GoodReads Monday

This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope your week is off to a good start. For this week’s Goodreads Monday post I chose a book that I am hoping to read in the new year or maybe even sooner. I have requested this book which comes out in January, but have not yet received approval. Fingers crossed that it comes soon. If not then I have a fun new book to look forward to when the year begins. This is the second book in a mystery series. I really enjoyed the first book; Holmes, Marple & Poe, earlier this year and was excited to see that there was another book in the series coming out soon.

Holmes is Missing by James Patterson and Brian Sitts

Publication Date: January 2, 2025

Summary from Goodreads:

It’s their toughest case yet. And their best detective is missing. Holmes, Marple and Poe run the private detective agency that solves the crimes no one else can. Or they did – until Holmes said he wanted to leave the business and fell off the radar. In New York City, they are called to investigate the abduction of six newborns from a private hospital. Without Holmes, they try to investigate this terrible crime. They hear word of more missing babies in London, and Margaret follows the trail across the pond. But they need Holmes. To solve the crime of the century, first they must save their friend.

Hopefully I will get the good news that I have approval for the ARC either today or tomorrow. And if I don’t receive that, maybe they will have the audiobook ARC up soon. I almost always get those mostly because I don’t think they get many requests for them.

Do you have any books coming out in January that you are really excited about! Let me know in the comments. Until next time…
