James: A Novel | Percival Everett

Pickpick

After a soft picks and a so-so for #CampLitsy24 I‘m happy this was a solid pick for me. I loved this book. I listened to the audiobook and it was fantastic. I felt like I was right there with the characters. I‘ll save more thoughts for our camp discussions.

This was my first book by Everett, but I will definitely pick up more.

Librarybelle I‘m torn about reading this one…I am not a Twain fan, so was not a fan of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. 7mo

What a difference 9 years makes. I first read this in 2015. Then again now in preparation for reading Julia. The world has changed and so has the impact of this book.

The Twelve Days of Murder | Andreina Cordani

Pickpick

With elements of Agatha Christie‘s And Then There Were None…a group of college friends get together over Christmas in an isolated manor. Cue a blizzard and a murderer on the loose.

This kept my interest and had enough suspects and red herrings to have me keep second guessing the final reveal. None of the characters were really likable, except maybe Charly, and there are some pretty gruesome scenes.

Hooked_on_books I‘ll have to keep this one in mind! I actually love a locked room mystery where everyone is unlikeable. I think it works really well! 13mo
BarbaraBB I have to remember this too for the same reason @Hooked_on_books does. 13mo
