Snuck this cozy in to fill my last #OUABC 40-Book Challenge prompt “Mass Market Paperback” as I picked it up for 50 cents at the library book store. First in the Ashton Corners Book Club Mysteries, I liked it fine, so it gets a soft pick. The usual small Southern town with too many characters to keep good track of, book club made of multiple generations & a hot sheriff love interest. I might read another or I might not.
so-soSo-So bc the tone felt confused. The majority felt causticly sarcastic a la Willy Wonka or Scooby Doo, but the stakes are serious…basically this book felt unsure if it was horror or a dark comedy. 🤷🏻♀️
A group of writers are invited to the manor of a legendary peer after his death to hear his will. A deadly escape room ensues. #OUABC #OnceUponABooKClub
“The body‘s been stripped of skin, muscle, hair — but its skull still sits cockeyed on a broken, mangled neck, its mouth ajar like its screaming.”
Second gift was this too pretty to burn candle!!! *My* mouth is ajar. This is gorgeous.

Got to open my first two of four gifts in my #OUABC box today!
Points for creative packaging for the first gift: a coral liquid lipstick akin to a shade one of the character‘s wears - but in knife packaging?!? Too cool.
“Stained with the shade Coral Number Two, Winnie‘s lips are the most dangerous weapon of retribution.”

Finished yesterday for #Roll100 (#90 Any Backlist) & as a prompt for my #OUABC 2025 40 Book Challenge (Any Hugo Award Winner). I loved this one! T. Kingfisher writes fun characters & found family with a sly dark humor. All the characters in Marta‘s ragtag group were endearing & I enjoyed this fantasy paranormal fairytale. Looking forward to working my way through the rest of the author‘s backlist. Pretty sure it will be a 2025 fave.🖤
