pickI care not a whit about wrestling, so I could have skipped that aspect of this book, and I also had the murderer figured out very early in the game, but still, this was very entertaining. This first book in the series hooked me, mostly through the protagonist who navigates both his demons and the quirky characters of his small town with a certain amount of earthy skepticism and hard-won good-naturedness. #firstpost
pick3.75 stars This gives us a better look at the Knoxes and the Bardos, the latter familiar from the previous book. The book opens with the grisliest murder yet in the series, and we soon learn that relativism looms large as we see a whole lot of "wrong place, wrong time" and "in over his head" sorts of explanations for bad behavior. There is a definite red herring, but it turns out to be a bit more interesting than usual.

pickSince it doesn't yet have a post:
These men confront not each other, but the issues of apocalyptic perspective, abortion, women in the Church, violence and much more. They recognize these issues not as polemics to be tossed back and forth for endless bantering, but as fundamental to outlining a definition of “humanity.“ Both men are scholars and people of faith, aware of the cultural and social millieu around them. Also, short! #firstpost
Read the first two, still two to read!
Loving the dry humor, lots of action in such a short book. #murderbotdiaries#marthawells#scifi#quickreads#firstpost
Hello, Litsy! I‘m still digging into the app and figuring this all out but thought I‘d drop my first post and officially say hi. I‘m super glad to have found a low key place to (virtually) hang with other bookish folks. Can‘t wait to really get into the thick of it with you all. 💖

pickFirst book of the year and I am already wondering if it ruined my capability of enjoying another one? I loved it so much and I am in total post reading coma after finishing it. I honestly didn‘t expect anything out of it and I was surprised how much I liked it. Kya‘s story is one of those that you want to tell everyone about and on the other hand you don‘t want to tell anyone because you want to keep her to yourself. #firstpost #firstbookoftheyear
Hello , I‘m Jo and new to the app. I just started to read this yesterday, I‘m currently on chapter 4, and it‘s already starting off with some interesting stuff... can‘t wait to read what happens next! #firstpost #newbie #thrilled

I feel like for a first ever post LOTR is the best way to go. I love the movies, enjoyed reading The Hobbit and now I‘m working through The Fellowship of the Ring. It‘s a little bit tough because I‘m not a Frodo fan 🤦🏻♀️ but I‘m willing to try to understand his character out of my huge respect for Tolkien 💖 #LOTR#Tolkien#fantasy#firstpost
