pick2 young white men burst into the home of a Muslim family looking for Bob.There is no Bob,only Omar & Billal,so they kidnap the elderly father&demand to be paid 2 million pounds in exchange for Aamir.The family insist they don‘t have that kind of money as Aamir only owns a corner store or do they?I most enjoyed the character Aamir,born in Uganda,& his backstory. I also enjoyed the writing but the case was far fetched&the love story ridiculous.
pickIt was unintentional that I read this one right after Demon Copperhead. I feel so fortunate that my only real trauma from growing up was navigating my sexuality. Economic hardship and parental dysfunction are so much worse.
The bingo gods were not with me for this month‘s #bookspinbingo! I did get bingo, but look at all those almost ones!!
That‘s what I get for reading my feelings more than ever in February. At least I finished by #bookspin book
so-soNot sure what I think of this one. I wasn't expecting the dark turn that it took. It's also much too long.
It's been on my TBR for over a decade so I'm glad I finally check it off.

March saw me finishing the very good Laidlaw trilogy. Laidlaw is a curious detective who makes few friends within the Glasgow police force where he works. I am curious to read the Ian Rankin book in which he reimagines Laidlaws early days.
Mogwai are better than your favourite band-glad I found this over the weekend.
