The Children of Red Peak | Craig DiLouie

Pickpick

A good story about the five children who survived a cult, four of whom have spent 15 years trying to make sense of it. Chapters from the past and chapters from the present culminate in the discovery of what really happened all those years ago. I had to suspend my sense of disbelief to get to the end of this one. A soft pick as the characters didn‘t really resonate with me, yet the mystery kept my attention.

Somehow the adventures in this book were much more high-stakes than usual, and the storytelling was a bit more solid. We got an excellent look into Reiko's past, Nyanko Sensei's motivations, and Natsume's relationship with his foster family. #Manga

Another delightful set of adventures. Always fun to have returning side characters. The arm reaching through the ceiling definitely made me laugh but I would probably panic if that happened to me 😆 #Manga

It took me a bit to get used to the episodic chapters from this series being serialized in a magazine first. This was another adventurous volume and I enjoyed the yokai and human friends Natsume meets along the way. It was very fun seeing him meet Hinoe. #Manga

The second of 2 redeeming things from some social plans that my bus screwed the pooch on tonight…

That makes 4 SK books scored at a discount for the journey I‘ll be taking myself on through some reads of my dad‘s favorite author in his honor and eventually in his memory.

I‘m not sure if I‘ll be able to purchase any more that are on the list until next month, but now I just want to keep going on this mission!!

AmyG I enjoyed this one. 1d

I used to read lots of his books. Somehow I missed this one. It was not what I expected but I enjoyed it. I liked Jimmy Tock and his family. A different kind of thriller. 4/5⭐️

Raven Boys graphic novel! I loved these books way back when, so I jumped at the chance when my library got the graphic novel in.

Murder Of A Werewolf | April Fernsby

Nope. Tried to read this for the #ChristmasCrimeChallenge
As a rule I don't like cosy anything, but I thought adding a fantasy element might help. It didn't. I could barely make it 20 pages. I think this one is probably bad even if you love cosy books. Would only take two hours or so to read, but life is still too short. I'd rather spend that time searching for a different book.

julesG There's always Fugitive Telemetry - cozy, locked room, and Murderbot. 3d
Nebklvr @julesG I basically listen to them on repeat 3d
Ruthiella You gave it a fair shot! I agree with @jules - expand the parameters for “cozy” and read something you will like instead. 3d

RaeLovesToRead Cosy can be a classic Big Four mystery! (But not The Big Four with Poirot - that sucked!) or a festive one! Or something daft involving scones lol. Drop me a message if you want to buddy read one on my pile 😄 Or just skip the prompt lol. But I love experimenting haha 3d
Leniverse @julesG @Nebklvr @Ruthiella @RaeLovesToRead I've just introduced my spouse and our teen to the graphic audio of Murderbot 😁 But I don't want to use rereads for the challenge. I will cosy up with a blanket and something Golden Age I haven't read yet. None of this newfangled cozy crime for me 😂 3d
RaeLovesToRead Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz is cosy but brilliant. Unlikely to trigger the aversion!!! 2d
Leniverse @RaeLovesToRead I enjoyed the movie, Not sure I have forgotten enough of it yet, but otherwise a good suggestion! 2d
