I'm not sure if I would have liked this better if I were the target audience (which I am decades from being). The italicized chapters written in first POV by the villain were laughable and ridiculous. But it was a quick read that I may just be way too old for.

Today‘s snow day is the perfect day to start this!

I picked it up this weekend so I could read it before seeing the movie with friends. 😊

Got the tree up now settling in for #hyggehour

I got a big chunk of my to do list crossed off this weekend, and some missing packages magically appeared so I‘m feeling pretty ready for the week ahead. I‘m tired though so I‘m going to use this hour to clear my mind and read a mystery.

BookishMarginalia How beautiful! 1d

#hyggehourreadathon
Started this # HyggeTime early, as I am watching the game and reading this book. I am trying to finish this before the movie (meaning I have to do at least 18 pgs a day - not hard)

Cuddling with 2 of the babies under the heated blanket. I start my new job tomorrow, so I'm not sure what I will do during the actual HyggeHour.

The Cousins | Karen M. Mcmanus

Mehso-so

Three cousins are invited to spend the summer at the island resort owned by their grandmother, who they've never met because their parents have been estranged from her for decades. The cousins agree to spend the summer working at the resort, hoping that while they're there they can solve the mystery of what happened between their grandmother and their parents.

Continued in comments ⬇️

CoffeeNBooks This wasn't the best mystery ever, but it wasn't the worst. Some of it didn't entirely make sense and you had to suspend disbelief, especially once you realized what actually happened. It almost feels like the premise would have worked better if it was a Shakespeare play. 2d

I know I‘m late to the Frieda McFadden hype train, but our book club got invited to an early screening of The Housemaid on Wednesday so I read that book so fast 😅. I was excited to see this was directed by Paul Feig. It stayed very close to the book and it was a lot funnier (dark humor lol) than I expected too. Gonna need to continue this series for sure. #KissAndTell

The Liar | Nora Roberts

I enjoyed the unique voice of the main character, but the book is such a slog otherwise. Very little suspense, no sparks with the love interest, and it's so obvious where it's going.

I may just be over N.R. since this is my second DNF. I'm hoping I can find a good Julia Whelan reading for this #AuthorAMonth but they don't seem findable at the library, except one on playaway.
