December 2022 Additions to My Digital Security Blanket

 

 
Last month's additions to my digital security blanket may have you scratching your heads and wondering if I was ill. Just TWO books added. TWO. No, I wasn't ill; my mind was elsewhere. Now, it could have been enticed with a nice sale or two, but those were few and far between. What it does prove to us all is that there is hope for me. If there can be a month with just two purchases, can a month with none at all be far behind?

We shall see!

Let's find out about the two books that did lead me straight down Temptation Street and into the doors of the Gotcha Shop. They are grouped by genre, and if you click on the link in the book title, you'll be taken to Amazon US where you can learn more about the book.
 
 
===Science Fiction===
 
 
 ■ Having read a few of this author's short stories and enjoyed them, I seem to be stockpiling all her novels for a rainy day. I am familiar with The Island of Doctor Moreau, and I'm looking forward to reading Moreno-Garcia's version of the tale.


===Cozy Mystery===
 
 
■ I was shocked when this new title went on sale, and I didn't let any grass grow under my feet when it came to snapping it up. There's just something about British charity shops!

  3. I read Moreno-Garcia's book last summer and enjoyed it immensely. I'm sure you will, too.

    1. Yes, your review was one of the main reasons why I bought it when the price was reduced.

  5. Yeah I enjoyed reading the Daughter of Doctor Moreau this past summer and I think you'll like it. It was good. A bit mysterious like the original tale. Enjoy.

  7. Something strange must be going on: only two books to add to your digital supply? I have to take a shopping cart to the library to pick up the paper books. Once my Kindle is set up, I can add more books.

    1. And therein the danger lies because you can't see them taking up physical real estate. But at least they're not threatening life and limb, and they don't need dusting.
