#ROSEANNA

#BackToReading ? #BooksAndBooze ?#TheBreakdown & #Roseanna | a young woman is found dead in the Göta Canal, molested and murdered. The case is almost instantly cold: nobody can identify her and where and by whom she was killed. Then a stroke of luck: through Interpol her identity is ascertained; she is Roseanna McGraw, an American tourist who was taking a boat trip in southern Sweden. A meticulous investigation ensues to find out #whodunit ?

Bookjuggling these two this weekend because impending due dates 😅 #WEEKENDGIVEAWAY thanks, @Liberty! And, yes, I have a US residence 😀 though if you ever have a Japan-specific giveaway, I'm so there! 🎌

Jess7 I'm doing the same thing with #TheBreakdown (currently overdue by a day to the library) and #Roseanna (need to mail out for my WhoDunItByMail exchange by Tuesday next week). 7y
alanacristin @Jess7 oh? What is this Whodunitbymail? Also audiobooks are fabulous but frustrating on a deadline. They're harder to sneak it. Enjoy the juggling! 7y
Jess7 I tagged you on the WhoDunItByMail book list - that's the hashtag if you want to find more posts about it. @Tiffy_Reads organized it 7y
alanacristin @Jess7 thanks! I'll check it out 🔎 7y

Here is my short list of books to be read in #August 📚The only books I own from this list are: #EveryLastLie and #AllTheUglyAndWonderfulThings (#BookClubPick). I also plan to read #TheHandmaidsTale (not featured above) for my other bookclub (#AlphaGammaDelaAlumBookClub). I'm excited both bookclubs chose books I own!

Jess7 @MinDea I hope to if I have I time. I'll have to request that one from the library. I definitely want to read it and find out what everyone thinks. 7y
Jess7 Definitely @Tiffy_Reads - everyone on litsy has provided such positive feedback one. The only thing negative I've heard thus far came from the host of my book club IRL last night. But I think she didn't like it bc it was YA and besides she and I do not always agree on book choices anyway! 😜 7y
Jess7 In addition to those books and The #Handmaid's Tale and #BeforeIFall, I also plan to read #IQ (for my my #Whodunitbymail group) and finish #Roseanna . I may need to make another post to include everything. So much to read (edited) 7y
mellisarock All the Ugly and Wonderful Things devastated me. 7y
JoeStalksBeck 👏👏👏👏👏‼️❤️ 7y
Jess7 @mellisarock the host of my book club IRL said All The Ugly and Wonderful Things was her favorite book she has read this year. I own it and plan to read it before our next meeting in mid September. 7y
Lmstraubie So many great books to choose from! 7y
Jess7 Thanks @Lmstraubie - have you read any of these? Which ones did you like the most? 7y
Lmstraubie I've only read The Hate You Give and I loved it! 7y
pri_bibliophile Amazing list!! Hope you enjoy reading all your books!! 7y
Jess7 Update: finished The Breakdown today (8/7/17). I rate it a 4.5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟- very suspenseful, easy read. It kept me guessing till the end. I partially guessed the ending about mid-way through but I didn't guess all of it. Highly recommend. (edited) 7y

📭Received my second #WhoDunItByMail book yesterday from @EllieDottie 🤗 This book was chosen by @Karen and I am looking forward to starting it as soon as I finish my first book #Roseanna

The LAPD is barely keeping up with the neighborhood's high crime rate. Murders go unsolved, lost children unrecovered. But someone from the neighborhood has taken it upon himself to help solve the cases the police can't or won't touch. They call him #IQ 🕵🏽

minkyb Curious to hear your thoughts when you finish. 7y
Jess7 Will do @minkyb - it will probably be close to September bc the next person on the list isn't expecting to receive it until September 10. 😜 #balancingmycurrentlyreadingschedule 7y
minkyb No worries here. It will take me even longer to even think about reading this. I just like to hear from people whose reviews I trust @Jess7 7y

Jess7 Aww thank you @minkyb 🤗🤗🤗#litsylove 7y
EllieDottie I'm glad it got there!! Also I wrote a spoiler review and a non-spoiler review in the notebook so be careful about which one you read 😁 7y
Jess7 Thanks @EllieDottie I glanced at it but saw the word spoiler so I didn't read that part. I will look at the non-spoiler part of the note when I start reading it. Thanks!! You're the best! 7y

I received my first #WhoDunItByMail package today from @EllieDottie and I absolutely love everything about it! I'm very new to sending/receiving #bookmail and this package was so sweet! Not only did she send her WhoDunIt pick #Roseanna and the cute fox journal to pass along, she included thoughtful goodies for me to keep (a cute button and #MagpieMurders from my #TBR list). Thanks so much @EllieDottie 🤗 I'll be starting #Roseanna this week! 😁

britt_brooke Nice! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @EllieDottie 7y
AmyG I am reading Magpie Murders now. Totally enjoying it. 7y
Jess7 @AmyG I'm excited to read it, but seeing the thickness of it in person and knowing I need to finish my WhoDunItByMail book #Roseanna to pass it on (not to mention library books I need to finish 😳) I doubt I'll start it this month - but I'm very happy to know it's a good read! (edited) 7y

janeycanuck Beautiful cover on Magpie Murders! 7y
EllieDottie I'm so glad you got it and liked everything!! I'm excited to see what you think about Roseanna!! 7y
Jess7 @EllieDottie I started it yesterday at the pool. I made it through the first few chapters. It was written in 1965 and set in Sweden so there are a few hurdles for me to jump through at first just to understand how the police force is set up in terms of who is doing what in the investigation and trying to remember all the Swedish names. I'm going to try to pick up again later this week after work when I can google things to follow along 😜 7y
