14books14weeks2023

so-so

Blech. I‘m just not enjoying this series, it started strong but has veered into a realm that doesn‘t do it for me. But with only one book left, I have to finish!

Book 11/14 for #14books14weeks2023 (better late than never!)

TheHeartlandBookFairy

Balibee146 I agree this series went off the boil but think the last book had some good points. Writer constantly decaribes people faces as "all angles" or something like that too if I recall correctly. Weirdly I have these books in the boot of my car to be donated right now. 14mo

janeycanuck @Balibee146 Oh, that‘s good to know about the last book. I‘ve been wanting to know how it ends not actually take the time to read it so this will make it easier to pick up! (edited) 14mo

The Man Who Died Twice: A Thursday Murder Club Mystery | Richard Osman

pick

I enjoyed this one so much more than the first. I was laughing out loud quite often and man, I hope I have a gang like these folks when I am retired.

Book 12/14 for #14books14weeks2023 (really stretching those 14 weeks….)

mrsmarch That mug 😂 14mo

JenReadsAlot I didn't really care for the first one, but @RaeLovesToRead said I need to give the 2nd book a chance!! 14mo

janeycanuck @mrsmarch It‘s from Effin‘ Birds. So many funny things!! 14mo

janeycanuck @JenReadsAlot I was fine with the first one but also read The Marlow Murder Club around the same time and much preferred it. But this second one was much better, if you ask me. Much funnier and interesting. But it‘ll depend on what you didn‘t like about the first. 14mo

TheHeartlandBookFairy I've got one more, I've stretched it out, too 😅 14mo

janeycanuck @TheHeartlandBookFairy 2 more still on my TBR cart. Fingers crossed for end of November!! 14mo

Bookish.SAM Love that mug tucked in there! 12mo

janeycanuck @Bookish.SAM haha! It‘s a fav!! 12mo

The Reading List: A Novel | Sara Nisha Adams

pick

Kinda like if Phaedra Patrick and Beth O‘Leary teamed up - heartwarming & gut punching all in one book.

Book 10 for #14books14weeks2023 (and I did get it finished before the end of the 14 weeks. This might be the best I‘ve ever done!)

This is my TBR for the September monthlong #SummerEndReadathon . Five are for Group Reads…I may have overcommitted 😬😂. Two are left over from #14Books14Weeks2023 . Two are library books that just need to be read.

TheSpineView

willaful I'm quite positive I overcommitted. 😱 1y

TheSpineView Great list! Good luck! 1y

Ruthiella @willaful 😂 We‘ll get through it, one page at a time. 1y

Rock Paper Scissors: A Novel | Alice Feeney

pick

Three POVs and letters from the past was a lot to keep track of and Feeney overhyped at least one thing that she was trying to plant seeds for but enjoyable nonetheless

Book 9 for #14books14weeks2023

TheHeartlandBookFairy

ShyBookOwl I keep starting and stopping this one within the first chapter 😕 1y

janeycanuck @ShyBookOwl the first couple of chapters aren‘t great, everyone feels like sullen teenagers 😬 1y

ShyBookOwl @janeycanuck 🤣 That must be my problem with it! 1y
