The Mummy Case (Amelia Peabody, #3)
Elizabeth Peters | 1995

6.0 (3 Ratings)
Book Rating
The third of Elizabeth Peter's <i>Amelia Peabody</i> (who is a Victorian archaeologist) series of books, this is the first one on which her incredibly precocious son Ramses is old enough to join Amelia and her husband on an expedition to Egypt.

Of course, this then turns into a mystery novel when it transpires that artifacts are being stolen from the digs(no surprise there), and when one of their acquaintances is murdered in Cairo ...

Jeeves and the Tie That Binds (Jeeves, #14)

Book Rating
Known in the UK as <i>Much Obliged, Jeeves</i>, this is the penultimate of PG Wodehouse's Jeeves books (the last being <i>Aunt's aren't Gentlemen</i>). This one features his <quote/unquote> 'deserving Aunt Dahlia' as opposed to his Aunt Agatha, and also features a previously-unknown-to-the-reader old school friend of Bertie Wooster in Ginger Winship.

Cue the usual romantic entanglements and sheenanigans!

(oh, and we also find out Jeeves first name (it's Reginald))

Eight books in and it still keeps me entertained. I laughed, I grumbled; I enjoyed it.

I'll admit it's probably been a good few months since I read the last book in the series but I caught on again pretty quick and we meet some old friends and enemies and go on a ride through the streets of Chicago.

I love Ethan and Merit as a couple and i'm thinking maybe he'll pop the question in the next book.

Ian McEwan | 2017 | Fiction & Poetry

Book Favorite

"McEwan’s razor-sharp descriptions of human emotion always hit me hard, and I find this to be the most haunting and heartbreaking of his books. A father looks up in the grocery store and realizes his four-year-old missing; the search for her destroys his marriage and his life. I’m a huge fan of McEwan’s—my first feature was based on his short story “First Love, Last Rites,”—but this is the one that stays with me."
