Found the book I was looking for thanks to a kind person who wanted to help. Thank you!!!

I’m reading a book currently, that isn’t on goodreads so can’t add it to my shelf. Wth!!!! Reading murder high, I forget the author’s name.

I keep forgetting to update my bookshelves and stuff. Oops! Onto other things, I have 31 days to complete my challenge of reading 30 books. Not doing well this year. More oops!

This month’s big library read is Uncommon measure. Not sure I’m going to like it. Only read the first page and already feels boring. Thankfully it’s a short 200 & something pages long. Lol

Oh yes, Elizebeth Spann Craig is back with a new book on wattpad. My Thursdays are about to get interesting again. Just finished reading chapter 1. Chapter 2 up next week. I love these books far too much. Lol!

Yes I know I’m reviewing my books and marking them as read in higgledy pickledy order. I want to say more about the others, so will try and review when I have keyboard out for proper typing.

Erm how did her mother even know she needed dye from those red flowers? And why didn’t she use the cloak herself if she knew that the cloak would help. Makes no sense.

Just updating and adding books I’ve read in higgledy pickledy order. I haven’t read half those in that order, and others I want to write my thoughts on but won’t be able to until K have laptop out. Oh well, it doesn’t matter what order I update it I guess.

“No,” said Robin firmly. “He probably thinks I’m ‘special needs’ after the conversation we’ve just had.”

Wow! So we’re now using terms associated with learning disabilities and disability in general mainly children, as slur words and insults are we? Is this the new R word now? Bloody hell!

I never really liked Robin all that much, but this just takes the ‘P’ I dislike her a bit more now.

Got a lot of books that need reviewing as I’ve finished quite a few on my currently reading list. Will do those tomorrow if I can.

I love how Stephen king drops little things from his other books into his writing, as though his books are stories characters in that story would have read. Like in fairy tale, Cujo is mentioned as a fictional character to describe the dog in this book. Lol! 😂 love it!!!

And that Sam dude (or so he says he’s sam), is working with Gabriel. Or maybe he is Gabriel. Interesting.

Reading The hoarder. I bet Biba is working with Gabriel. There’s something not right with these two.

Not long now, one more chapter and the epilogue to go and I’ll be finished. Oh man! This is goood!!

Looks boring already, only started it. Not my usual pick up but we shall see.

Ok playing it dangerously this year. Going to start with 30 books for my goodreads challenge. Normally I start small and add 10 more each time I get close to completing. This time I thought I’d take the risk. Let’s see how it goes.

Oh my days! I can relate to so much of what she saying in this book. Her experience in school are so similar to mine. Dayum!!! But that’s what I’ve discovered while reading books by autistic authors, their experiences are so similar to what I experienced growing up, I’d never seen my own experiences reflected in books before, that I felt very alienated growing up. Interesting.

I’m kind of bored of it already. Not what I was expecting. Reads like a notebook, in fact it reads more like this update. Just short rambley thoughts and opinions.

Illiterate doesn’t mean you’re stupid or to lack intelligence, illiterate just means you can’t read. So yeah the character narrating the tape is illiterate.

Oops! Didn’t mean to post that twice, I thought the first one didn’t post and I thought I lost it so I wrote it out again.

22 only? Are you kidding me? I’m not doing so good on this year’s Goodreads challenge.

22 books only!! Are you kidding me?? I’m not doung so good on the Goodreads challenge.

Is the author seriously writing instructions for how to make a sandwich the protagonist is about to order? For real? How dopey does this book get? It just feels like a long tedious diary rather than a cosy mystery. Boring. It’s 500 and something pages long. I want it to finish quickly.

Reading the Thursday murder club, these guys are hilarious! Give me more old folks, amateur sleuths please. They’re always witty, difficult in a funny way kind of characters. I can’t wait to discuss this in the book club I’m in, as it’s this months book. Should be fun.

Wow! I can’t believe it!! Firstly yay! I finished my 2021 reading book challenge!!! Secondly now coming to the best bit, this has had to be the best year for reading so far. I’ve managed to exceed my highest reading score of 50 books a year. I mean 50 has been the highest I’ve ever done, even if not every year. But this year I’ve managed to do 60, which a huge achievement for me. I’m so happy!!!

I think I've caught up now, and reviewed all the books that I've finished reading. I just need to finish one more book to complete my challenge. I bumped it up because I wanted to see if I can make it to 60 before the times up. If I can do it, it will be an achievement and a half.

Woaw! It's taking me a long time to catch up with all these reviews. Good thing I'm on holiday now. It's gonna be a long night. Still got a few more to review.

Oh gosh! I’ve got so many books to review. I know I just keep adding new books to currently read pile, but honest I’ve finished some of them on that pile. I’ll be bringing the laptop out this weekend or next, to do reviews etc and update shelves me thinks. Lol!

Oops! Finished my reading challenge without realising it. Lol! I’m going to have to bump it up.
