Wanted to be productive. Got the hoover out. Hoovered up the only working lighter in the house. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Honestly, I need to stop doing chores and sit down and read.

Review from a week ago. Forgot to post here.

Book has been re-issued.

Not a typical Klune book, but somehow still a typical Klune book. I enjoyed the story, yet it took me a while to get into the story.

Chemistry and banter are off the charts.

I was laughing so loud my teenager told me to go TF to sleep twice, she heard me from the other end of the house.

Book not in database (yet)

'Jane' fell off her horse, lost her memories and was taken in by Jasper and his sisters. They care wonderfully for her and try to help her get her memories back. Of course there are feelings between 'Jane' and Jasper. Alas, it's complicated.

Liked the writing and characters and hope this'll be a series. There are a lot of family members who need a HEA.

I deserve a medal, I read a book of epic fantasy. And I'm looking forward to the sequel.

Honestly enjoyed this multiple-POV book. Flawed characters: a young mage who can't wield magic and her mentor a disaster mage,... . A city in the desert, but it's under a huge glass dome. And there be dragons.

julesG @LeeRHarry me too. Currently enjoying a few muscle cramps where the loosened muscles start to tighten up again. I swear, my body is working on creating a shell. I must be part Galapagos turtle after all. Let's hope I also got the genes for longevity. 😉 1mo

#MountARC #NetGalley #ARC - from years ago 🫣

It's 1929 in Britain. Skelton is a nerdy barrister, who's originally from Yorkshire. He takes on the case of MaryDutton, who is accused of poisoning her abusive husband.

It's a slow and meandering story, funny at times. Perfect for fans of the Golden Era murder mystery books.

First in a series.

Working on #MountARC

Pub Day was 31 December

Didn't like the writing style, too much telling, too little showing. Didn't like the characters either and their insta-lust/love romance didn't work for me.
Not sure why this book is labeled 'erotica', it's pretty tame compared to some other open door contemporary romances I've read.

#NetGalley #ARC #MountARC Pub Day: 14 January

A mysterious tower appears in the sky above England. Since neither the military nor any other form of investigation with drones, helicopters, cameras etc reveals anything about the tower, the British do what they do best: Carry on. Then a "countdown" appears on the outside of the tower, as well as the word 'Ascend' and thirteen people from all works of life are beamed onto the base of the tower. ⬇️

julesG It's pretty obvious what is about to happen now, the thirteen have to enter the "dungeon" and work their way up.

The story has good pacing, the action is good too, yet throughout the book I was expecting a different twist on what I had read and seen before. Sadly plot and characters were rather basic, stereotypical even. To me it was a mix of "Arrival", "Saw", "Cube", "Resident Evil",...

TrishB That‘s a pity because your summary started off good! 1mo
julesG @TrishB That's more or less how I felt reading the book: it started off well... Off to read something else. 😉 1mo
quietlycuriouskate Think I'll stick to Dante, then. 😉 1mo
julesG @quietlycuriouskate 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ didn't draw that comparison. 1mo
