Shakespeare's Landlord by Charlaine Harris

Shakespeare's Landlord (Lily Bard Mysteries, Book 1) (A Lily Bard Mystery)

Synopsis:

When cleaning lady Lily Bard discovers the dead body of her nosy landlord, her plan of starting a quiet new life may end in her death.

Review:

Shakespeare's Landlord was just okay. Lily had something horrible happen to her and now she tries to just lay low and clean peoples houses and stay out of trouble. When she goes for a late night walk and sees someone dump a body in the park she gets drawn into trying to figure out who did it. Lily is in a great spot to figure things out since she heard lots of gossip but everyone knows she never repeats it.

I enjoyed the main storyline for this book. However there was a lot of back story for each character you met which detracted from the overall story for me. I didn't care so much everyones' life story, but I did like Lily. I liked how she interacted with everyone and how she thought. I am hoping in the next book there will be less back story and more main storyline since we hopefully won't have to meet everyone again.

Rating: 3/5

Best of 2019

If any of you are following along then you may have noticed that 2019 was not the most consistent year for me. I have been posting less and less and I finally came to the conclusion that I need a break. A break from writing reviews. A break from reading things I have to read to review. A break from being on a schedule and blogging, at least for a bit. I will still update my Goodreads with ratings for books I read, maybe a line or two about the book, but I need a break. I need to not have the stress of getting things read and posted and all of that. It has become something I don't enjoy so if I am ever going to get back on the blogging train I need a break. So I am not sure I will be posting in 2020. I will see how it goes. Life got super crazy (in a good way!) in 2019 so I also haven't had or wanted to carve out the time to blog. I am still reading books by authors I love, but this way I also can fit in more books by new to me authors. Or read what I feel like, what I am in the
