#ReadAway2024

Read for #SundayBuddyRead, it‘s a very soft pick from me—too much YA angst & too many characters to keep track of, but I think the concept of different YA authors creating the interlocking stories was good. Some of the characters & stories sparkled more than others, but it was a good pick for a light December read & if I was the intended YA target looking for diversity & representation in my books, I‘m sure I‘d have loved it. ❄️❄️❄️

The reasoning offered in this book for the disappearance of Agatha Christie is as good as truth as far as I'm concerned.

Freeze: the Chilling Richard and Judy Book Club Pick | Kate Simants

pan

This looked a promising thriller in the synopsis & I really enjoyed books set in/on isolated areas. I found this one a little underwhelming though. Although the idea is good, the POVs for Dee & Tori were not differentiated enough by their characters, & I had to keep checking who was narrating a particular chapter as it could have been either. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf I also found it a bit all over the place in terms of pacing & plot progression & it felt very haphazard at times. The 'team challenges' also seemed to take a back seat to general griping & sniping between characters. Disappointing. 2⭐

TWs: death, injury detail, drug use (minor references), strong language.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Serpent's Tail/Viper/Profile Books, for the opportunity to read an ARC. 2d
