Slash and Burn is the 8th book in the Dr Siri Paiboun series, and I just love these books. This one had the main characters all together on an away mission, working with a group of Americans, which was a fun change of pace. The humor is right up my alley, the mystical element adds a certain eerie flair, and I always enjoy the 1970s Laos setting. Highly recommend!

July — You Like It Darker
August — The Elephant Vanishes

I can‘t decide which collection of short stories I preferred. They were both excellent! Hmmm… #topread2024 #readingbracket

Is it cheating to use the same book for two months? 😂

This book is packed with information and I‘m taking my time and savoring it, trying to absorb the cultural moment that Gould is describing. It requires my full attention (meaning I‘m not reading it in quick hits throughout the week) as it combines history, sociology, psychology, musicology, biography, and cultural analysis. Incredibly written and, at times, hilarious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My pick for April was Skeleton Creek.
“Strange things are happening in Skeleton Creek . . . and Ryan and Sarah are trying to get to the heart of it.“
I loved this YA mystery. It takes place in 2 parts, Ryan's journal entries and Sarah's video clips. The book gives you passwords to use on a real website so that you can watch her video clips. I highly recommend this for kids or kids at heart.

Graphic Novel #ReadingBracket
April Pick is the entire series of Something is Killing the Children

“When children begin to go missing in the town of Archer‘s Peak, all hope seems lost until a mysterious woman arrives to reveal that terrifying creatures are behind the chaos - and that she alone will destroy them, no matter the cost.“ (VIA Goodreads)

I read the entire series in a few days. I loved the story and the artwork.

#Romance #ReadingBracket
April Pick is Find Me.
“One year ago, my family was murdered by the man who has stalked me but I got away & he‘s still out there, searching for me. Thanks to WITSEC, I‘ve been given a new life & identity.
My uncle has helped me glue myself back together & given me the tools I‘ll need to survive. I‘m not fixed & my grief is heavy, but I‘m at a point where I can try to move on.“ (Via Goodreads)
