I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

Escape Clause | John Sandford

A page-turner even though I was listening. Two tigers are stolen from the zoo and Virgil Flowers is brought in to track them down. Then dead bodies start turning up. In the meantime, Virgil‘s girlfriend gets beat up for an unrelated case.

The Long Walk | Stephen King

Pickpick

This is the lower end of the pick scale for me because I don‘t think it needed to be this long. King could have conveyed everything — the tediousness, the hardships, and the slow descent into madness for some of characters of the long walk — in a novella. I‘m also not sure how I feel about the ending.

Just loved this book. It took me a while to get into it but so glad I kept going. By the time the story unfolded I had a good handle on the main characters. I had to really concentrate at times on his beautiful writing. Good tears at the end for me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Suet624 I just realized I never wrote a review of this one! Just finished it a few weeks ago. I‘m with you. I really liked it. now

His Last Bow | Arthur Conan Doyle

Pickpick

A mixed but intriguing collection that showcases both the enduring appeal of Sherlock Holmes and the ways in which Doyle adapted the character to a changing world. While not every story reaches the heights of THE ADVENTURES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES or THE MEMOIRS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, the collection remains essential for Holmes enthusiasts, particularly for its historical significance and the rare glimpse of an older, more world-weary detective.

My new chunkster adventure! With the dreamscape & magical realism elements, the wine is a necessary reading aid. 😅

Absolutely loved this, just ridiculously fun. And fantastic audio reading by Wil Wheaton, as usual. Hyper intelligent cats, unionizing dolphins, bumbling villainous henchmen, what‘s not to love? Mad that I waited so long to read it.

Crank | Ellen Hopkins

Happy almost-May, readers! Our selection for the month is Crank by Ellen Hopkins. Hopkins‘ books were banned more frequently than any other author‘s in recent years.

Also, watch for discussion questions for our April read, The Perks of Being a Wallflower coming soon.
