so-soMy November #doublespin ! I was pretty bored with this bored.. a lot of fluff that I didn‘t understand the point of it 🤷🏻♀️.. the twist was the best part, but was just ok.. I think a so-do‘s probably being nice.
pickThis was the second creepy house book I read in October! It wasn‘t really YA but read like it—I‘m not sure how I feel about that, but I did really enjoy the book. I liked the characters and was fascinated with piecing together the various clues about the history of the house and the Starling family. And I loved the role that legends and storytelling and dreams played in the plot. However, there were a few writing quirks that got on my nerves. ⤵️
pick#doublespin for Nov and my new favourite Discworld book! I‘m a bit sad that I‘m nearing the end of this series, it‘s so funny & clever. This one I found particularly good, really enjoyed the character of Moist 😆
pickI enjoyed this compilation of short works by Irving. The nonfiction bits were my favorites, oddly, especially the title piece and the Dickens pieces. The “author‘s notes” to the last selection, where he talks about meeting Thomas Mann‘s daughter on an airplane is also great. #doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
Bailing for now on this. I‘ll try it again in print. The narrator just puts me to sleep. I immediately start spacing out when I turn this audiobook on.
#doublespin - November
pickAnother 1000+ pages - 48 hours on the audiobook - in to the Stormlight Archive, and I am loving every minute!
The fact that this world is so full, the characters so real, and the whole experience so accessible - it‘s just incredible.

#doublespin pick done
pick5 ⭐️s. It's a beautifully written story about Mi'kmaq family from Nova Scotia and how their lives play out after the youngest child, a 4 year old girl, goes missing. I felt a connection to the characters almost from the start, and the structure and back and forth between the dual narrators worked really well in this case. This was my September #Doublespin @TheAromaofBooks
Thanks to #roll100 & my November #doublespin I am delighted to move this 2018 #both off my #tbr shelf. This was enjoyable, and I liked seeing Hazel unravel the mystery. 3.5 ⭐️
