Done
#LitsyAtoZ @texreader Thank you for coordinating. I certainly read some good ones.
so-soAt first, I thought the title implied the unruliness of royalty from Alfred to Elizabeth I. Oh, no. It is David Mitchell's irreverent, and sometimes, irrelevant, and a lot of times, blasphemous humor. It was like Finding Waldo. Where are the facts in the midst of a three page rant of why Hollywood killed James Bond? I know he wrote it during the covid lockdown. He must have been so bored. I still like him as a comedian. #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader
panI had some time to kill and had this on my phone, so I thought why not. I enjoyed some of the other short stories in the Shiver Collection.
But this one didn't work for me.
It was very predictable and the open ending left me even more disappointed.

pickFor the most part this felt more like a mysterious RomCom than a Thriller, never the less I enjoyed each minute of it. I honestly think it's the full cast - especially Dolly Parton and Kelsea Ballerini - that made it so likeable.
It's a quaint story and if you won't mind the that the thrilling part only comes way at the end, I would definitely recommend listening to the Audiobook.
pickQuick paced and horrificly engaging.
Kliewer did an explanational job creating an eerie and unsettling atmosphere. Adding a somewhat damaged, but totally loveable narrator made this unputdownable.
The audiobook performance was outstanding as well, it definitely added a lot to the experience.

I have officially finished the #LitsyAtoZ challenge! It was lots of fun!
so-soIsla accepts an invitation to spend Christmas with her estranged sister Clara, but isn‘t too happy about it. When Isla and her husband arrive, Clara and her husband act strangely, and Isla is suspicious. The twist felt a little too contrived maybe, but this is novella length, so maybe that‘s not totally fair to say? 🤔
Not totally horrible but forgettable.

pickI love when McGuire gives us the in-depth dive into characters we've already been introduced too.
She not only writes epic adventures with well love characters, but she so fluently adds such hard topics that I'm always amazed by her brilliance.
Another dazzling addition to the series.
I feel like I need to re-read them all... again.
