pickI loved this illustrated #Discworld story featuring Rincewind and Cohen the Barbarian's horde. Pratchett includes many cultural references, such as one to 2001: A Space Odyssey, poking gentle fun at them, with hilarious artwork as accompaniment.

pickMy first Mieville in English! I was a bit scared to read this chunkster, but I think I managed pretty well. I had to fight sometimes to make it through, but as always, Mieville is worth it.
The world-building is just amazing, and I got sucked into this special world. We deal with a lot during this story. Politics, betrayal, death, but also friendship, honesty and making things right.

I can't believe that I managed to fill my #BookSpinBingo board this craptastic month. With the asterisk that I'm still reading my #Bookspin book.
My #BacklistReadathon books were Siege and Storm & Ruin and Rising, both by Leigh Bardugo.
I'm going to give up my “oldest book on the tbr“ square because I always DNF it. Instead I'm thinking of challenging myself to read a sample from the oldest books, maybe once a week. Anyone want to join me?
pickBk3 of August was finished a week or more ago. I am still trying to read even if I‘m not posting here, struggling with life a bit still. My daughter just bought me two new books as a gift, including the latest in this Will Trent series so I‘m powering through the rereads to get to it. Another top entry by Slaughter, this one centres on Angie, Wills hateful wife. She def knows how to write damaged women. #SeriesLove2024 #BacklistReadathon
so-soLieutenant Eve Dallas & partner, Detective Delia Peabody, investigate the murder of one of their own. Detective Amaryllis Coltraine has been killed by an unknown assailant - most shockingly she was killed with her own weapon. Evidence points to it being someone Coltraine trusted, perhaps even loved.
OK now it seems that it took me a long time to read this, but I did take a hiatus so I actually read most of this in a couple of days. (continued)
so-soZoe & Jonathan Mahonie move to city of Hereford & move into a modern-looking house, unaware that it had been the scene of a suicide several years before. Now Jonathan is away & Zoe calls in Diocesan Exorcist, Merrily Watkins, as Zoe says that she has been hearing a woman's laughter & seeing a woman who looks very much like the previous resident, Susan Lulham.
so-so2024 review.
I pretty much stand by my 2018 review. Although it's a twisty case, there are moments when your attention wanders & it seems to go on forever before the long awaited conclusion. I'm also remembering why Maeve Kerrigan's character irritated me in these first few books. 3⭐
