Themes: Book 2 in a series, Mystery, Funny but dark

Book 1 of 2026 is in the books (hehe 🤪) and it was AMAZING! I loved this second book in the ‘Peculiar Crimes Unit‘ series, maybe even a bit more than the first one which is always fun ☺️ I bought Book 3 and will definitely read it sooner rather than later.

First book of the year was a rare re read. I very seldom reread as there‘s just sooo many good books on my lists. But I love Sarah waters - one of my favourite authors of all time and 2026 maybe the year I revisit all of her books 🙏

BiblioLitten I was thinking about Sarah Waters last night! I goggled looking for any updates and realized that I hadn‘t read The Paying Guests yet and added it to TBR2026. Such a brilliant writer! 3d
BiblioLitten I also like The Night Watch more than The Fingersmith. 3d
Ruthiella Oh why doesn‘t she publish another? It‘s been 10 years since 3d

#FridayHappyReadingHour arrived! Drinking wine that my Mom got me (it‘s called ‘Readers‘ 👓) in the glass she gifted me. I‘m snacking on crab rangoon from our Chinese takeout dinner cuz 1. We needed spicy food and 2. I had zero desire to cook 😆

If the first of the month falls on a day where I am not working or am going in late, I treat myself to breakfast. I‘m letting myself read over coffee this morning!

I needed something lighter to alternate with Baldwin‘s Go Tell it on the Mountain and A Separate Peace by John Knowles—and this fit the bill. A lighthearted, delightful dessert of a book… I might have to treat myself to Volume 2 tonight as a unicorn chaser after finishing A Separate Peace.

monalyisha Obsessed with this series! I expect you‘ll love Hawkes as much as I do. 6d
BarbaraJean @monalyisha I'm pretty sure your reviews are what put these on my radar! 5d

My five-star reads in June were rereads, so I picked one of my four-star reads instead. The competition was definitely the Solo Leveling manhwa, but... a good mystery series deserves a spotlight. I really liked the setting, and ended up surprisingly keen on the main character, who seems at the start like he'd be stuffy.

TheEllieMo I enjoyed this one too; I like how gentle the MC‘s character is 6d
shanaqui @TheEllieMo Yes, exactly! He turned out so sweet, in a way I wasn't expecting. I can't wait for more books to be out in the series, I loved A Case of Life and Limb too. 6d

Like so many others, I‘m continuing to enjoy this series. Where volume 3 was plot driven, this one was more focused on advancing character development. There is plot, but not a single cohesive narrative as in the previous book. I like that variety—it keeps the series interesting.
