I absolutely loved this book. Then , find out it's the first book of the series. It was well written, funny, sizzling, mysterious, and the characters grew. I will definitely keep reading this series.

Second book in the Illumbe trilogy. Story is with different characters but same place. For the trilogy doesn‘t have to read in order but it will make more sense since some characters from first book are mentioned in this story. A singer‘s friend died in a suspicious circumstances and he is receiving notes from an eccentric fan. He and some friends from his former band will try to investigate what really happened to this friend. (Cont) ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) Some parts are predictable and the person who was behind this death and how everything was committed made the story too unrealistic. But it in general it was entertaining. 3/3.5⭐️

June 2024 Book #9

Though it took a while to acclimatise to Mantel's style, once I got into it, I liked the careful plotting and the interweaving of themes throughout the book.

This #chunkstermini took me all month to read, but it was worth it. Fatland visited such interesting places, and her description of Everest base camp is one of the best I‘ve ever read. I just wish she had tied her journey together or made some conclusions at the end because after a while it kind of seemed like Himalayan resident speed dating. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Crazeedi Sounds like an interesting book! 9mo

This #chunkstermini has been hanging out on my shelves since it came out in the mid 1980s. It shows its age a bit, and by the last section the twists became ridiculous. But it was a fun soap opera of a book and I‘m glad I read it. My favorite character was the Duchess, and this is my image of her, except the facial expression isn‘t quite right. #bookspin for January and 1st #24in2024. @TheAromaofBooks @Jas16 @Amiable

Jas16 Glad it ended up being worth the wait! 9mo
TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 9mo
Amiable I love that you've checked it off your list after all these years! Good job! 9mo

EMPIRE OF THE VAMPIRE. | JAY. KRISTOFF

It is a big book but I didn‘t feel it. It was a page turner for me. I liked the story, the characters, the plot and the twists. It also has beautiful illustrations. Ready for book 2 it is supposed to be an adult high fantasy but in some areas it has some YA elements?🤔 Maybe. But I enjoyed this one. I have two editions because I didn‘t want to destroy the special edition with my annotations. Not a book holder but a book collector
📚😌 4/4.3⭐️

TheSpineView Love the cover! 12mo
Chrissyreadit that is a beautiful book! it‘s one i hope to read too. 12mo

The Book of Cold Cases | Simone St. James
post image

I read some fun books last week!! I really enjoyed all of these. Up to No Gouda was my least favorite of the batch - it was okay, but maybe it is just my suspicious mind talking - I had trouble discerning who was supposed to be “ominous“ and who was supposed to be a good guy 😂 She would say things like, “I met his gaze and felt a little uncomfortable. He had been coming in for lunch every day“ except then it turns out she's uncomfortable ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) because she thinks he's cute and nice and actually has a crush on him 😆 I don't usually read ghost/paranormal stories, but I really enjoyed The Book of Cold Cases which was paranormal without being horror. The Dead Romantics was also ghosty, and while I loved the romance, it was honestly just such a lovely book about grief and moving forward. Of course Roberts pretty much always delivers - The Collector wasn't a new favorite, but it was⬇ 12mo

After a false start at the beginning of the month I picked it up, started over and became enthralled. Part 7 dragged for me a bit but otherwise it‘s captivating. #ChunksterMini @Amiable #Booked23 #Featuring3Generations @BarbaraTheBibliophage @alisiakae @Cinfhen #SummerEndReadathon @TheSpineView #BuddyRead @Cuilin 4.5🌟
