Summer Reading 2021

Now weeks since summer  break began...and the reading for pleasure continues, reading, what I call, "fun" or "easy" reads, involving, this year, a series.  Yes, one of my favorite types of reads, especially since once the series has several books out for me to enjoy.

While at Wal-Mart very early in the summer, I picked up a book by new-to-me author Heather Graham, as I later read the front and back covers and began to dive into the book, I realized that I had started with the latest book in the series.  Yay...and what?!  A quick search for this series revealed that this one was number 35ish!  Wow!

Using the Overdrive app, I found the first one...and then the next 19...all in a row.  That has been my Summer Big Read.

Two interesting tidbits about this series:

  1. Ghosts help solve the who-done-its.  The Krewe of Hunters see ghosts...thus, their name.
  2. The author includes much history within each novel.  I actually ordered two that included facts and characters from the Salem Witchtrials, as my students and I read The Crucible and I could use the as examples of allusions.
Will I finish the series?  Probably.  May be next summer...as this summer is quickly passing and I have much to do yet before returning for year 31!
