My September Favourite: Too Old for this.

This is one of those books that came just at the exact right time for me.
I was recovering from surgery, and feeling a bit low. Then this book came along and made me giggle and forget about the world for a while.

A wonderfully unique Christmas picture book. Perfect for all ages. The monsters are getting the house and everything ready for Santa Claws. It's a frightfully good time! Illustrations are wicked good and I just love everything about this book.

5 stars for this one! It was so much fun!! I don‘t believe I‘ve read Downing before but will definitely read more now. The pacing was excellent. So many twists and surprises. I would love to see this adapted! It would be hilarious! If you‘re in a reading slump, this one will definitely get you out of it!

A delightful little gem. Highly recommend. Especially as an antidote to the mundane Thursday murder club.

The story is crazy and over the top, and the MC Lottie is pretty lovable. On the one hand, she‘s a sweet and unsuspecting senior citizen with bingo games at her church and ailments galore. On the other hand, she‘s left a years-long trail of murders in her wake and isn‘t above committing more to keep her name clear. No one is safe around Lottie.

This be a super fun TV show. I hope someone develops it. 🔪🔨📺

MyNamesParadise I‘m really excited for this one! I think I‘m going to listen to the audio! 2mo

October wrap up. I forgot to add Pet Sematary. I finished it at the end of September but I started over and listened to the audio book in October. Such a great narration! Everything I read was 4-5 stars. The tagged book surprised me. I usually hate books where the narrator is an antihero, and I‘m not in the habit of cheering on serial killers, but Lottie was a hoot! I‘m now gearing up for Nonfiction November. Happy Halloween! 🎃
