Leavin' Trunk Blues by Ace Atkins6/29/2023 Another academic disappears in the Missisippi Delta while researching the blues in general, but the legend of Robert Johnson in specific. So, when Crossroads Blues: a Nick Travers Mystery came across my radar, it was definitely of interest.Ĭrossroad Blues follows Nick Travers, a former Pro football player turned harmonica player in New Orleans, and a Professor of Blues at Tulane, as he searches for a lost colleague. Parker’s Spenser novels as well as due to a few books he wrote based on historical mysteries and situations. Ace Atkins has made at least the likables list, now being the author of Robert B. But, every once in a while, I do trip across a modern author who gets added to my list of likables, and even faves. Many of them aren’t currently living anymore, actually. If you know me at all, or have followed my reviews any, you probably have a fair idea that a lot of the authors I read aren’t currently writing books. Title: Crossroad Blues: A Nick Travers Mystery

The Interludes by Ais6/29/2023 Nawfal filled the background with the foot-tapping rhythm while the interludes are the beauty on their own with the charming string sections. Album’s best track Ye Kanulu Choodani is crooned by Sid Sriram who is regular in most of the Telugu albums and the singer aces the highly engaging track. The melancholy Kalam adigey manishante evaru sung by Anurag Kulkarni didn’t work tune-wise despite the effective string section interspersed throughout the track. Raye Vennalamma Raye with its minimal orchestration is filled with a whiff of Rahman’s Rasathi, however, the track works wonderfully led by Sakthi Loganathan’s earnest rendition. The track is backed by punchy percussions and lovely violin and Nadhaswaram solos in the interludes. Shankar Mahadevan is in stupendous form as always in Arey Meriseyle Meriseyle and backed by the simple celebratory lyrics by Rahman.

Lynn6/28/2023 Our normal whatever-the-fuck-it-was between us had gone further than I intended. No one swayed ass like Andrea, and seeing it gone from her step was answer enough. I watched Andrea walk into the living room, the normal twitch of her hips absent. Sometimes life makes you work for that happily ever after… Andrea’s life is spiraling out of control, and it doesn’t matter that Tanner wants to save her, because when everything falls apart and she’s speeding toward rock bottom, only she can save herself. She’s teetering on the edge and every time he tries to catch her, she slips through his fingers. But the more he gets to know her, the more it becomes obvious that Andrea has a problem. Tanner knows he and Andrea have had an epic love/hate relationship for as long as he can remember, but he wants more love than hate from her. He is seriously hot, with legit bedroom eyes and that firefighter body of his, but he’s a major player, and they can’t get along for more than a handful of minutes. Sometimes life leaves a mark… Most days, Andrea doesn’t know whether she wants to kiss Tanner or punch him in the gut. Say you swear meagan brandy audiobook6/28/2023 While she’s super attracted to King, he’s also swooped in to buy the land she wanted for her expansion. When Perrin approaches the bank to buy a piece of land adjacent to her bar, she finds out there’s already an offer on the property. They meet in her bar and King is completely smitten. Jasper Falls is a quaint town of small family businesses and when they get a whiff that King’s in town, well…they’re not supportive. He’s in Jasper Falls to scope out a potential new site for his next store. King runs a huge chain store that sells lumber, think Lowes or Home Depot type retailer. The last guy was a lying cheating jackass. Enter Gage King. She’s also had her fill of heartbreak and has pretty much sworn off all men. She and her sister own the business and Perrin has big plans to expand. I must be on a small-town romance binge because this is the third one in a row for me- and they’ve all been excellent! No issues catching up with characters or complicated backstories. It can be read as a standalone and I haven’t read or listened to the other two books. Love Me Nots is the third book in the Jasper Falls series.
