I'm really enjoying this one. They're in the library, having a dance together after hours, and it's pulling at my heart

This is a fun read

I woke up today having bought this book and was reading it, while I was asleep. Or half-asleep. I'm very puzzled, but my sleepy brain wanted to read it, so here goes...

😦

This makes me feel nauseous

An editor's pick for the reading challenge, it's already a little weird. I hope it gets weirder

It's pulling at me, this undercurrent of sadness. While our circumstances are different, I understanding surviving, while knowing there will be even harder things still to surmount around the corner. I want to take a moment to cry, but I continue reading...

I don't think I'll be recommending this one to anyone. It's not like the first two in the series.

“No, Danièle, I’m…I’m wedged in here like Winnie the Pooh in his fucking honey hole. I can’t move. At all.” 🤣

"A second scream tore through the night." [Screams]

"Then we started away unaware that this would be a one-way trip from which none of us would be returning." [Screams]

Halloween Reading 😬 "Really, with Mel now safe, I felt more proud than anything of our accomplishment. Suicide Forest zero; Team Tokyo one."

Speed reading this sh*t. Do not recommend. It was free.

I'm drawing my way through the flowers in the book and having the best time

Kindle recommended this title, but I didn't remember I didn't care for books 1 and 2

I don't want it to end!!!

This is so good already!

My phone charger isn't working so I ordered a new one and I'm reading a book *in PRINT* that I found in the house

There's a body! And they put it in the pub. I wonder if someone will steal it. Or maybe they'll resurrect the person from the death slumber with magic. I bet the mystery man's brother is in town after all, but he's spellbound and hidden in nature (or living with the face of a villager).

I'm picking this back up and it's an exciting read! Prince Harry will have to wait another day

Picking this one back up at the beginning

I love Elly Griffiths series starring Ruth Galloway, but this one has a different tone. The 1950s detective inspector isn't what I'm feeling right now so this will fall on the back burner

"I don’t know what it was, but he scared the everfucking shit out of me. He blocked the door, so I went out the window. I was hanging off a window AC, trying to drop to the awning underneath. I missed and hit the windowsill and got tangled up in this shit here. I roll down the awning and hit the ground running. Fucking like going to the gym in hell. Ran all the way back.”

This feels eerily similar "...says it’s autoimmune. Almost wish I hadn’t asked, he looked so scared when he said it. Think that was more because he doesn’t know. No antibiotic. No interferon. No anti-inflammatory, no sedative, no emetic, nothing. Nothing touches this once it starts. We’re all wrapped in plastic, but it doesn’t seem to matter. Marianne went down with it two days ago. Shirley’s looking like shit, so.."

"What. The. Fuck. Whole hospital under quarantine, but what good is that?" Maybe reading about a pandemic during a pandemic isn't wise, but we'll see...

I'm skipping around a bit to browse the recipes, but the low number of reviews and ratings makes me wonder if I should skip to the next one...

This feels too much like a mom book. A mom angry and resentful of her ex husband. Even though she's a librarian, I can't get into the story. At all. Like John, I am running, running away...

"I finish my comments and likes and then pause a moment and think, How did I get here? How is it that I was in Los Angeles planning a full-glamour Rocky Mountains wedding two days ago, and now I’m standing on my mom’s rural route staring at a giant chicken made of old garden implements? Does my life really need to be quite this whimsical?"
