The Cookbook Collector looks like a story I'd like. I hope your book group enjoys it. I've heard good things about the Cahill Witch series and I want to try it sometime.
ReplyDeleteI have just started it, and its pretty good! (The Cookbook Collector)
DeleteThe Cahill Witch series was better than I expected! Star Cursed ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, so now I am anxious to read the next book!
Hmmm...The Ghosts of Chicago? Intriguing!
ReplyDeleteHope you will stop by my It's Monday! And don't forget to enter my giveaway for the Literary Blog Hop!
I feel like I learned a lot about the history of Chicago from Ghosts of Chicago! It was pretty interesting. :)
DeleteThe Chicago book looks intriguing. Enjoy the week.
ReplyDeleteIt was very informative, in a very readable way. Now I want to go back to Chicago! Lol.
DeleteI can't wait for your review of The Ghosts of Chicago. I read that one as well, and really enjoyed the myths and legends, and the ghost stuff, but the legends and histories even more so. The book was great! How is Starcursed? I LOVED Born Wicked, but my copy of its sequel hasn't arrived yet.
ReplyDeleteCheck out what I'm reading this week.
Yes, that is it exactly! I loved all the legends and histories, I learned about events I didn't know happened, like the Iroquois Theater fire. I thought the book was very well done!
DeleteStar Cursed was really good too - I didn't like it as much as I liked Born Wicked, but I feel like it was the eye in the storm.
Ooohhhhhhh I want to read ALL of these!!! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteThank you for sharing these--haven't read any of them yet. However, based on your review, I finally picked up my copy of The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic,--and wow--just what I needed to read at this time. The fantasy is wonderful and I am enjoying it immensely, so thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are enjoying it!!!! I seriously loved it too. I could read it all over again, honestly. :) And I don't want to wait for the sequel. Lol.
DeleteThe Ghosts of Chicago sounds great - I've requested my library get it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it! I want to go back to Chicago now so that I can find some of the places.
DeleteAll the books you list look great. Thanks for sharing. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in! :)
DeleteThe Cookbook Collector is great so far! I have it with me today at work, but I haven't had a chance to read it. :(
ReplyDeleteThe Dorian Gray book sounds like it will be interesting, if nothing else. I'll be curious to see what you think. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI am curious what I will think of it too!! The pamphlet that came with it...left me a little confused. Lol.
DeleteOoo! I read your review of The Ghosts of Chicago. Now I want to read it! The Resurrection Mary story already gives me the creeps!
ReplyDeleteIt was soo good! I started to feel a little creeped out while reading it, when my husband wasn't home. Lol.
DeleteThe Ghosts of Chicago and The Wilde Passions of Dorian Gray both seem interesting. Enjoy your book club read!
