Unwind the Conspiracy in All the Devils Are Here
I had a hard time choosing which book to do a teaser from this week, but I have settled on All the Devils Are Here, the latest read in Louise Penny’s Chief Inspector Gamache series.
If you were afraid after the last book (A Better Man) that we had heard the last of Jean-Guy Beauvoir, you can put your fears to rest. Jean-Guy is in France, and Armand Gamache and his wife are there with them, to visit their son and welcome the arrival of Jean-Guy’s and Annie’s first child.

Educate Yourself and Help Others with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is an encyclopedic book about various magical creatures in J.K. Rowling’s magical world. This is not the screenplay/movie. It begins with some playful forwards/introductions, and then proceeds into the encyclopedia of magical beasts (and where to find them.) Fans will recognize not only the popular mythical creatures like dragons, fairies, and phoenixes, but also some of J.K. Rowling’s creations like nifflers and bowtruckles.

I have previously posted about the first two books in the Renee Ballard series by Michael Connelly (The Late Show and Dark Sacred Night). So, it should come as no surprise that I picked up the third when I saw it was available.

Start the New Year with a new series!
A lot of years, my New Year’s blog has been a focus on self-improvement or goals. Not this year. After 2020, people are ready for a new beginning. They are ready to leave the stresses of this crazy year behind and start something new.
And while you may still be on lockdown, what could be more important than a mental vacation?

Read about life as a child soldier in A Long Way Gone
I have recently finished reading A Long Way Gone, by Ishmael Beah. It is a sad reality that around the world children are recruited to fight in wars or serve the soldiers who are fighting. Children as young as nine may be trained to kill.
