pickWell this was a creepy thrill ride. I must admit that I found the first part set during the war more gripping than the second. It wasn't until the final showdown that I was hooked to the second part. That being said it was still a really good read. Such a creepy and at times twisted story. There are some rather questionable family dynamics in this. The ending was really good though #Netgalley 4*
Been reading this one for the better part of the day. It‘s by Darcie Wilde. Really interesting and well written book. Just what a “who-done-it?” Or “what-is-going-on-here.” mystery should be. It is a ARC I‘m reading for Net Galley.🙂📚💜🌙💙🌙🩷🌙💜🙂

so-soIt is obvious that the author fully researched the time and places of Philadelphia‘s life. Unfortunately, for me, too little actual evidence remains to build a true picture of her subject. She has conjured an appealing portrait of Philadelphia and those of her acquaintance but there‘s not enough substance in my opinion to feel I now know about Jane Austen‘s Remarkable Aunt.

pickAnother great story, and great characters (who I loved)! You can never go wrong with a Hannah Linder book! I love her writing, and her characters!

so-soI procrastinated reading the procrastination book!
I was drawn to this book as I'm neurodivergent and struggle with procrastination.
I read this on my Kindle and much of the book was unreadable. Sections had no spaces between words, words would be different sizes or bolded. I assume these were formatting errors that would be sorted out before publication.
Unfortunately, this made it difficult to read and the worksheets looked odd.

pickA baby is found washed upon the shore of an Irish fishing village in the 1970s. Ambrose Bonnar, a local fisherman, decides his family should keep him but Brendan is an odd boy, given to offering benedictions to the other villagers, and despised by his ‘brother‘ Declan.
This was a little reminiscent of Coast Road, but not as good - there was too much about fishing for my liking. A pick, but #borrownotbuy.

Started three different ARCs. Because that's how I'll definitely get through my #NetGalley #MountARC faster. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
