BookishMadHatter @Sace thank you so much. I just started the purple panel and am looking forward to seeing it all done. I am not looking forward to weaving in all the ends though lol 2d

A recent knitting/crochet slump has made for a lot more reading time, but I've cast on this blanket as a mindless project to work on as I read and we'll see how it goes

I guessed early on whodunnit but still wanted to read on and be sure. The last third or so I ate through rather quickly.
I really wish the author would start writing haunted house stories again; hers are some of my favorites

My April reads.

I filled in my #bookspinbingo board and then some, finished two series, and got caught up on several more. Yet amazingly, my tbr hasn't gotten shorter ... weird 🤷‍♀️

KadaGul @BookishMadHatter To be honest, the reality is that the TBR (To Be Read) list will never get shorter 🤣🤣 1w
slategreyskies @KadaGul haha! Agreed! 🤣 1w
BookishMadHatter @KadaGul nope. If I'm lucky it'll have the same number if I only add as many as I read lol. But it's also kind of nice to know that I'll always have books that I'm looking forward to reading 1w

It's hard getting through a lot of this book because I hate almost every single key player. It's one thing to have a few characters to hate, or even some you love to hate, but there's so many who are just intolerable.

BookishMadHatter @PuddleJumper I've read all of the Cold Case Psychic (except the latest) as well as her entire Haunted Souls series. I enjoy them as a kind of breather read. They're easy, quick, and fun with a big found family dynamic 1mo

BookishMadHatter @CourtneyA right? I have no patience for the next installment when it comes to series I enjoy so a part of me gets really happy when I come across a book I know I'd like and realize there are others before, even if I really want to read the one I found immediately lol 2mo

As much as I hate giving up on books, I tried again today, but I have to call it. I may come back to it another time, but I'm about a 1/4 of the way through and everything is bugging me, boring me, or feels like High school dramatics and I'm forcing myself to read (which is the exact opposite of what reading is supposed to be like, at least for me), so I'm moving on to another read. Again, this could be my strange mood/mindset lately

dabbe #hailthebail! 🤩🤩🤩 2mo
BookishMadHatter @dabbe I don't do it often, but I'm finally okay with giving up after giving a book a fair shake. There's too many other ones out there that I will enjoy to force my way through one I dont 2mo

I don't know if it's me or not, but I'm a little more than 50 pages in and this book is irritating me. Not because of the story, but the chapters feel too long and then last night I read that tidbit 👆 and got irrationally angry with it and had to close the book and walk away
