The Wrong Side of Goodbye, you will want to stay up all night and read this one from start to finish!

Despite being "retired" from the LAPD Harry Bosch cannot let police work go. It's in his blood and he feels the need to continue it even during his retirement. Harry is working at a smaller police department on reserve, sans pay, in this book and he becomes instrumental in a rape case that has been upsetting life in the small town. He also has renewed his police license and is involved in finding an heir for a rich billionaire that dies under suspicious circumstances.

Both cases are intriguing and keep you guessing, and turning pages as fast as you can to find out what happens next! Start this series today if you haven't already. Rated 4/5 stars on Goodreads.

Chicken Quest

I have been wanting chickens for years and years, but I am a city girl and chickens didn't seem like something I could have. But I was wrong! In November 2018 our city council passed a chicken ordinance and suddenly my chicken dreams seemed like they could come true! I spent last winter reading everything I could find about chickens and researching everything having to do having chickens in the city, and what types of coops would be best. Our local pet store orders chicks from a local hatchery, and I decided to get chicks from the May shipment. I read about each of the types of chicks in that shipment and decided to get an assortment. After confirming with the neighbors that they wouldn't object to chickens, I ordered five chicks (the maximum amount allowed by our city accordance). I decided to order two Dominiques, one Colombian Wyandotte, one Calico Princess and one Midnight Majesty Maran. Step one of the chicken quest was underway, so I started to fill out...

First Star I See Tonight by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

First Star I See Tonight is a satisfying addition to the Chicago Stars series. Cooper Graham has just retired as the quarterback when he meets private investigator Piper. Their relationship starts off with a mutual dislike that quickly turns into one full of sparks. Watching Cooper and Piper navigate the waters is fascinating and entertaining. In the end Cooper lays it all on the line in order to win his biggest game ever...a happily ever after. I highly recommend both the series and the book. Thanks to Edelweiss for the Advanced Reader's Copy! Also, thanks to LibraryReads for chosing my review for their August list! Click here to see what else librarians recommend for August.

Favorite Author Alert - Julia Quinn

I have a handful of favorite authors, well really more like two giant handfuls. I have a lot of favorite authors! Anyhow, one of my many favorites has to include Julia Quinn. It won’t be a surprise to some of you that historical romance novels are some of my favorite. I love anything that includes a Lord or a Duke or a Countess. Julia Quinn’s novels have all of that and more. Start with the Bridgerton series, the first one is The Duke and I . Quinn’s latest novel is called Because of Miss Bridgerton . It sucked me in on the first page and didn’t let me go until I had finished it on my lunch break at work. My Review: Julia Quinn does it again. I loved her Bridgerton series and the idea that it continues on in this new series featuring the Rokesby brothers was beyond exciting to me. The two families are dear friends and everyone has always expected that Billie would marry one of the brothers, probably Andrew or Edw...
