Finished this book on 10/21. Absolutely loved it. A creepy house, a hole into hell, and lots of mysteries to unravel. I probably enjoyed it a bit more hearing Alix discuss her book.

This is a short story within the Nocturne Falls world. A spell goes wrong and Corette loses her memory. She needs to remember the man she loves before midnight!

Finished 10/21 during my #scarathlonsprint

I‘ve read this a few times, but this is the first time I‘ve done the audiobook. I still loved it, and jumped a few times when listening to this on walks. The book is so different from the movie (though I like them both.)

gossamerchild Yes, the book was fabulous! SK is such a hit or miss for me, but this book is so well-written and compelling. I love the movie equally, though ;-D 5mo

A fast paced techno thriller. Bigger than life Elon Musk type Cy challenges ten people to evade his surveillance technology for thirty days. If they do they get 3 million dollars. This book moved, and was hard to put down once I started.

This one is a soft pick, a collection of 8 variations of Little Red Riding Hood. I reserved this one back in August so I could read it for September's #Fairytalereadingchallenge ( @Charityann ) but it just arrived on Tuesday!! These were all a bit ridiculous and my favorite part was probably the author's foreword explaining why the original story is also ridiculous haha

TheAromaofBooks Read this one at lunch yesterday for my #BirthdayBash & also so I could check off reading an entire book for #OminousOctober (Wolf Frenzy!!) @Littlewolf1 @Roary47

A few reviews today... This one is the next Leaphorn & Chee book, and it was quite fun to have these two characters finally working together! Hillerman does a great job contrasting their detecting styles as well as using them to illustrate how even people from the same culture/similar backgrounds can grow up to have completely different perspectives about life. The mystery itself was also quite good - so far, this series is getting better with ⬇️

TheSpineView Excellant! 2y

Oh my goodness, I am SO overwhelmed and touched by all the lovely birthday wishes and by everyone who took the time not just to read yesterday, but to think of me while you did! ❤️ Thank you to all of you for making my birthday so special!!! Yesterday was a really long work day for me but I honestly love my job and the weather was beautiful, so even though I didn't get a lot of reading in, I still had a lovely day. PLUS my husband got off early⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) enough to take me to supper!!!

This photo is actually from my picnic-lunch-in-the-back-of-my-delivery-truck last Friday because I forgot to take a picture yesterday, but it was a very similar meal 😂

Once again, thank you to everyone for reading along & for wishing me a happy birthday even if you didn't have time to read. Hopefully I don't miss any of you with this tag list!!!
