Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments Woohoo


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments My library won't have the book in by the 1st. It's coming from another library and they don't know exactly when it'll arrive. Can you wait a few days or do you need to start it right away?

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments huh?


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments I think I meant that for another thread/book. I already have Jackaby. I was trying to say that my own library, Manteca Public Library, didn't have the book I was referring to, so they get books they can from "sister libraries" like from San Francisco, Sacramento, and other cities all over California, depending on who has them. It's called
Link+ and Link+ takes time to get the books to my library. In this case I was 25th in the queue and now I'm down to 19th.

I'm sorry if I confused you.

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments Ah okay makes sense now. That’s cool that they get help from other libraries


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Yeah, otherwise I'd be buying a LOT more books and going broke. LOL I never used the library until I started doing challenges on GR. I can't keep up with all the books I use if I had to buy all of them.

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments Yeah I use the city’s library digital books and then my towns library for digital as well. Usually one of them has it. If not I buy it


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Finished

I liked it pretty well. For some reason it made me think of Sherlock Holmes.

Abigail Rook (view spoiler)

Jackaby (view spoiler)

Overall what I liked about it was the detective aspect, knowing that Abigail was a novice and "watching" her learn and grow, and the mystery of the serial killer. I wasn't sure (view spoiler)

I hope you like it too.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments Tayla, are you still planning to read this one? It's pretty good.

Tayla Potayta (taylapotayta) | 1594 comments Hey sorry. I’ve been in a really bad reading slump.


Vicki (goodreadscomboobooper49) | 31156 comments It's okay.
