With this clever little novella finished today I have finished all but 2 of my #bookspin and #doublespin books for the year.

Apparently, I have a thing for second books in fantasy novella series that (purportedly…barely) feature vampires. I was quickly reminded of the second book in Seanan McGuire‘s Wayward Children series, Down Among the Sticks & Bones. I liked that one better than the series opener, Every Heart a Doorway, & I liked this one better than the first in this duology, Silver in the Wood. I think this may be an unpopular opinion but it‘s one I stand by! 👇🏻

monalyisha 1/1: The setting, a seaside town with the looming ruins of an ancient abbey, may‘ve also had something to do with my favorable rating. Or maybe a lifetime of Buffy adoration has simply ruined me. 9h
Soubhiville I loved this duology, discovered through #NewYearWhoDat 😁 9h
monalyisha @Soubhiville So very glad I changed that name. 😅 8h

My Boyfriends are all Monsters: It was really good and then ? wtfffff

There are 2 more, but my brain has moved on from this Amazon Original Series.
What I read was really good!
Monsters was so good and mysterious, but then it got so weird. When she said "Hemlock", I got chills. But yeah, the ending.

I‘m usually skeptical of holiday specials in a series, but I enjoyed this continuation of the character‘s relationships, & the mystery was very interesting as well. A little bit sappy as the immortals search for the perfect gifts for eachother, including a somewhat misguided decision to gift a mystery in an attempt to keep married life from being a bore.

I listened to 3 versions of the audiobook and chose this one. It is also on sale for two more days for slightly more than the one in my previous post. #whattheDickens @Cuilin

Cuilin Fabulous. I have the short stories in book form. I didn‘t even think to look for this in audio, great information. 17h

It‘s not very expensive to begin with but if you want a deal, this version of the audiobook is on sale for two more days.

Missing in Death | J D Robb
post image
Pickpick

Aboard the Staten Island ferry a scene of horror awaits: a public bathroom covered with blood, a missing tourist, & a killer who seems to have disappeared into thin air. Det Lt Eve Dallas is called in to work the scene & find the missing tourist - is she the victim or did she just see something she shouldn't have?

OutsmartYourShelf This was a great quick read, & it had a wonderfully involved plot for a short story of under 100 pages. Even enough room for a little friendly snark between Dallas & Peabody. 4.5🌟
