Reading plans for Orilium this month. Veta Mae is working on year 2 as a scribe.
pickKJ Charles is an excellent Romance novelist but unfortunately I don't enjoy romance. So I was delighted to discover she had written a historical mystery set in turn of the century Oxford. Enjoyed the characters a lot, there is a little romance but it was well integrated into the plot. Mystery was well done. Overall very solid, strong pick.
pickSomeone recommended this book after I complained about third act break-ups. This one doesn't feature this plot-trope.
Chloe and her father are getting by by making an "unnamed sauce" and selling it in their little village. Jeremy has been visiting the village for a few days every year, except the last three. She's just a village girl, he's a duke. He's going to leave again after a few days, she's going to pine for him. Or maybe not?
pickSeven students start their relevant courses at Oxford University and become friends then one is murdered. Ten years later a quest by one of the remaining six is started to discover who the murderer was.
Due to its content I wouldn't describe the book as enjoyable but more satisfying. The story is really about friendship, relationships, the realities of life along with the treacherous behaviour of one. A slow storyline but it is still worth reading
pickRead rather a lot this month plus 7 ebooks
Favourite was definitely the tagged book, one of my favourite authors‘ best series!
Started #HyggeHourReadathon early tonight- plan to walk near sunset when it‘s cooler. Looks like Poe read himself to sleep! 😂😂#catsoflitsy
There lies an empty bowl that once had peach crisp with whipped cream. Poe likes to lick the whipped cream when i am done. 🍑 🐈😺
It‘s a poke + crime fiction night. This historical mystery from KJ Charles somehow gives off the same vibes as Maureen Johnson‘s Truly Devious books, but for an adult audience and with a somewhat more recent cold case in which the friend group has a personal stake. I‘m eager to read on.
panThis is the second book in the series. The MCs feel predictable and a little annoying.
Plot by anarchists to set off a bomb some where at some time during the 1893 world fair in Chicago. That however feels like background to all the other things going on in the book. It feels a little chaotic. It‘s not hard to follow and not difficult to figure out. A lot of unnecessary other going on. I don‘t know if the series is long, I‘m done though.
