TheAromaofBooks I was honestly laughing, like apparently slimy used car salesmen appeared out of thin air as soon as used cars existed 😂 4h

ElizaMarie I hate this! How true it is to swindle and cheat people. now

Jumping Jenny | Anthony Berkeley

so-so

This really got too ingenious for its own good at times; it overstayed its welcome after about 60%. I can appreciate what Berkeley was doing with the structure of the mystery, expectations, etc, etc, but it got annoying.

Plus, y'know, Berkeley's misogyny isn't a super fun time.

Faranae Berkeley is an author I almost would rather see a writing outline of than the actual prose. 😆 14h

shanaqui @Faranae I confess, at one point I actually tried to google for a summary to decide whether I even wanted to finish it. 14h

This is starting to drive me batty. Roger Sheringham isn't a favourite detective of mine anyway, and watching him get everyone in trouble with fake alibis... argh!

I had started this book for the buddy read for #hauntedshelf but it took me too long. I could go into themes and why this book is so brilliant but mostly, I forgot how many melancholy fits Victor Frankenstein has. The man is the dictionary definition of depressed.

Frankenstein | Mary Shelly

Guillermo del Toro is a true artist, and, since missing Nightmare Alley, it had been too long since I've seen one of his films in theaters. I was so happy to see his latest last night during its limited run. I've yet to read the source material, but his take on Frankenstein is hauntingly emotional and the film just looks amazing. Isaac and Elordi are brilliant. Streaming on Netflix tomorrow!

Centique I saw it at the cinema too! So beautiful on the big screen 😍 Only had to cover my eyes once. The sawing got to me more than the body in the courtroom - that was fine 😂😂 20h

JacqMac I can‘t wait for this to drop on Netflix. I‘ve been excited since he started filming lol 19h

Suet624 Can‘t wait to see Isaac. 18h

Crinoline_Laphroaig I was so glad the Turtle was safe! And then the poor rabbit. That was enough. I stopped reading and will start with tomorrow's chapter. 19h

ElizaMarie @lil1inblue me too!!!! I think I‘d be super bummed if I pushed through this one 16h

lauraisntwilder Don't know what I did to deserve reading about that pig in this chapter and a scene with leeches in it in a different book on the same day. 😳 11h

Bklover 🐇🔥🍽️👎 10h

BarkingMadRead @lauraisntwilder are you reading both of those books with me? 😳 7h

lauraisntwilder @BarkingMadRead No! Definitely wasn't blaming you in any way. I'm reading The Ladies of Missalonghi. Did you read about leeches yesterday, too? My sympathies!
