So behind on my reading but this has been gripping!

Lol, kinda nice to read about the exploits of an out-and-out slacker after so many high-achieving protagonists.

Mince is not my thing, but I have faith in Peggy Ehrhart!

Nice, lol.

Already laughed out loud several times reading this. And that chicken recipe is fire!

Intrigued by how this is going to straddle the line between mystery and supernatural!

Whoa, some of this language would not pass muster in 2026 but it's super evocative of the turn of the century!

So grateful for novellas!

Choppy prose, but at least stuff is happening.

This is not the type of book I normally gravitate to but it is capturing my heart so thoroughly so far!

Intriguing premise, tho I had to go back and figure out which item Romeo picked up, lol

Super cute so far!

That soup recipe is terrific!

Honestly, this feels more like an over-written storyboard for an anime

I have spent five hours on this book and gotten five bad endings, so the answer so far is apparently not, lolsob

Felt like playing a game that also happens to be a book!

Legit one of my favorite police procedural series of all time.

That soup recipe is a banger!

Idk why I was so confused by the seeming dissonance between the blurb and the first few pages. I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Finally found the time for the latest Jordan Ifueko novel, I AM SO HYPE!!!

There has been an awful lot of 80s sad sackery already!

A bit MFA but not unreadable.

Hunh, this doesn't read like a Book One in a series, but I guess it's a spin-off? Engaging and fast-paced so far: I approve!

I think I messed up the recipe I chose but the results were still delicious!

Having the worst time trying to remember who exactly did what in the preceding novel and novella.

Weird typos but whatevs. Macki's concerns over her pie crust are making me extra glad I decided to use store-bought for the recipe, lol

Solid bones here, even if there is a little more telling than showing.

Enjoying the premise, and grateful for both the map and cast list at the beginning.

Honestly, I can't get over that cover. What does it meeeeeean?!

Compulsively readable, given I literally started a few hours ago (with breaks for life stuff, ofc!)
