#BookReport

Only 2 finished last week. I read the tagged book after seeing it recommended on a Parnassus Books video. It sounds like it is a much loved coming of age story. I did enjoy it but didn‘t love it.

I also enjoyed the Pride & Prejudice continuation by McLeod.

ChaoticMissAdventures I am reading this because of that video too! I am only a third of the way in and agree with you, it is okay. 1d

monalyisha I‘m part of the “much-love” camp! 1d

ChaoticMissAdventures @monalyisha did you read it as a youngster? I have this theory on books like this. I feel like if I had read this in my teens/20s I would have gotten so much more out of it. 1d

monalyisha Hmm…late 20‘s. I think I was 27. I was thoroughly charmed. I thought it was quirky and cozy, with a strong setting and thoughtful spiritual ruminations. The movie, on the other hand? Blech. 1d

Death at a Scottish Wedding | Lucy Connelly

Really enjoying this series. The first book was really good and this one was also. Looking forward to book three and hoping the series lasts because I‘m already attached.

The Knight at Dawn | Mary Pope Osborne

so-so

3✨ I feel like these books are really rushed. It‘s a great read for young kids to boost confidence. I‘m wondering in the notes are a build up as well. The first two books are building up a mystery in the series that might give the books more main plot than going to other places from their magical treehouse. #SeriesLove

Naked Heat | Richard Castle

pick

04/100 Castle has always been one of my favorite TV shows, so it was fun to return to the "alternate" version with Rook and Heat. I still prefer the pairing of Castle and Beckett to Rook and Heat, but both have their enjoyable qualities. Heat seems almost superhuman at times, too cool under pressure, less human than Beckett. All in all, a good mystery that kept me guessing until the end. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Aims42 I loved watching Castle when it was airing every week. I haven‘t read any of the tie-in books, perhaps in 2025 I will! 👍 (edited) 3mo

CaramelLunacy I loved Castle! I haven't read any of the tie-ins, but they sound fun. At the very least it is probably time for a rewatch! 3mo

DogMomIrene I‘ve been rewatching Castle and I finally got to season 8, which I missed when it aired. I‘m only a couple of episodes in and talk about bananas! 3mo

The Distant Hours: A Novel | Kate Morton

so-so

I‘ve read a few books by Kate Morton, and The Distant Hours wasn‘t my favorite. I loved the historical fiction, dual timeline story, and setting of an old, European castle. But there were so many little things going on that made the story confusing at times.

DogMomIrene I remember thinking the same thing about this one. I need to pick her up again, though, because I think she wrote something that people said was closer to the goodness of

DogMomIrene @mcctrish I watched the first 4 or 5 seasons and then lost track of it. Love rewatching this campy fun and I‘m definitely looking forward to seeing how it ends, even though I‘ve heard it‘s abrupt. 4mo

mcctrish The wheels fall off 🤣🤣 I think they hated each other 4mo

DogMomIrene @mcctrish That‘s what I heard too. Plus both principal actors were in almost every scene, which is a grueling filming schedule that doesn‘t help. 4mo
