I've not read the original book that inspired this one, but it was an interesting retelling of the famous tale.

Fun little mystery with an backdrop of knitting, a little witch craft and vampires. Read book 1 first for more background. Made me want to go out and get yarn to start a new project!

This is like the TV show "Only Murders in the Building" but takes place in a European retirement village instead of a NYC high rise. Enjoyable, but you definitely need to be paying attention for all the twists and turns with the multitude of characters.

A delightful geeky novel from the brilliant John Scalzi (and of course an entertaining narration by Wil Wheaton). The book is original, unexpected, clever and most importantly, entertaining.

Racy, NSFW, romance with a magical twist. Quite entertaining. A couple story lines that didn't get resolved, but maybe that's next in the series?

Am impressive woman and a well-written story. This woman fundamentally changed the way we eat.
The first person perspective was annoying at first, but the story was so engaging I was able to mostly ignore it later.

Not terrible, but not awesome. The language is very 'in-character" but annoying to read, the story is fine but a bit disjointed. Not sure if I'll invest time in the 3rd book. Maybe it'll redeem the series?

I love time travel-ish books. This one was a fun twist. Just be sure to suspend disbelief and let yourself just enjoy it. I did.

Enjoyable historical fiction based in late 1800s gold mining in California with a bit of women's rights and workers rights. A tad slow at times, but a solid story.
