Reblogged – My Favorite and Least Favorite Books of 2024
Everyone talks about their favourite read of the year. So this one caught my attention. It was also nice because I had read the least favourite, and to some extent agree.

All the books I read in 2024 and the One I Loved The Best!
I read some excellent books last year and most of them were apocalyptic. Eighty-two of them. More than last year. One thing I discovered during the year is that a book can have errors, yet still be a damn good yarn. I’ve read several like that and when a story is so good, it really… Continue reading All the books I read in 2024 and the One I Loved The Best!

Brief Description - a time traveller runs into trouble and gets arrested in the present day. This is my kind of short story. I loved it!

Review of Best Served Cold by David J. Gatward
Brief Description - in a small Yorkshire village, murder comes to visit. DCI Harry Grimm is on the case. If you have read my review of the first book, I talked about the extra long sentences.
