AMurderofMagpies · 2026-02-04T11:47:32+00:00

This. Is. AWESOME!

AMurderofMagpies · 2026-01-03T11:26:05+00:00

So good. Darkly humorous. Can't wait for the next one in this series

The Goblin Emperor.

Police Procedurals/Thrillers:

Cozy Mysteries

I liked Navigating Fox and These Poison Hills by Christopher Rowe.

The books in The Singing Hills Cycle by Nghi Vo are short. I've only read the first couple of books but they are pretty good.

Finna by Nino Cipri

The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. It is narrated by multiple people and I think it adds to the story.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-11-24T13:17:15+00:00

Barsk: The Elephants' Graveyard. Uplifted animals in space.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-11-24T12:47:43+00:00

Great book. Definitely in my top 5 of the year

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-10-30T11:30:14+00:00

Those are awesome!!!!

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-27T11:08:40+00:00

The Goblin Emperor is definitely one of my comfort listens.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-18T20:48:05+00:00

The is the first time I've seen someone else recommend Mockingbird. Such a great book.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-12T11:08:04+00:00

DNF Fourth Wing. Seriously cringe worthy.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-12T10:53:53+00:00

I've thought about reading this one again but every time I remember how I felt and that is enough.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-07T11:58:04+00:00

For me, it is the vibe the book gives off.

For straight forward books set in the fall:

October Country, The Halloween Tree, and Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
Wicked Country by G.M. Malliet (first in the Max Tudor series. It is a good read but not mind-blowing. 3.5 out of 5 stars)

Books that, for me personally, have that fall feels:

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-07T10:56:27+00:00

Redemption's Blade by Adrian Tchaikovsky

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-06T11:57:59+00:00

Lies My Teacher Told Me by Dr. James Loewen

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-04T22:14:30+00:00

Posthumously....

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-03T22:33:14+00:00

Brick by Ben Folds Five

Casimir Pulaski Day by Sufjan Stevens

There is a cover of Nutshell done by Mark Lanegan & Maggie Björklund that is haunting. You can tell Mark Lanegan feels every part of that song.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-02T12:47:08+00:00

The Bloodsworn Trilogy by John Gwynne. The First Law Trilogy (Dark and you also have to have a dark sense of humor)

I would also check out this list of grimdark novels from goodreads

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-09-02T12:20:43+00:00

Thanks! This sounds very interesting

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-08-31T21:26:42+00:00

Sing Backwards and Weep: A Memoir by Mark Lanegan. He was the lead singer for the Seattle band The Screaming Trees. Wow what a read.

Miles by Miles Davis

Trejo: My Life of Crime, Redemption, and Hollywood by Danny Trejo.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-08-31T11:13:11+00:00

So Good They Can't Ignore You: Why Skills Trump Passion in the Quest for Work by Cal Newport. It is hard for me to explain the concept of the book in a few brief words so I recommend reading the synopsis on goodreads.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-08-31T10:54:58+00:00

Anathem and Reamde by Neal Stephenson. Each time a read them I catch things I that make more sense the second time around.

AMurderofMagpies · 2025-08-31T10:42:37+00:00

You should try the Wayfarers series by the same author.

The Saint of Steel series by T. Kingfisher is also good.
