Book of the Month: Crocodile on the Sandbank
A bit of The Mummy, a bit of a stand-alone Agatha Christie, the adventures of Amelia Peabody feature a plain, spinster along the lines of Jane Eyre. Albeit a more sprightly Jane Eyre what with the shooting, escavating and mummy-hunting. Let me back up a bit with the death of Amelia’s father, she decides to…

Book of the Month: The Great Alone
Ah the great Alaskan wilderness, a place to reconnect to nature. Or in Hannah’s novel, a place where family demons come to tear them apart with no chance for help in the middle of a blizzard. Aka a nightmare in my thinking.

Gotham City Sirens (2024)
It’s been years since their original series and in teh decades since fans have been clamoring for the return of Gotham’s most famous villainesses. Finally the DC gods have heard their pleas with a 4 issue mini-series. It was. . . okay. Now I’m not a regular DC comic reader so maybe there have been…

Book of the Month: Hemlock Island
Yep, we’re already on the next book of the month. It was a quick read thanks to Armstrong’s exciting cliffhangers and short chapters that make one want to keep going, and going until it’s 2 in the morning and the mystery is revealed. The titular Hemlock Island is owned by author/writer, Laney. Well the cabin…
