pickA soft pick for book 6 of the Thumps Dreadful water series. Thumps is a suitably cranky misanthrope with a gigantic soft spot (a subplot finds him caring for a litter of kittens) but the mystery was kind of meh and the small town of Chinook might have surpassed the acceptable quota of quirky locals. Still I liked it enough to keep going, appreciated the subtle incorporation of racial politics, and I love kittens! 🤪 I might go back and try book 1.
Headed to our 3rd family gathering in 24 hours and felt a need to bring my book. While I'm grateful to spend time with family, part of me is craving some alone time. 🙃
pickI really enjoy this series and highly recommend it for those who have read and enjoyed oher works by King, and those who like mystery series with calm, laid-back protagonists.
Weird that two books in a row—Pascoe‘s Ghost, by Reginald Hill, and Deep House, by Thomas King—both mention the Edgar Allan Poe poem “Ulalume”.
pickA “Christmas Carol Concept” meets “College Football History”. Well not the Christmas Carol exactly, but it involves ghosts. In this one a college football fan dies. After his death he meets the ghost of Red Grange. Red take the dead fan on a history tour of College Football. A pretty creative idea.
pickThis is my review for a devotional I started reading in 2019. I‘m finished. I didn‘t think it would take me this long but I‘m not starting another devotional this year. I‘m going to take a break from it. I‘ll start another one next year.
