June Reading List #1: The Inklings Detective Agency

Just released in May, The Inklings Detective Agency (Amazon affiliate link) brings several authors from the early 20th century to life as sleuths in 1930s UK, including J. R. R. Tolkein, C. S. Lewis, and Agatha Christie. As a fan of all three authors, I’m curious how John R. Kelly wove them into this novel. What would it be like for these great authors to face a real mystery? Can they solve it before more members of their community die?

June Reading List #2: The Celluloid Sentry

This isn’t a Christian series, but I’ve still enjoyed listening through The Homefront Sleuths series. The sleuths in Crofter’s Green have faced spies aplenty in their small village, and this time the cameras are rolling as they race to catch a master of disguise.

There is some language in these. So far, only one has had more than a word or two. While I prefer no language, I appreciate that the authors have kept it to a minimum.

June Reading List #3: Into a Golden Era

Here’s the newest Timeless installment. It’s been in my TBR for weeks now, but I’ve been wrapped up in the mysteries of The Homefront Sleuths. In addition to reading this novel, I’m also considering rereading the rest of the series. As the series grows, I’m wishing I had made notes of how all the time-crossers are connected. This novel crosses two times in the same area, which will be a fascinating difference from the previous stories.

June Reading List #4: Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 9: Shelter

Another series continuation! I must admit, when I find a series I love, I’m glad that the author continues it more than just a trilogy. I’ve greatly enjoyed the action and intrigue of this series. Since the team left off in the previous book accused of treason, I’m curious to see how they’ll fair in Volume 9: Shelter as they try to protect their families AND stop the real traitors from toppling the British government.

This one isn’t available on Amazon yet, but you can access the story early by joining Camille Elliot’s Patreon. In addition early release chapters, she also provides wonderful vingettes that make me laugh every time!

June Reading List #5: The Christmas Book Flood

I know! Christmas in July is the usual mid-year celebration for these seasonal stories, but I just couldn’t wait. Roseanna’s Patrons & Peers were talking about this story (and others), and I decided to relisten to it. It’s a fun novella where an entire community learns to share stories as they celebrate Christmas during the Second World War.
