This is always my least favorite book of the series, but this time I appreciated seeing Harry‘s first trip to the Burrow. I love how he immediately feels at home and makes Ron understand that he shouldn‘t be embarrassed by it. Fawkes is the other highlight. Harry would have been killed in an instant without him. It‘s also the book where Harry feels confident (at the end) about his placement in Gryffindor.

I set myself my own version of my favourite challenge #booked given it is not, for understandable reasons running. My husband and I had fun setting date related challenges and my book of poetry for WH Auden birthday was an enigma. I find poetry super intimidating but was pleased with this choice. The structure of many of the poems are deceptively simple (4 line verses, mostly alternating rhyme) but there were many poems here that will stick ⬇️

I‘m not sure we can trust goodreads there‘s some fantastic books 📚 on there not rated as highly as you‘d expect but then again reading is such a personal thing ; anyway I‘m only 50 odd pages into this and I‘m loving 🥰 it , if it hadnt have been recommended to me I doubt I‘d have picked it up , must admit I can‘t remember Rosaline in Romeo and Juliet so reading the play alongside it

"The deception could not continue after this;"
This is how I like Miscommunication as a plot device. Resolved in 1 Chapter rather than taking almost 45 hours. ??

I will never be able to read a Heroine with a dirty petticoat and not think of this book. That being said, this was not for me. It's well written just not to my taste. Yes bodily functions happen and hygiene was different then; but I don't actually want to read about menstruation and unshaven armpits. 😳

Wow. My 4th Bail this year. That's a record. The older I get the easier it is for me to say nope moving on. Lots of people love this book, I just wasn't in the mood for a mother who died sleep swimming. Since it's for a Book Club that I don't always attend decided to Bail. #imho

Honestly I'm reading this because someone on Goodreads gave it 1Star Review instead of Shelving it as DNF. Don't know how to make a dedicated DNF shelf? Delete book and move on. It's not fair to give a bad review just because it's not 'Cozy' mystery you prefer. While they didn't actually finish the book; they did count all the Swear words they came across. 🤪

I'm not a big fan of Litsy's ratings. The "So-so" rating is equivalent to a 3/5 stars for me. But "so-so" makes it sound like I didn't enjoy it! Anyway, I quite enjoyed Hammers On Bone. It's creepy & Imaginative and a little shocking at the end. It's a great winter read. This is a Lovecraftian take on a detective story. So expect ancient ones and tentacles. ?
