What Are You Reading?
My reading/listening choices are weird as usual. I finished listening to Leah Remini’s TROUBLEMAKER, and I just started A WOMAN IS NOT MAN by Etaf Rum. I know, I know, very eclectic selections. My interests tend to bounce around.
My next book on Kindle is THIEF RIVER FALLS by Brian Freeman, but I may put that aside for a light, fun romance to change things up.
What are you reading?

I was reading Death on the Danube – a recent, fun, little mystery set in Budapest – but then Silver’s new book – Fighting for Elena – dropped yesterday, so I’m reading that before I go back to the mystery. After that, who knows? So many books to choose from.
Let me know how you like that Remini book. I’ve watched her show on Scientology and I might be interested in her book if it’s any good. =o)

Thanks, B.E.! 💖 I’m currently doing a desultory re-listen to Ilona Andrews’s Kate Daniels series. It’s been 2 years since I listened to the whole thing. I say desultory because I have holds at the library and I stop to listen to the library books so I can return them. Waiting lists, you know. Books of note that I’ve listened to recently:
Karen Hawkins: LOVE IN THE AFTERNOON. Magic realism set in her Dove Pond series. I 💕 this series! It’s like drinking sweet tea on a shady porch and breathing in warm, magnolia-scented air.
Milla Vane, A HEART OF BLOOD AND ASHES. Fantasy. Dark and dirty and violent. Not for the faint of heart, but she sucked me into her world and I loved her H/h. This book is why I’m back on Kate Daniels. Convoluted path–Vane had a novella set in her HBA world published in the NIGHT SHIFT anthology with Andrews, Nalini Singh, and Lisa Shearin. After listening to the anthology, I realized I missed Kate and Curran, hence the re-listen. 🤣
Also just finished J. Frost’s WICKED BITE. It was okay. Other’s mileage may vary. Me? I was glad I got it from the library.
Must write words before I get to indulge in other people’s stories today.
Happy Humpy Reading Day, y’all!

I’m currently reading Melissa de la Cruz’s The Queen’s Assassin. It’s pretty good.
I’m also reading Peter Schweizer’s Secret empires : how the American political class hides corruption and enriches family and friends. It’s amazing how corrupt people are :(.
I’ve been thinking about reading Leah’s book for a while now. Do you like it?
I hope you are having a great day!

B.E., I have Silver’s book on my Kindle too
I pretty much listened nonstop to Leah Remini’s book. I think it was good, she’s very clear that this is her point of view, and seems very honest. I watched the first two seasons of her Scientology show too. I’m not sure there’s anything new in the book, but it gave a bit more in depth about what Scientology meant to her, and why, which I found fascinating.

Silver, Congrats on the release of FIGHTING FOR ELENA! I bought it today–yesterday Microsoft did an annoying forced update that took a long time, so I didn’t get over to snap up your book until today.
You’ve been reading a lot! I need to get back to reading magic/paranormal series

Viki, hmm, the Queens Assassin sounds familiar, but I didn’t recognize the cover when I looked it up. I’ll have to check on my Kindle to see if I read it.
I liked Leah’s book more than I expected too. As I told B.E., I felt she gave a more complete picture of how she and her mom and sister became involved in Scientology and what she was getting from it at the time. I didn’t feel there were any surprises, it just gave me a deeper understanding.
