#BookerLonglist #6

A highly original novel about 3 Ukrainian women on a road trip with some men they keep captive while Russia invades their country. Also, they are looking for a special kind of snail. I loved the fist half and the part which is an interlude by the author herself. Then however I lost interest a bit. So many super interesting story lines and yet I felt like nothing much happened. A so-so for me.

4/5⭐
Murderbot. Filled with fun.
#6 takes us back to novellas. In this one It is going to solve a murder. I still struggle a bit with secondary characters, but love the fast clipping pace and the rye sarcasm. It's just a good quick fun time.

I‘ve blown through the first 4 books of the Sparrow Falls series from Catherine Cowles. Romantic suspense, they are a little repetitive but the characters are compelling, the pacing keeps me reading, and the family dynamic is heartfelt and hilarious. I‘m reading #5 and will then have to wait until fall for #6. Broken Harbor was my #BookspinBingo pick. @TheAromaofBooks

Allowing extra time for finding the right terminal, getting through security, and finding the right gate in an airport you‘ve never been in results in much down time!

So I made another #BookEmojis game! Let‘s see if all can get guessed before I land for my layover!

This is a bit like the third Star Wars movie (#6 in the new canon): slightly disappointing for the diehard fan in me; it feeling a tad formulaic. There is however enough to motivate me to continue to have the stories wash over me- #4 is in the cue.

Here is my list for the #ReadYourEbooks lottery, randomishly pulled from the craptonne of unread books I've acquired for Kindle and/or Kobo.

Thanks for hosting @CBee !

I was wondering whether to carry on with this series, because one of the main character‘s behaviour was so appalling that it was grating on me. But this, the fifth in the series, turned it to a bit of a whodunnit and now I want to carry on and read the rest of the series!
