My 2023 Reading Challenge

I wanted to read 45 books in 2023 and instead, I read 105! I’m impressed by this accomplishment, even though several of the books would be more accurately described as novellas. I’m still very much a physical book reader, but I discovered that I love reading in the dark, and to do that, I need…

The Chestnut Man

I finished The Chestnut Man, an Advanced Readers Edition I received about 4 years ago, on New Year’s Eve, just in time to make it my 105th book read in 2023! It has been a while since I read a good thriller, and this was indeed good! I was engaged from the outset, though it…

Paranoia

© Frohmberg 2015, 2023       It only bothers me late at night. Sunshine alleviates any qualms I have about getting into my car, but late at night – that’s a different story. I walk around my Neon, checking for flats, scratches, and signs that someone is in my car, maliciously waiting. All I can think…

My Current Read

As it turns out, I know practically nothing about this man outside of the kidnapping/murder of his son. I’m only 12% in and I’m hooked. Have you read this?

The Count of Monte Cristo

This has been on my TBR list for decades, not sure why it’s taken so long to read… and I’m still reading it. It’s a beast of a book! I read somewhere that Dumas was paid per line or page and it shows. I’m about 45% into this Kindle version of The Count of Monte…

Lincoln Lawyer Books

I just finished book four. I originally started the series because I thought the new series on Netflix was going to go in the order of the books. I was wrong. The Lincoln Lawyer movie stays with the book fairly well. The Netflix show takes a lot of liberties, many of which I am not…

Off with her head!

Another delightful book by one of my favorite authors, Eleanor Herman. I’m not finished with this book yet, but so far I would describe it as a history of how women are demonized for behaving in the same manner as men in the same position or with the same ambition. As always, I appreciate Herman’s…

Death and Violence

My love for true crime and detective fiction is no secret. Currently, I’m making my way through Louise Penny’s Gamache book series, “City Homicide” an Australian tv series, and the new Perry Mason mini-series on HBO (not to mention countless other shows I find myself streaming). I used to have a physical reaction to gore;…
