I flew through The Crimson Moth duology and it was great. It's how a duology should end. Fun for the Whole Family is an ode to functional/dysfunctional families and road trips!

Quite the variety in the last 2 weeks and that includes being on vacation, which meant no audiobook. We were on a baseball trip with my son's varsity team to FL and shared a house with our friends, so not a lot of ready was had. I have to say The Five Star Weekend was my first and last Elin Hildebrand; I just don't think she's for me. Deep Cuts was a surprise for me because music books can go really well or not for me but this one hit the sweet spot.

Looking Forward To:

There is nothing like starting a book and finishing a book in the same day and it was entertaining and a little dark. Not my usual vibe but sometimes you need to voyage out of those comfort zone. We leave later this week for vacation and I can't wait to get some reading, relaxing and baseball in! 

Review Quickies

I don't think words can express how much I loved this sequel. I felt for Inez as she wrestled with her feelings for Whit and wondering if she could really trust him. It's not only Whit but looking for her dupicitious mother and dealing with the death of her cousin. There is a lot of adventure, romance and history in these pages. It definitely has the feel of The Mummy. I finished this book a couple weeks ago and it still takes up space in my head. 

I can't miss an installment of Finlay's adventures.  I know at some point this series will need to come to an end but I'm thankful it doesn't seem to be with this one. For once, Finlay and Vero aren't in the middle of something illegal, instead they are trying to solve a crime. All the regular characters are here with some additions taking center stage. Mrs. Haggerty was a fantastic support character to have the focus on. And well Sylvia is always good for a bunch of laughs. Plus Nick is a saint.

Elle Cosimano can write Finlay forever because those books and their antics crack me up. The 5th installment was no different. Chris Bohjalian takes us to the Civil War and while that's not my favorite historical era, he wrote a fantastic novel about bravery and kindness.

Another great 2 weeks of books. Obviously, Abby Jimenez can do no wrong and this short story was great. Last week I did some quick reviews, so take a look at them.
