so-so6th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction-long list
😬Sorry this one didn‘t work for me. I‘m not a fan of novels about sport even though the story has other topics. I wasn‘t interested in the story and I couldn‘t believe so decision made. 2.5/3⭐️
pick(The Liar) First book in a trilogy. It‘s more like a suspense story. This man, Alex, sees an unknown man next to him..but is that man dead? Then he sees a stone in his own hand.., with blood...did he kill that man?...but he is not sure about anything because he wake up in a hospital and he doesn‘t remember anything. Fragments of memories come and go. And then, the story goes to discover what really happened, who is Alex⬇️
so-so4th book read from the Women‘s Prize for fiction long list. Mixed feelings with this one. It was beautifully written but I didn‘t find a well integration in the story, specially the first parts. In some parts I just lost interest because I felt author was jumping from one topic to another🤷🏽♀️Let‘s see if it included in the short list. It didn‘t work for me as I expected 3⭐️
pickI read this book as part of #GabyReadsBookTroop (YouTuber) and I concur with their analysis that this is more like a HF because it is based/inspired in a true case but novel is from the victims POV😢It was interesting but sometimes I don‘t know what the author wanted to emphasize, the victims?, the main character? the legal process? In my opinion I don‘t see that integration so well but this is an unpopular opinion.⬇️
pickAnother series I'm rereading this year - absolutely LOVED the Swallows & Amazons books when I first read them, so I'm going through them again. This is the second book in the series, full of exploring, pirates, shipwrecks, mountain climbing, caves, and more! Every page was a delight.
pickI've been wanting to reread this series for quite some time, so I was pleased when the first book was chosen as this month's read for the #BakerStreetIrregulars, giving me an excuse to kick off the series reread!! This book was just as funny and entertaining as I remember, with just delightful characters and a romp of a mystery. I remember reading that Peters wasn't intending this to be a series originally, so this one ends with a HEA epilogue ⬇
pickThis was a cute RomCom with sexy scenes. The 1st of the series with twists that are supposed to be answered in the books following. I found a bingo spot and a line in the January #ISpyBingo and 2 spots in the March Bingo. Yep I'm still working on January February and March. @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks #SeriesLove24 #ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

pickA colonel and his wife ask Phryne to check on their daughter, who they worry is being poisoned by her husband. Phryne travels to Australia and finds herself investigating not only the situation with the colonel's daughter, but other crimes as well, including a drug ring involving a Russian ballet family.
pickI always enjoy the Sloan Krause mysteries, and even this short novella didn't disappoint! Sloan and Garrett are looking forward to the spring farmer's market and working on some collaborations with local businesses, a couple of infuencers, and the beer they brew at Nitro. When a visiting hiker dies at the local hostel, though, Sloan and Garrett help Chief Meyers figure out what happened.
