The Resting Place -Camilla Sten ( Book 30 of 2022)

Now that I am semi back into the swing of writing blog posts, I’ll first try to write about the books that I am currently reading, or just finished. With that being said, I just finished The Resting Place by Camilla Sten and it was really, really good! The Resting Place is Camilla Sten’s second novel. The first was internationally acclaimed The Lost Village. Rights for The Lost Village have been sold to 17 territories around the world including film and TV. And based on The Resting Place I’m sure it’s terrific! In fact I just checked the Ebook version out…

The Boy from the Woods -Harlan Coben delivers again!

Ok so this blog is titled FreeWheelin’ Book and Music Safari and so far in 2021 I have not written about any books! The reason I haven’t written  about any of the book I’ve  been reading is that I’ve been writing about my 30-day folk music challenge. However, I have been reading, all be it at a slower pace than typical during the winter months. So far, I have finished three books. I finished The Boy From the Woods by Harlan Coben yesterday afternoon. It’s book number 3 for 2021. The  book is a stand alone novel and not part of…

Balancing Reading and Writing And Riley Sager’ Home Before Dark

Reading, Listening and Writing – How Can I Balance It All ? What I am discovering over the last few days is that as I write more and more posts, I am reading less and less. And I am not thrilled about that trade-off. Saying that, if I read four more books in the remainder of November and December. I will have read 52 books in 2020. That of course is one book a week and I think that’s pretty good. However, my goal was 60 books and I would like to get a little closer to that goal. So over…

Alex Kava – Hidden Creed (Ryder #6) Her Best Yet?

Hidden Creed - Alex Kava

In Hidden Creed (Ryder Creed #6) -Alex Kava Ok so I am not a dog person, we have always had cats. Having said that, Alex Kava’s Ryder Creed series makes me realize how many cool things dogs can do that cats can’t or won’t do! Hidden creed is book number 41 for the year. It is the sixth book in the series and may be the best yet! I have been reading Alex Kava’s books since 2005, the year I read the first Maggie O’Dell book A Perfect Evil.

A Scourge of Vipers – Bruce DeSilva September’s First Read

So I’ve recently been recapping the six books that I read in August. So far I’ve only written about two of the books. Well, today I finished my first book  I have read in September and the 40th book I’ve read in 2020. Now, rather than not writing anything about books until I’m caught up writing about the books I read in August, I thought I’d write about book 40 while it’s still fresh in my memory! The 40th book I’ve finished this year is A Scourge of Vipers by Bruce DeSilva. It is book four in DSilva’s series featuring…

My August Reads Start in Spain with Peter May’s A Silent Death

A Silent Death - Peter May

While on many days in August it was too hot to run, I did get a lot of books read! I read six books in August and while that’s not a lot for many readers it’s a good amount for me. One of the questions I like to ask, when I’m summarizing the books I’ve read is: “where did my reading take me?”. Well in August it was to a variety of locales, including outer space. My first stop was southern Spain! A Silent Death – Peter May Goodreads   Amazon I requested this book from my library in January…

The Chestnut Man Ends My 2019 Reading Year.

The Chestnut MAN

I have read  books by both Thor and Dorsey previously, more from Thor than Dorsey. In the early 2000s I read the first 7 books in Thor’s Scot Harvath series. Use of Force is book 17 in the series that now consists of 19 books. While I did enjoy the book, I thought it dragged in several places. I didn’t think it was a page turner which is what I always thought was typical for the first seven books. So while I may not search out another of  Thor’s books from the library, I do have at least one book The Apostle…

November Reads – Part One – Providence Rag

Providence-Rag-Bruce-DeSilva205

After reading five books in October I only read three books in December. Reading fewer books over the last three months of the year has typical for most years since I began keeping track of what I read in the late 1980s. I think it’s a result of all four sports being played during those months. So I’m watching more sports instead of reading. Over the last few weeks my wife and I have been babysitting our grandchildren Zoe and Logan more often. Consequently, that cuts down on the free time I have to read. Anyway, the three books that…
