Mehso-so

I was drawn in by the cover, which is similar to The Keeper of Lost Things. But unlike Hogan's novel, this didn't draw me in immediately and I was considering to bail several times. I couldn't really connect to the MC. Did not understand why she kept her hobby secret as if it was a state secret. The misunderstanding that kept her from getting together with the love interest was jarring.

I hope the ARC was revised before publishing.

My kids left one lonely peanut whatever-it's-called-in-English for me. BTW, my kids call these snacks elephant bogeys. AND my kids said they were just protecting me from making greasy fingerprints on my Kindle. (they know me and my OCD so well)

11hours roughly

Rachel.Rencher Is that a cheeto? Those will definitely leave greasy marks on your book 🤣 4y
julesG @Rachel.Rencher Similar to Cheetos, it's peanut flavoured. They're called "Flips" in German. 4y
Rachel.Rencher @julesG Oh I've never seen that! That actually sounds pretty yummy 4y

Aimeesue @Rachel.Rencher Trader Joe's sells them in the US, where they're called Bamba peanut snacks. They're in the chip aisle and they're awesome! (edited) 4y

A few #Snacks, more or less, for #LitsyPartyOfOne.

My kids have been a great help (Not!), hence the rather low timing so far. I'm determined to get to 12 hours though.

Only two hours so far. Busy day.

#LitsyPartyOfOne turned into a party of two. We have John McLane on. My son's rereading Skulduggery Pleasant, I'm tackling this former ARC from my backlog.
