A spicy read that is, somehow, also gentle. Both characters have anxiety and struggle in crowds or new social situations. Their conversations were refreshingly honest.

“Prank or bet” #gottacatchemall (only 1 prompt left now!)

In this Brother Cadfael mystery, a priest is discovered murdered on Christmas morning. I especially liked the historical context, which showed the strife among people supporting different political factions in 12th-century England.

PuddleJumper I loved the TV series. Never got into the books but we have the editions from the 70s with the teeny tiny writing 🤣 1w
TheAromaofBooks I LOVE this series. Highly recommend reading them in order if you haven't read them before, as the characters really develop over time. And the ending of the series is just perfect! 7d
kwmg40 @PuddleJumper I loved the TV series too. Fortunately, my library had this book on audio. I don't do well with teeny tiny print these days myself. 3d
kwmg40 @TheAromaofBooks I've read a few of the books and watched the TV series. Your suggestion sounds like a good one. I really should read the entire series from the beginning. I jumped to this one because I wanted a Christmas-themed mystery. 3d

Empoleon has been caught for #GottaCatchemAll winter edition

Look at him and his trident face. Do you think he just fell into a garden hoe and was like this is my life now?

Second one for #GottaCatchemAll

Same kind of question ... Do they drip? I've not come across them in game so not sure 🤣

First one caught for the winter #GottaCatchemAll

Do we think he's fluffy? Because if he's bread like I'd be nibbling

Zuhkeeyah What if they smelled like fresh bread instead of the usual dog smell? 1w
Kenyazero @Zuhkeeyah I think it would be a tragedy of nature if they didn‘t smell like bread! 1w
PuddleJumper @Zuhkeeyah So much money saved on candles! 😅 1w

I really enjoyed this Inspector Grant mystery -- the final one that Josephine Tey had written. Grant stumbles upon a murder while travelling to the Scotland Highlands for a much-needed vacation.

I am fully here for a queer Arthurian romp. This isn't it.

It's set in a fictitious Catholic England several generations after Arthur and Camelot. The country is split between the Catholics and the Cultists - people who believe in Arthurian legend, it wasn't terribly clear.

Catholicism has no impact on anything. The story is play acting as Medieval Europe full of anachronisms and pop culture references.

PuddleJumper It's silly. Which is fine but then there's threats from Norway, religious friction, fears over succession that we're supposed to take seriously even when the characters do not.

It's frustrating. Either be silly or a well researched historical book. You can't smoosh them together and hope for the best.

2w
PuddleJumper Even ignoring that, because that could be a me thing, this is so boring! The characters are one dimensional. They grow a little as the story develops but not much.

They would have been more interesting with a good dose of Catholic guilt and existential dread.

Bookwormjillk I can‘t stand when a book isn‘t what I want it to be! 2w
PuddleJumper @Bookwormjillk I really wanted a gayer version of BBC's Merlin 😅 I didn't enjoy their Regency books either so may be an issue with humour styles not meshing. 2w
CSeydel Ugh! Worse than just “a bad book” is a book that has so much potential to be really amazing but the author fumbles it. Sorry this one didn‘t work for you - so frustrating 2w
PuddleJumper @CSeydel Yeah, it's a shame because it sounded good! Onto the next one 2w
5feet.of.fury Yeah I agree, especially the way the threats to the throne were just thrown in here or there. 2w
BookmarkTavern Oh I hate that, when a book doesn‘t live up to its promise! Hope your next read is better! 2w
TheAromaofBooks I get so aggravated by books that can't decide what they want to be!! 2w

repost for @PuddleJumper:

2025 #GottaCatchemAll is going to the Alola region! This was introduced in the Sun and Moon games and the region has some different forms for some Pokémon.

There are 27 Pokémon to catch and 5 to evolve

The Storygraph challenge has regular prompts rather than bonus ones so you can complete it

If you want a catch card and monthly stats then log your books. You don't need to do this, it's a fun extra

I've taken on the feedback and the Storygraph challenge has regular prompts rather than bonus ones so you can complete it

PuddleJumper 1. GoogleDrive with all the information and how to find stuff, where to log stuff etc. I'll also upload catch catch here - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1caLfvxpDGf8yLRpvGEybMWVBa8EhEsij?usp=sha... 2w

PuddleJumper @BarkingMadRead ❤️❤️ Hope it's as enjoyable! 2w
Laughterhp I love Stufful. I had to look at Pokemon go to see what region of pokemon this was lol. 2w
PuddleJumper @Laughterhp That's such a great way to catch! I forgot PoGo showed regions. Stuffal is awesome! Damn, I haven't evolved over yet ... Or caught everything from that region 😂 2w

Faranae For book I slept on, if I put a book under my pillow, does that count? 😂

Also, I think I like Emolga best. Maybe they will add it to Sleep.
