pickI loved this comic book thriller! From the comics pages as part of the story to the good guy versus supervillain showdown in the end.
Annie grew up loving comics with her best friend Danny. As adults, they work for the same comic book company. When they both quit, their lives go in opposite directions. When Annie is given the chance to revive a favorite discontinued character, she gets more trouble than she bargained for. #aardvark

Okay… this was super creepy. The author describes it as his “midnight campfire tale”, which feels so apt - you‘re settling in for a slow-burning, spine-tingling story that lingers like smoke. It had a palpable atmosphere, fantastic characters who I really cared about, and a great sense of time and place. I wish some things with the ending had been different, but it fit with the narrative. #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub
so-soEesh. Not my favorite from #aardvark. This felt a little thin and drawn out to me. I eventually ended up skimming. Better editing (and cutting about 75 pages of redundant stuff) could‘ve helped.
Jemma finds employment at a house in New Orleans. She initially thinks she‘s being hired as a tutor, but the family has different ideas and is hiding a lot of secrets. Some may unlock parts of Jemma‘s past.
pickI enjoyed this #aardvark pick. Contemporary fiction with a bit of a mystery at its heart.
Powerful newspaper editor Lila dies leaving her family reeling, especially her youngest daughter Grace who recently published an autofictional book about the family. Grace believes her grandmother, who left Lila and her siblings to an abusive father, may still be alive and in hiding.
December is the month I usually do #bookspinbingo. I just tried using canva to make the card, and it went…okay. Oh well! I‘ll enjoy paring down all the books I‘ve bought this year (errr…this month, too 🫢🤫). #toblonglist #aardvark
Oh @AardvarkBookClub you temptress.
I added, removed, added different ones… and settled on a selection that may be a little less typical for me… but just as exciting. 🤩 #aardvark #aardvarkbookclub
