October last book read. I liked this better that the other one even when it was not a directly sequel. It is funny, cute, sexy with a pinch of mystery and action at the end. It is very short. 3⭐️

Another book with mixed reviews. I think the concept was interesting, dark and weird. A town that believe in female saints but at the same time were mysogynist, extreme and violent in their punishment against women until one of them will discover her magic, that their others like her and all of them will revealed secrets that they are not alone. “Saints” or witches? I think there will be a sequel. Not a great story but kept my attention 3/3.4⭐️

I did manage one bingo in October. I guess that is better than nothing.

I read this novel long time ago. I forgot how terrible Mr Heathcliff was and how dysfunctional, violent, co-dependent these relations were. But thinking about the author, how brave she was to write in a novel about these topics was incredible and she was young. I think I need to re-read it in the future after maybe read more about the author. I will need, of course, another beautiful edition. I read the Thomas Nelson edition. 4⭐️

I know this one has mix reviews/ratings but it worked wonderful for me. I loved the relationship between Ben and her grandfather and later with her grandmother and how they accepted and respected Ben. That ending was so sad but at the same time understandable due to Ben circumstances. I enjoyed it so much. I also like this author‘s writing style and retellings. I haven‘t read other genres by her but soon. 3.8/4. Thank you @mabell

Bk15 of #Scarathlon & Bk1 of #20in4 #readathon was finished by audiobook yesterday, but it‘s been a madhouse here this weekend! My annual reread of Dame Agatha‘s classic, it‘s one of my fave novels of hers. Highly recommend. #WordSearch #BodyCountBingo #LittenListenBingo #31x31 #Spookaween #Pointsathon #WickedWords #AutumnBingo #JustALittleSpookish #StabbyBingo #NoShameReadathon #BooktrovertBingo #BookspinBingo 👇 #TeamSlaughter 2,461pts

This audiobook short story is not in the Litsy database yet. Only OK for me-a good quick listen (about 45 min) but not spooky enough. The MC, Sally, is volunteering in the Death House in a living Victorian history museum when she falls asleep in the hearse & travels through time where she meets ghost Nathaniel & determines if she wants to be with him forever instead of her husband. (I found her annoying.)

I liked very much this historical fiction novel about the 11th-century Queen Gruadh of Scotland, who inspired Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth. The queen's life is supposedly quite different from that in Shakespeare's story and King portrays her as an admirable character.
