This is a very interesting story. A woman tries to connect with her Korean heritage and learns of an aunt that went missing during the Japanese occupation. So good.

I was so busy with work that I didn't realize that I was almost done with the book until the happy ending. 😅

This was a fun read! I enjoyed the characters, the plot, and the setting. I give it 4 ⭐️

Beautyland: A Novel | Marie-Helene Bertino

I found this novel quirky and charming, but plodding as well. It's billed as sci-fi, but it mostly shows the insightful perspective of a woman who is different from everyone else.

Cold as Hell | Kelley Armstrong
post image
Pickpick

Kelly Armstrong knows how to grab you and keep you engrossed in her books. They are full of mystery, suspense, and intrigue. Cold as Hell is the third book in her Haven's Rock Series. This series is a spin-off from her Rockton Series she ended after 7 books.

Armstrong's writing was superb in Cold as Hell. I stayed up until after 1 this morning, finishing it. I COULDE NOT put it down. I had to know who it was and what was going to ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read happen because I thought I knew the person. I was wrong! I love that when I can't figure the mystery out.

Armstrong has developed Eric and Casey throughout the Rockton Series and now the Haven's Rock Series. I have watched them mature and grow. It's so great when a writer gives you the chance to fall in love with their characters. When it feels like you are visiting old friends. Armstrong writes in a way that makes you feel like you are right there with her characters going through whatever they are with them.

I just have to say, if you haven't read Kelly Armstrong, I don't know what you are waiting for! If you are interested in the Haven's Rock Series or never read them or the Rockton Series, I would suggest you start with the City of the Lost, the first book in the Rockton Series. That way, you get to know all the characters in the series and the back story. I highly recommend the Haven's Rock Series and the Rockton Series.

Tentative Publication Date:
February 18, 2025

Thanks to Netgalley, Saint Martins Press, and Kelly Armstrong for the E-ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

This one just wasn't for me. I've enjoyed some of Thompson's other writing - he can be brilliantly insightful and cutting, with an ability to call out hypocrisy and hold a mirror right up to your own face - but I struggled with this one, mostly just him and his attorney being out of their minds on drugs. Actually, it was great anti-drug propaganda 😂 I just kept thinking - do people do this for FUN?!😆 Anyway, it was worth the one-off read for me⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but I'll try a different book of Thompson's rather than pick this one up again.

I'm always happy to reread Christie and I'm pretty stoked about the #ChristieCapers readalong that @Librarybelle is hosting. While this isn't my favorite of her mysteries, it's still a great introduction to Poirot, Hastings, and Christie's writing style. This edition also included an alternate ending that Christie had written having the final reveal being in court instead of in the intimate family gathering, so that was interesting.

Librarybelle I like your edition! 1d

TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle - I'm addicted to collecting these editions as they come out!! Gorgeous endpapers, too - https://beautifulbooks.info/illustratedbibliographies/illustrators-and-authors/a... - Although I will admit that they're glued binding so they don't lay flat while reading, which annoys me lol 1d
Librarybelle Lovely! 1d
kspenmoll That is a beautiful edition! 1d
MariaW Beautiful! 💗💗💗 And it‘s nice that you habe the original ending as well. 1d
