Good afternoon and how are we all?
Soooo, I’ve begun this year’s reading challenge – an Alphabet Challenge. I’m going to start with ‘A’ and work down to ‘Z’. So far…
A.)
One hundred sixteen years later, two backcountry guides are hired by a history professor and his journalist daughter to lead them to the abandoned mining town so they can learn what happened. Recently, a similar party had also attempted to explore the town and was never heard from again. Now the area is believed to be haunted. This crew is about to discover, twenty miles from civilization with a blizzard bearing down, that they are not alone, and the past is very much alive.
Very interesting book. Kept me on the edge of my seat. The end was really… unexpected. Makes me want to read more of this author.
There are a series of these. The Zombie, is a sweetheart.
B)
I’ve had this book since 2012 and I figured it was about time I read it! Glad I did. Humorous, deep, and serious as once, I enjoyed it! Now to get the other 8…
And last this month…
C.)
Some years back – probably 9 years – someone gave me a hardcover of the 9th book in this series. I enjoyed it and have been on the hunt for the rest. I finally broke down and started buying them one at a time from Amazon. I believe there are 14 or 15. Amanda Pepper is a private high school English teacher whose assistant is discovered dead at Amanda’s home. I love her interaction with her coworkers and the police of Philadelphia. Written in language pretty much everyone should understand – i.e. – lighthearted and realistic – I remembered why I liked this author so many years ago.
Which leaves me at D – The Deadliest Sin – the last of the Crispin Guest series. (Which is making me very sad!) I will start it this afternoon.
4 books – although one of them shouldn’t count – during the month of January. Not so bad at all!
