Little Saint Nautilus | Duckie Mack

I've never read anything with a nautilus shifter so that's something.

I generally enjoyed this. I didn't like the near constant references to how small Nemo was and his pet name being ‘little one‘ but that personal preference

Can't say im excited by any of these books for #Roll100 !

The two fiction books I think will be DNF/skim read to get them out of the way. The cleaning one is useful, just not excatly a fun thing to read 😅

Ruthiella Hope the next roll is more exciting! 🤞 23h

Rebel Without a Claus | Charlie Cochet

I didn't realize this Christmas series was also an offshoot of another series by this author. Characters from both series‘ show up.

This was a speedrun of a Hallmark film; sweet with no depth.

I didn't like this couple. Leo sounded very, very young and he was infantilised a lot.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage The Christmas ones are weird because it‘s like one large story told from each couple‘s point of view. The book this couple‘s from in the original series is (edited) 2d
PuddleJumper @Booksblanketsandahotbeverage I thought they were just a Christmas series which is why I went for them. I think you need to have read the original books. That would probably help with understanding the relationship dynamics 2d
TheAromaofBooks A pet peeve of mine is books that are interconnected but not very clearly marked as to how to best read them. 2d

I think this is book 20 of a series. I got it free because it's a Christmas one, maybe? It's not a good book.

There was also a forced wholesomeness that I didn't like. Corny tee shirts were referred to as ‘vulgar‘. There were also some weird references about characters that didn't go to church/believe in God.

Not for me.

Xmas Break | J E Rowney

The suggested reading for this is as an adventure book - read a chapter a day until Christmas. I'm glad I didn't do that and read it all in one go, I wouldn't have finished the book otherwise.

This didn't work for me. I didn't enjoy the writing, and the plot was predictable.

Thanks to #Netgalley for the #ARC

This was unrealistic even for a cosy mystery. The humour fell flat for me.

It was free though so I'm not that mad

This is a really strong paranormal slow burn romance. The world building was really good, the relationship felt authentic, and the plot was interesting.

I'm just not interested in that. This is one of the best ones I've read though.

dabbe This is not a question for the game, but what is “fake dating“? I've never heard that term before. 6d
PuddleJumper @dabbe It's where a couple pretends to date, usually for plot contrived purposes. For holiday romance I've seen 'fake dating to avoid matchmaking/being alone at a family dinner/stick it to the ex that they are totally over' 🤣 6d

Battle Ground | Jim Butcher
post image
Mehso-so

This is one long battle sequence, hence the name. I found it very boring to read and ended up skimming most of the book.

Originally, Peace Talks and Battle Ground were one book. I would have preferred that. Cut a few bits out and make the narrative tighter and it would have worked. On its own, Battle Ground is a slog.

⬇️

PuddleJumper Because of the grand scale of things, many character details and plots got lost. Thomas was hardly mentioned for example.

The Murphy thing was very stupid and unnecessary. Harry didn't need more reason to fight. It was cheap.

It's still a well written book but I've not been enjoying this series as much. The last few books were very hard to read and don't have the re-readability of the early books.

A very bland book. The ‘main character‘ was about as interesting as a dishrag.

I don't know anything about the games this series is based on. I shouldn't need to have that knowledge, I'm not sure if that would have helped, it wouldn't have made the characters more interesting
