January 2025 Book #2
Dimpsie invited some friends from the theater to spend Christmas with him in his castle located in a private island near to Edinburgh. Dimpsie was found dead near to the tree which appear to be an accidental death…Dun Dun Dunnnand the drama begins….
Quite predictable 😏 with some funny scenes but predictable. I enjoyed it as a holiday read. It should be a so-so but I usually enjoy these crime classic stories🤷🏽‍♀️3⭐️

I really fell behind on my August reading (and probably life in general). I am still working on the roll #28 (tagged) for August's #Roll100, which I am enjoying. I am also more than halfway through Fingersmith for August's #AuthorAMonth. Hoping to read a lot today and tomorrow.

I read this book for a Readathon I was participating and it was an opportunity to read an old book in my tbr. That means I was in the summer mood and found it okay. However, this is a quite typical mermaid story with a YA cheesy romance with a not so easy male protagonist. I found Galen likes to control others, what happen with these male characters? But I liked the world and plot in general. There were sad parts 2.9/3⭐️

Gissy (Cont.) at the end of each book in this trilogy, you will find an interview with the author. She made some negative comments about Stephanie Meyer indicating that if “...Meyer can write a book, then you (author) can”. Does she think that her trilogy is superior to The Teilight Saga?😳A. Banks, your trilogy is not superior, I found it almost in the same line: YA cheesy regular, reading that we decided to read. Who this author think she is? 😐 7mo

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! 7mo
Suet624 It sure seems like a negative thing to say about a fellow author! 7mo
Gissy @Suet624 Yes, she said is conscious of her comment because she added “...One day, Stephanie Meyer is going to give me a bloody nose....Could you come at me from the right side?...”😳Violent too. Definitely she thinks her books are a master piece😐🤷🏽‍♀️ 7mo
Suet624 Wow!! 7mo

#ReadAway2024

Finished earlier in the week, this was my second #Roll100 book (#28) finished for August. Katherine Center writes rom coms that dig a little deeper. I really enjoyed the story & the use of face blindness (Prosopagnosia) & learning more about it. Many times I wanted to shake Sadie, our MC for her choices about communication & accepting help, but at the end I was rooting for her & liked watching her grow. A quick & enjoyable read. 💙

PuddleJumper Well done! 7mo

My August #Roll100 picks

#28 Hello Stranger (ebook)
#29 Black Sheep (Aardvark)
#14 Any BOTM (I‘m choosing Bear as it‘s our #CampList24 pick for the second half of August so I‘ll get it read!)

Although I‘ve only managed to read 2 books from my rolls the last few months, #Roll100 helps me finish some of my books #FromTBRList 📚💛📚

CatLass007 I‘m not a huge fan of romantic comedy, but I loved Hello, Stranger. Not your typical rom-com. 8mo
Eggs I LOVED Hello Stranger 💗💗 8mo

Mehso-so

Book 2 in The Mobile Library mysteries. I'm struggling a bit because, while the stories are entertaining, they're not written in a way that you can "solve" the mystery along with the characters. Information is withheld to make a bigger reveal when they figure it out. Israel is not adapting to his new environment at all. We should be seeing his grow as a person along the way. Can someone please tell me what SPK means in this context? #28-2024

I picked this up in a whim, not knowing what to expect. He pulled from all religions to make you really consider not only your own spirituality (not religion), but your place in the world and how it relates to everyone else on the planet. The writing is very engaging and I enjoyed being inside his head for the duration of this book. Who knew “Dwight” was so insightful?! Book #28 in 2024
