A Simple Murder: A Kate Burkholder Short Story Collection | Linda Castillo

pick

Today I seem to have had the attention span of a fly, so I read this group of short mysteries in the Kate Burkholder series. The stories were great- complete little mysteries. The audiobook- not so much. When the reader portrays any of the Amish young women they all have this voice that makes them sound about four years old. I love this series, although there are a LOT of murders in this very small town. 😊

What Really Happened in Peru | Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan

My first read of 2025! I've been using both StoryGraph and Goodreads for last couple of years. SG just seems to be getting better. They keep adding things I love like this Reading Calendar. Also like that if a book is missing you can add it yourself. Plus you can make your own challenges.

GRs still hasn't updated my last Review of 2024 Challenge. Keeping for years of Reviews, Stats, & friends.

Who else is on StoryGraph? Link to me ⬇️

wordslinger42 I am! My handle is the same as here. I didn‘t use it last year, but I‘m getting back into it for 2025! It‘s so much nicer than Goodreads! 4w

rockpools Thank you for this! I‘m trying again with SG (and Litsy. And reading come to that) this year, and hadn‘t discovered the calendar or graphics. Just found them. So cool! 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig I've also got a Challenge for those doing #JaneAustenThenAndNow https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/36339422-b813-402f-864d-315ce51...

Crinoline_Laphroaig @rockpools I followed you! I love the fresh start of January. 4w

eeclayton I use GR and SG simultaneously, too. I like GR for the written reviews, while SG is much better for keeping track of challenges, in my opinion.
I followed you, my handle is the same as on here. 4w

Larkken This is very cool! I‘ve been trying to do this for myself in a book journal but I‘m all for something doing it for me. 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig @Larkken I really like SG book journal. @eeclayton also like if I'm doing a seasonal read along, I can put in a future date to remind me to start up. And now you can pause a book as well. Which is also nice when reading seasonally. 4w

kspenmoll I just started using it- still trying to get the knack of the app! Kspenmoll- find me! 4w

Crinoline_Laphroaig @kspenmoll looks like you found me! 4w

Four Past Midnight | Stephen King

I have been falling behind on my King reads (I get easily distracted by all the shiny new books) but I figured now was the perfect time to dive back in.

Different Seasons | Stephen King

so-so

The high point was definitely “Shawshank” and “Apt Pupil” was infinitely more unsettling than the movie. So I give it 3.5 ⭐️ out of 5.

Texreader Apt Pupil took me down. It was so so disturbing. I still remember it reading it in high school 30 something years ago!! 1mo

Awk_Word_Smith @Texreader I feel like in a lot of Stephen King‘s horror books. The horror is conceptual in nature. In “Pet Sematary”, it was beloved pets coming back from the dead. In “Christine”, it was a possessed Cadillac. But in “Apt Pupil”, we know the horror was real, and that the human brain can actually go to these places in real life and not just on the pages of a fictional book 3w

Texreader @Awk_Word_Smith I think you are absolutely correct. That‘s so creepy. 3w

I Cannot Get You Close Enough | Ellen Gilchrist

I have my doubts that I'm going to read anything in December that I'll like as much as I did Marmee. And though I loved Marmee, I think I may be looking at the final choice being between I Cannot Get You Close Enough and The Road to Dalton. I'm not sure I'll be able to choose.
