16. I just started "White Crime A Kat Makris Greek Mafia Mystery

I love this series; it's full of funny characters, crazy plots and several rather hunky guys.

Kat started the day as the proud owner of a Ferrari and a lockbox filled with cassettes straight out of the 1980s. Now she’s on a slow cargo ship to Russia with Hera, gunshot victim, intelligence agent, and Kat’s least favorite person, and the cassettes are in the custody of one Viktor Sokolov, the delicious Russian mountain and gun-happy KGB agent Grandma would love her to date.

It’s not all bad. The desserts are out of this world and she’s not technically a prisoner, according to Viktor. If she can keep Hera alive and escape without getting them both killed, everything will be peachy.

The cruise takes a dark turn when Viktor’s flunkies start dropping like flies. Someone else wants the 1980s' greatest hits, and they don’t want to have to pay retail. Someone Kat knows well.

With a sexy yak herder on her side, Kat might just make it—if she can dodge the minefield of bears, Russians, and wedding dresses.

Last night I finished One Christmas Eve by Shari Lowe. It is a Prime read so you can borrow it from Amazon. Funny thing, I didn't remember choosing this book but I am very glad I did. It was a most enjoyable read.

On Christmas Eve, 1968, Cathy McLean receives a surprise visit from the lost love of her life and is forced to choose between the one that got away and the one that stayed.

On Christmas Eve, 1993, Cathy’s daughter Helena is overjoyed to hear that her boyfriend is about to propose, until a devastating encounter threatens to bring her heartbreak instead of diamonds.

On Christmas Eve 2023, a shocking discovery rocks Eve Quinn’s world. The only gift Eve wants this year is the truth. But will it take a Christmas miracle to unravel generations of secrets?

Unwrap this festive tale of complicated families, impossible choices, and an unforgettable love that lasts three lifetimes.

Earlier in the week I finished The Testaments, which picks up 15 years after the end of Handmaid's Tale. The first half I spent figuring out which character was narrating. In the second half, the story becomes more intense and I did not care who was narrating, I just wanted to find out what happened. There is a great twist at the end.
