Twist of Fate (Reissue) | Jayne Ann Krentz

Mehso-so

Originally published in #1986 , this one by Krentz does not quite stand the test of time for me. The possessive attitude of Gideon, the male lead, was a bit grating. Romance aside, I liked the premise of the story - anthropological findings and danger at every turn. Themes of list and greed too. #192025 #1986 #52bookclub23 #featuringoneofthesevendeadlysins

Cinfhen Some books really do feel dated! Glad you were able to check off a prompt 💕 14mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @Cinfhen ! 14mo

I did a reread of this book from the Vorkosigan series, one of my very favourite sci-fi series. This time around, I listened to the audiobook, superbly narrated by Grover Gardner.

This is my #1986 entry for the #192025 challenge. @Librarybelle

It also brings me to 8 hours and 40 minuets for the #20in4 readathon. @Andrew65

kwmg40 A question for Vorkosigan fans ... who the heck are these characters on the cover? I assume Miles is the one sitting down. Are the others Elena and Bazil? I hope Elena had time to change her shoes before heading into those space battles! 😅 2y
Andrew65 That‘s some cover! Well done 👏👏👏 2y

"A" is for Alibi | Sue Grafton

So for the #19822022 challenge I decided to finally read the A is for Alibi series! I am absolutely loving them! I love Kinsey‘s attitude and the cases she solves. It‘s a great series so far and I‘m so glad I‘ve started finally. My library does a tailored titles every weekand when I put this series on there, they suggested One for the Money, which I‘ve loved for years, so this series is a perfect fit! #1982 #1985 #1986 #1987

Librarybelle Hooray! I enjoyed A is for Alibi and need to get back to the series! 2y

I want to go back in time and love this in #1986 my last book to complete #CenturyReads 100 years/100 books. I have always liked animal fantasies such as Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH so I don't know why I hadn't read it before now, but I will definitely continue. #BBRC anthropomorphic before 2010 @LibrarianRyan #SeriesRead2021 @TheSpineView

Plenty of adventure, different dialects, a great villain. Just wonderful.

I remember seeing this series in airports...it was fine. A newspaper writer solves crimes with the help of his tow cats. This one involved a gourmet attorney who hosts artists at his mansion. People begin to disappear. A cute and fast read. The plot was too thin for my taste and the ends all tied up too neatly and quickly at the end. #1986 #40thbirthdaychallenge #roadtrip

The Secret of Annexe 3 | Colin Dexter

I think this would be one of my favourites in the Morse series. Quite a lot of detail in this one, and one that the reader can get their teeth stuck into as they try to theorise who the killer was and how they did it. Also a lot of Morse and Lewis in it, and dialogue between them, and between them and the suspects or witnesses. Recommended. #1986 #CenturyofBooksChallenge

I did it!!! I finally finished IT on audiobook. At 44 hours, it is my longest audiobook to date. I'm equal parts sad and happy that it's over. It's one long ass book. But such an amazing story. Even though it's totally out of order, I will count this as my reread of IT for #epicstephenkingreread. I wanted to read it again before the movie, so I had no choice! #1986 #book22 #butreallybook4

merelybookish Congrats! 44 hours is LONG! 7y
JPeterson I did this on audio as well! It was crazy long, and I thought I would never finish it before I had to return to the library, but I did....and totally worth it. 😄 7y
Soubhiville So good! I recently finished the audio as well. 7y

Letmetakeashelfie I can't say I've ever listened to anything of his in audio format but can we talk about the cool new covers? 7y
Ashley_Nicoletto Holy cats! 😻 that is quite the accomplishment. 7y
Indexasaurus It is super long but soooo worth it. Steven Weber does an awesome job! 7y
JulAnna Good for you! I listened to It this spring and I agree, the narrator was awesome! I thought it was a lot of fun to re-read on audio! 😊 7y
mcipher That is insane! I hope it was good on audio. I imagine it would be killer with an ensemble cast. 7y
MinDea Oh man! Congratulations! I was going to buy this book and try to read it before seeing the movie, but over 1000 pages, I just couldn't do it! 7y
