On the one hand, this list is still the result of my recent epic book flail. I loved the first books in the Forensic Instincts series, but somehow it dropped off my book radar. When I realized I was coming to an end of my St. Cyr catch up read and needed a new comfort read series, I happened to see a mention of At Any Cost and ‘Bob’ as they say, ‘is your uncle’.
On my second hand, there’s that 50th anniversary edition of The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. I read that when it first came out 50(!) years ago and it’s one of those books, along with the author’s Riddle-Master of Hed Trilogy, that I’ve carted to seven different states over those 50 years. It’s time to get it out again.
And then there’s my third hand, or perhaps a foot perched on a library-style kickstep, with two books about the power of books and the desire to run away from responsibility and open a bookstore, which made me think of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop and The Cat Who Saved Books and I couldn’t resist!

What a great selection, I’ve read a few of the early Forensic Instincts series, but like you it dropped off my radar at some point.

I think she started being self-published or at least that’s the way it looks. I loved the first few so I can’t wait to go back!

What a wonderful haul! These books are all new to me and I hope that you enjoy them all! Have a great long weekend.
The book that totally caught my eye & interest is What You Are Looking For is in the Library – I love those quirky Japanese stories!
