Every day that's over 90 degrees, I remind myself that fall is almost here and maybe we'll have more moderate temperatures. Anyone else counting down the days? I hope you all have been managing to stay cool.

What are you reading this week? I've been in the mood for detectives so I'm reading The Murder on the Links by Agatha Christie. A couple years ago, I made a plan to read all the Poirot mysteries but I only made it a few books in before getting distracted (story of my bookish life). I'm not sure if this time around I'll be able to do it, but I'm hopeful. I'm also reading The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco with a friend. I read this book back in 2017/2018, right after it first came out, but I have no memory of it. So this reread is basically like reading it for the first time. Does that happen to anyone else?

Happy reading!

Ann (ann-fracturedfiction) | 516 comments I'm currently reading Dead in the Doorway by Diane Kelly. Next up will probably be Court of Thorn and Roses by Sarah Maas, my banned book for this quarter.
I, too, started reading through Christie's Poirot novels, and made it up to Poirot's Christmas when I ran out of steam (or got sidetracked by Regency romances- I don't remember). I'll probably start again where I left off.
I read so many cozies, and they frequently have the same setting, or plot, or time period, that I will forget which mystery goes with which series.

Nathan (nmillerche) | 28 comments Manga-heavy week for me while trying to beat the heat. Recently got my hands on an early (1995-96) series of Pokemon (when ピーピー ["Pipi/Clefairy"] was expected to be the main face of the series, rather than ピカチュウ ["Pikachu"]).

Also reading Way of the Househusband Vol. 3. Loved the Anime, and I'm enjoying the books, but my collection goes from English to Japanese language from Vol. 7 onward, so I expect my pace will slow way down after Vol. 6, as it'll be a stretch for my current reading level.
