#LittensLoveRomance with over half of the vote, we have our seasonal pick - a twist on A Christmas Carol with some ghostly adventures. I think this is a neat premise and I‘m looking forward to it. We‘ll read 3 chapters a day starting Dec 15 and we‘ll take a break on Christmas Day in case it‘s too busy to get much reading in for some of our participants. Let me know if you want to join in on my daily posts 🎄👻

Detective Aunty: A Novel | Uzma Jalaluddin

Thank you for this interesting list, @DebinHawaii! I've read a few already and some, like the four on the right, you might have plucked from my TBR.

I'm looking forward to getting to them in January (and probably throughout next year).

Murder Most Actual | Alexis Hall

pick

#ChrismasCrimeChallenge @RaeLovesToRead @Ruthiella

Chimney - locked room mystery

True crime podcaster Liza and her corporate financier wife Hanna want to spend Easter in a luxury hotel in the Scottish Highlands. Hanna planned it to rescue their marriage. It soon turns into a Murder Mystery Weekend with real victims.

Very Christie-esque, with chapter headings reminiscent of Cluedo.

RaeLovesToRead This looks cute! 1mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead It's cozy, it blends the homage to Christie (weird characters with secret connections to each other) with modern true crime podcasting and marital problems of a same sex interracial couple. It was a good read. Different from what Alexis Hall usually writes. 1mo

RaeLovesToRead Is it only available on Kobo though? 1mo

See All 15 Comments

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Unfortunately yes. It was less than €10 in audio and the ebook would have been less than €7 1mo

Ruthiella This challenge is clearly right up your street! You are acing it! 🎄🔪💀🎅🏻 1mo

julesG @Ruthiella Thank you! It's an 'excuse' to ignore #MountTBR and #MountARC 1mo

RaeLovesToRead Sadly I have no Kobo :( 1mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead Neither do I. Hence I got the audiobook and then downloaded the app to listen to it. The ebook would have worked on the app as well, but I don't like reading books on my phone. 1mo

RaeLovesToRead Ah, I thought I'd need a Kobo device for the audiobook! 1mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead nope, just the app. 1mo

RaeLovesToRead Me looking for excuses to buy more devices 😏 1mo

RaeLovesToRead *buys 3 more ereaders* it's for the CHANNEL. It's JOURNALISM! 1mo

rwmg It's free on the KoboPlus subscription service. 1mo

julesG @RaeLovesToRead 😂😂 1mo

julesG @rwmg Thanks! 1mo

Cinder House | Freya Marske

Haven't shared my #weekendreads in a while.

Cinder House (ARC) - novella, retelling of Cinderella, but only loosely connected to the fairytale, includes queer lovestory and some spice 🌶️🌶️

City of Stairs (🎧) - it's been on #MountTBR for ages

Ladies in Hating (ARC) - two Gothic novellists w/ a past, w/ current beef, but also w/ chemistry, sapphic 🌶️🌶️🌶️

@rachelsbrittain

rachelsbrittain I adored Cinder House! Looks like a great lineup. 3mo

Bookworm54 I loved City of Stairs! Great series 3mo

#Read100

My first finished book of September, I finished this one for #FictionalTraveler #September #EnglishSpeaking & September #Roll100 #77 #AnyBOTM Overall, I enjoyed this one, although it drug in parts. The unique premise of an unmarried British woman who comes home after her friend‘s hen party to find she‘s married & her attic keeps “replacing” husbands with no end in site. Lauren made some choices I judged & thought over-the-top but ⬇️

DieAReader, PuddleJumper, julieclair

DebinHawaii … then again, I don‘t have a husband-making attic so what do I know!🤷🏻‍♀️ Probably a 3.5 for me but it was fun & it is a debut so got me closer to finishing my #BOTM challenge. (edited) 3mo

julesG Your review is great. I'll bump the book up #MountTBR 3mo

DieAReader 🥳🥳Excellent!! 3mo

PuddleJumper 🎉🎉 3mo

julieclair It certainly sounds like a different kind of read! Stacked! 3mo
