This was a fun mystery, nothing groundbreaking. I enjoyed the banter and Mart's huge words. However, I needed more horses 😂 The villain felt ridiculously obvious here, but the other aspects of the mystery (how, why, time capsule, clues, etc) were fun.

TheAromaofBooks #BobWhiteBuddies !!! I totally missed September's book and I apologize. September was just... not good. ANYWAY. Any thoughts on this one? I felt like Sammy was almost the anti-Dan story - an example of someone refusing to take advantage of the good paths being offered. I'd love to hear your thoughts!!

lauraisntwilder There's not a lot about horses, you're right, except for Bobby and Mr. Pony. Speaking of which, wouldn't Reagan have seen Hoppy in the woods when Mr. Pony got spooked? 2d

BookmarkTavern @lauraisntwilder Bobby says that Reagan was over working by the road, so he might not have seen it. 1d
BookmarkTavern Also, totally agree on needed more horses. Although I loved how supportive everyone was of Bobby earning how to ride. 1d
lauraisntwilder @BookmarkTavern Oh, that's right! That's why Bobby had to chase after the pony himself. 1d

Mehso-so

I picked this one up because it is by an Ohio author who decided to use the Buckeye Trail (a trail that travels in a circle around Ohio) as part of her setting. However, this just didn't really work for me. A lot of the characters' actions didn't really make sense, especially towards the end. The motivation of the killer also had me a little confused as well. It was an okay read, but I don't see myself picking up the sequel.

TheAromaofBooks @lauredhel - I've found this year's prompts more challenging!! I still have five left. I'm not very scientific about this challenge. I seem to just go on vibes 😂 2d

This vintage mystery was a great deal of fun, but a bit too repetitive for it to be a 5* read. Still, a pick for being engaging, humorous, and all around good fun.

So obviously perfect for each other!

A short, imaginative graphica memoir about getting and staying married. Rob and John married fairly quietly when it became legal, amidst some ambivalence about accepting heteronormative privilege. But after 10 years married and 20 together, they know, “marriage doesn't define a relationship... unless you want it to.“ My heart, it is mush.

Covers 2013-2022, so be prepared for painful topics.

willaful @KenyaZero #LGBTQIA2025 - chosen for the title. Lovely synchronicity!

RavenclawOwlCat I was going to ask but I think rule 4 covered my question: multiple things can be found on one cover (so we can check all those items off-right?) 1w
TheAromaofBooks @RavenclawOwlCat - Yes!! One book can check off as many prompts as you like!! 1w
RavenclawOwlCat @TheAromaofBooks nice!! That‘s great for someone like me who doesn‘t get through very many books a year! 1w
TheAromaofBooks @RavenclawOwlCat - Yes!! And a lot of people, including myself, actually work on the boards all year round instead of trying to finish one a month. So definitely do whatever makes it the most fun for you!! And if you'd like to be added to the tag list, just let me know!! (edited) 1w

A very good installment in Brunetti mystery series set in Venice, in which the Commissario investigates deaths in a nursing home. The author explores the role of the church and the power it wields.

I enjoyed rereading this book with #HashtagBrigade. The novel is terribly melodramatic but a good read for the spooky season!
