This will be my last book of 2019 and completes the prompt #newin2019 for #booked2019 @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage (separate post coming up shortly summarising what I've read for the Fall prompts).

Crazy Rich Asians will probably be my first read of 2020.

4 🌟 for the book, I like the MCs but felt the ending was a bit 'where did that come from'? Will be reading more by the author though.

This will probably (no, certainly!) be my shortest book review ever. I love, love, love this book. If you read the others in Kate Atkinson‘s Jackson Brodie series, you‘ve either already finished this, or it‘s high on your TBR. You must read this book! It flows beautifully, the writing is acute, and the characters—all of them—are multi-layered. One caveat: One should read these in order, because each successive ⬇️

I really liked this cute book with Becky Brandon, née Bloomwood, and her Christmas-y antics! A fun holiday read!

Also, this was my last book for #booked2019! #newin2019

Read by the delicious Richard Armitage, this is a horror-tinged psychological suspense novel that has some fantastically creepy moments.

I was really excited to read this book because it got so many good reviews. It started out with a strong ore use and I thought it was going to be really interesting and then it just fizzled out for me. Too many characters and a bit slow. It also just took to long for everything to come together with the varying plot lines for me. #booked2019 #newin2019

Reading this is like sitting next to Maurice in the bar, having a glass of malt with him, listening him tell the stories of five people over one evening. These are people who mattered to him most. Maurice felt incredibly real, and through his monologues, he reveals his life, love, regret, and shame. So much emotions and warmth, I chuckled, and cried with Maurice. ❤️it. Look forward to read the author‘s next book.

“I‘m here to remember – all that I have been and all that I will never be again.”

84-year old Maurice sits alone in a bar of a local hotel one evening, and made five toasts to the five most important people in his life. Each chapter tells the stories of these people. The first story already hit me hard! 😭
