Got in a few more hours today for #20in4 #Readathon Still taking my reading slower than usual, especially considering a large concrete based snow globe fell onto the crown of my head Xmas night. Didn‘t help the brain issues much! Hopefully I‘ll finish this tomorrow 🤞 #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew #YearEnd
Well, it‘s 8.30am here in Sydney so I think I‘m calling an end to Day 1 of my #20in4 #YearEnd #readathon for now! I‘m about 50-60% through this book & I‘d forgotten how gory she can write deaths, but she‘s also exceptional at writing place too. It feels like wintry London is another character. But I‘m signing off for now, see you in a few hours!🥱 #OutWithTheOldInWithTheNew
I hope everyone had a Merry Xmas ♥️💚As you can tell, I‘m back from my SM break & while I‘m still not 100% I am doing better. Plus I missed you all! I‘ll be launching my #JumpStart2025 challenge so all of us can start the year right coz I just did a home library organisation where my daughter & I found I had 3,000 books on my #MountTBRShelvesOfDoom😱 I am now banned from buying books till that‘s smaller🫣Any suggestions on other 2025 challenges?
I‘m not quite sure why the title but it‘s about the death of one of 3 adopted children who was a supermodel and her brother‘s convinced she was murdered so he asks Cormoran Strike, a childhood friend of his brother, to investigate. I‘m 3 chapters from the end and I have a suspect in mind … but we‘ll see if I‘m right.
It‘s not overused and is in context - I suppose - but I wish there was less swearing by the characters.
It‘s starting off kinda slow, but I know it will pick you up and I am so here for it! #currentlyreading #booksandlunch #cormoranstrike #detective 😊📚
My October stats. The holidays are coming which means Christmas reads so I'm expecting vastly different numbers in a month lol.
My average time to finish is skewed because it took me so long to finish the newest Robert Galbraith novel, a #chunkster at over 900 pages. #chunksterchallenge2024
My #roll100 for November with @PuddleJumper laughing so hard that two books from the same series got picked, even with the numbers being so far apart!
pickThis is my favorite book of the series thus far. The author must have done a deep dive on how cults operate because it really felt accurate. Reminded me of so many cult stories I‘ve heard but was even more intriguing with having Robin inside, investigating the cult. Well done!

The latest in the Cormoran Strike series. Still working my way through this behemoth and it came out last fall.

pickI like how even minor characters are given their chance to shine in these crime novels. The dialogue always provides character development and it‘s fun to see Strike grapple with his own morals and ethics. Book 3 will be on the horizon for me.
