I just read a review from someone else who finished this one as well Heather. Coincidence! Glad you loved it :)

I read it after I saw the movie starring Anne Bancroft and Anthony Hopkins. It was charming, just like the book.

There was a movie made based on this book also called 84 Charing Cross Road. It starred Anthony Hopkins and Anne Bancroft. It is 20 or so years old, but it was very good.
My current non-cozy reads are:
Enter the Saint by Leslie Charteris. Just started the second of the three stories in the book.
Swords and Deviltry by Fritz Leiber
Store of Infinity: Stories by Robert Sheckley
The Harrowing of Gwynedd by Katherine Kurtz
my two current non-cozies are:

Anyone else here read
Where the Crawdads Sing. I know everybody loves it, but it is just dragging for me. Have been at it for over a month and about half way through. Does it get better?

I'm doing a re-read of Snow Flower and the Secret Fan for my ftf bc. I first read it 6 years ago and I'm actually amazed how much I remember as I read.
Received an ARC of
yesterday and started it this morning. Only a little ways in and it's creepy already!
I'm starting on the next book in one of my favorite series,
Overdose in Paradise, set in the Florida Keys.
I'm reading Ray Bradbury and Jane Goodall.
Just finished A Curious Beginning, by Deanna Raybourn. It was a bit of a slow start, but I ended up really liking the book and can't wait to read the next in the series :)
I've read the first book in The Mortal Instruments series. Looking forward to the second book, once I find a copy.
This is a middle grade mystery. Pretty much a cozy spy story, just aimed at late elementary school and older. Buy it for the kid in your life, then sneak it and read it for yourself.
Spy School British Invasion by Stuart Gibbs
Just starting on my Kindle
Killer's Choice by Ed McBain. This is the 5th 87th Precinct novel and introduces detective Cotton Hawes.

Now reading Rider in the Mist by Caroline Burnes, alter-ego of this month’s featured author. Hopefully a faster and more entertaining read!
It's always satisfying to finish one that has been a bit of a chore Heather :)

That's funny. The Narrows is one of the books for me this week, too.
Mod
True! And while there are some aspects of it that may be applicable to today (such as people judging one by the people with whom one chooses to surround oneself), I think you get more out of it if you understand some of the historic political references. Modern politics are mind-numbing enough!
My “reward� book is proving to be much more enjoyable. Managed to get halfway through it last night! 🙂
I started
last night. It took me a little bit to get into, but 100 pages in and I am intrigued.

You're right about modern politics!!! And so glad you're enjoying your next read :)
I seem to be concentrating on WWII books; I'm reading at the moment Lisbon: War in the Shadows of the City of Light, 1939-1945, by Neill Lochery, which is prompting me to continue with James R. Benn's Billy Boyle series. I've read the 1st 4, there are 14 total so far, plus 2 stand-alones in the same period. All the ones I've read are well-written, though not exactly cheery. At least the Good Guys win.
I had to read The Prince in college for a World History class. It was a major struggle back then. Definitely wouldn't pick it up now. My hat is off to you.
A couple of non-cozies for me this week:
The Narrows by Michael Connelly
The 18th Abduction by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

I am reading
by Tomi Adeyemi. Lots of excellent reviews.
