The Name of this Book Is Secret
The Name of this Book Is Secret | Pseudonymous Bosch
Warning: this description has not been authorized by Pseudonymous Bosch. As much as he'd love to sing the praises of his book (he is very vain), he wouldn't want you to hear about his brave 11-year old heroes, Cass and Max-Ernest. Or about how a mysterious box of vials, the Symphony of Smells, sends them on the trail of a magician who has vanished under strange (and stinky) circumstances. And he certainly wouldn't want you to know about the hair-raising adventures that follow and the nefarious villains they face. You see, not only is the name of this book secret, the story inside is, too. For it concerns a secret. A Big Secret.

More caffeine? SURE! Why not?!

This book was cute, but I don‘t think I‘m going to carry on and read the second one. Which makes for 2 more books off my shelf for #TheUnReadShelfProject. Although I‘ve bought a ton of books this month, I‘m also trying to read off my shelf as much as possible to balance the numbers 😅

Graciouswarriorprincess I use my TBR pile for my challenges if they fit. I just took eight bags of books to the used book store. I sat in my car and read while they went through them due to Covid. I actually have room on my bookcases but moved my TBR piles into my bedroom corner. 4y
Clwojick @Graciouswarriorprincess aside from maybe 15 books, all 450-500 books I own are unread. 😅 Unless the book is important to me, they all get passed along or donated 4y
Graciouswarriorprincess @Clwojick I normally donate my books to my two library systems. One has a used bookstore in a local mall run by the friends of the library while the other system does a used book sale at the fairgrounds once a year. Now with Covid, they don‘t want used books. So I took them to the used book store, gave the store credit to one of my friends by putting it in her mailbox and then put the rest in several free little libraries. (edited) 4y

It‘s not too often that I come across a main character in a book who shares my name. ♥️

After reading this for an hour, I‘m close to the half way point so I‘ve decided to finish it since it‘s such an easy read and I‘m enjoying it well enough.

RachelAmphlett I cracked up when I first met my narrator Alison who does the Kay Hunter series - she shares the same name with one of the victims in book 2 - I mean, what are the chances?😂 4y

Here is my picks for #bookspin & #doublespin for May.
I was really bad this month and did not read You Are A Badass or The Host, which were my picks for April but I plan on reading both of them and my two May picks this month. Sometimes life throws lemons at you & you gotta add some vodka and just roll with it.
@TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks One day at a time, right?? And just let me know when you read your April books that they are April's books & I will check them off the list!! Good luck!! 4y
InkedBookworm13 @TheAromaofBooks thanks. And I will. 🤗 4y

Here is my picks for #bookspin #doublespin and #triplespin for April.
I did read my doublespin for March (Hush, Hush) but I bailed on my bookspin (My not so perfect life) about a quarter of the way through because the book was just not for me.
I can't wait to see what April's numbers are. 🤗

I very much liked the beginning – but from the middle on it bored me.
Too much a children‘s book (for reader‘s around the age of 10). All the “suspense” just seemed exaggerated to me.

So I bailed because the story couldn‘t distract me from all the stress I have at work at the moment. 😟

Additionally I accidentally found out that the book is the first volume of a series – and remember: No more book series for me … 🤷🏽‍♀️

julesG My kids loved it. 😁 5y
Buechersuechtling @julesG That might be a hint – I‘m far away from being in a “kids‘” age … Sometimes I fear to have become so grown-up that I lost my ability to get engaged with something without analysing it. 🙄 5y

Littens, inform the media‼️📣

This is the second, maybe maximum the third author whose books I read who learned and/or understood and/or already knew from the beginning of times that _footnotes_ are way cleverer than _endnotes_‼️

The photo above is in case you doubted – what you, of course, I would never do 😉 – what I said in the blurb before about the first chapter and its text containing only of upper- and lowercase “x”.

blurb

No, not far in at all but what I saw is already promising.

The letters on the front cover and the lock are a relief. The first chapter contains of only the letter “X” or “x” and the author shall actually keep a big secret – that‘s probably why the title says “The Name of this Book is a Secret” – but he obviously can‘t keep it – because he deliberately admits he has never been able to keep a secret.

Wonderfully witty. Let the games begin‼️😃

@CouronneDhiver @Litsy Now I see perfectly that your answers to my question why a book is rated without blurb or review is applicable. ???‍♀️ – As I said before: Thank you for your kind answers.

As I outsmarted myself this week with Kai Meyer‘s „Der Pakt der Bücher“ I purposely didn‘t bring a book for the weekend but decided to minimise the stack I have at my significant other‘s. The tagged one is the book he took as I made him draw lots.

I think I had set my expectations too high for this book. I had flipped through the first few pages and thought the premise was so fun... but the story itself was just... meh.. and I think that kids would be thrown off by the language this book uses. Not a fan.

So this is really it now. Dinner done, did my night-time rituals (short bath and all that jazz), and now ready to dive back again to this chunkster of a novel whose title will remain a mystery for the #1001BookSwap #SEAReaders, with the reading journal conveniently covering the book. Goal is to read at least two hours before turning in for the evening. Tracking my progress thru my iphone stopwatch. #Readathon #DeweysReadathon

You guys the most amazing, incredible thing ever just happened to me!!! I don't even know how to explain it.

Ok. Here goes. In the mail today I just got this totally unassuming package. Note the sender.

I was clueless. Who is this from? I haven't signed up for anything or ordered anything.

What could it be?

So I opened it.

And gasped and screamed so loudly I think I hurt my throat.

Also I currently can barely breathe.

Omg. Omg. Omg.

Cass and Max-Ernest investigate the mysterious death of local magician Pietro Bergamo. Frequently during the course of the book Pseudonymous chastises himself for writing the secret, going so far as to change his mind and stop halfway through, only to bribe himself into completing the story with chocolate.

Funny and mysterious! It was a very whimsical story. 🌟🌟🌟🌟4/5.
