This is my first year participating in this prompt. I am excited- found the perfect book for me, a mystery set in Amsterdam & its nearby “provinces”, with a protagonist, who is quite the character. Detective Dekok is a an Amsterdam policeman who is grumpy,irreverent, ignores authority, & is suspicious of new policing methods. So far enjoying this read. The wafels were introduced to me by @Bookwormjillk Add coffee & yum!
Spending a cozy Sunday evening cuddling and reading. We're eexpecting temps to drop into the upper 20s overnight; a crisp night, just right for getting lost in the twists and turns of a good mystery!

Catching up on the crime genre
TMB - a shocking double ending when Thorne once again goes up against his nemesis Stuart Nicklin
TLD - really liked this new 'unconventional' detective and his sense of humour and the general humour of the novel.
pickPropulsive & creepy thriller! Likable main character with a quirky character police department which is always fun. I would like to continue on with the audio series, but I hope it‘s not the same narrator. The female voices were high pitched, childlike, and honestly kind of whiney such that it was annoying to listen to and detracted from the story.

Progress:
cleaned up my book report reads because I haven't touched them in months. Made steady progress with ADWD, and I'm thinking of starting Witness for the Dead next month, as well as Akechi Kogoro. They both seem to be detective fiction which is neat.

Progress:
thus was a hectic week so I haven't got much reading done. Making steady progress with ADWD, I hope to go back to normal scheduling this upcoming week. Switched out I, Lucifer because I was just not feeling like experimenting with long overdue books.
I'm very excited to read this. While ADWD got me back into reading I couldn't get into any other book. When I was adjusting some things the gagged made me remember how much I enjoyed the writer so I'm hoping to jump into it either this weekend or the upcoming week
