This was close to being a “so-so“. The plot was convoluted and barely plausible, and I would have liked to spend more time in Three Pines, but it was still a page-turner with a big finish.

I also liked the new French Canadian audiobook narrator. The previous narrators were great (arguably better) but the mispronounced words made me cringe.

Loved it. 🌶️🥵 great spice. Love how House Gluttony is portrayed, Gabriel‘s plotting & the ICE DRAGONS! Adriana spirals quite a bit, from the perspective of being a single woman without a suitable match who can‘t afford another scandal… it‘s not that I don‘t get it, but ooof. Luckily it doesn‘t dwell there for too long, she was a lil maddening. Really loving this series!

I have to say, I think this is my favorite Discworld book so far. I liked the characters in this one, and the plot was ingenious. Even though it has been over 20 years since this book was published, it is still revelant today. Of course, with Pratchett's signature humor, it was pure fun to read. 4.5⭐️

Ruthiella This was the first Pratchett I read. Loved it! 👍 5h

julesG @Ruthiella That's interesting. Most people either start with Colour of Magic - I didn't, and I'm glad. 😉 1h
julesG Glad you liked it, looking forward to the discussion. 1h
Ruthiella @julesG I bought it at a library book sale on a whim. It turns out to have been a good place to start with the Discworld, now that I‘ve read a handful. 1h
julesG @Ruthiella Just noticed I never followed up with what else people start with. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So either CoM or, in my experience(?), Mort or Witches Abroad. 😁 1h

Super sweet Christmas romance with a single dad, one naughty 6 year old, and a family friend turned nanny. At only 208 pages, this book was a quick listen at work. It had Nicholas Sparks vibes and my only complaint was that it was too short. I liked the characters enough that more development would have been appreciated. 3.5⭐️

Day 2 results for the #WinterGames #HolidayBookDragons @LiseWorks

I read for 8.5 hours yesterday. I finished two books and a third in the early morning hours because of insomnia. I'll count the third book as part of today's results since reading at 2AM is technically today.

Such a stellar story! The enemies to lovers trope can feel so superficial sometimes but this book did it so well. Both characters only had parts of the other's story and once some of those truths were revealed, their relationship grew with empathy. Dylan's struggle with ADHD and Derek's journey with grief were handled with compassion and the two men really grew to love each other and rely on each other, flaws and all
5🌟 highly recommend

This has really pretty, unique illustrations- but it‘s literally just the classic song. Which is - to be quite honest - really annoying. And filled with birds. Where is she going to put all those birds? #WinterGames2024 Team #XmasChaCha #ChristmasChapterChasers #Adventathon @BookmarkTavern #ChristmasAtoZ @Texreader #LetterJ
