The Ghost of Marlow House | Bobbi Holmes, Anna J McIntyre

pan

18/22 I have FINALLY finished this book. It took a very long time. Not because it was long, but because the terrible writing style made it feel 20 times longer than it is. Repetitive to the extreme, ridiculous descriptions of totally unnecessary things , all filler AND every character spoke in what I can only imagine is the authors voice with the authors vocab. Just bad. But it did tick off #setinaninn for #booked2022 #roadtripUSA2022 #Oregan 1⭐️

Cinfhen Sorry the book was so disappointing 😖at least you knocked a prompt off 🥰 2y

BarbaraTheBibliophage Ooof. Books that are extra hard. Kudos for not DNFing … even though I would‘ve been tempted. 2y

Magpiegem @BarbaraTheBibliophage I kinda wanted to know what happened at the end, and then got there and thought “what utter nonsense”! 2y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Magpiegem I‘ve been there! 2y

A Great Reckoning: A Novel | Louise Penny

pick

It was fun to get back to Louise Penny‘s Armand Garmache series for my January #Bookspin: this one was complex and intense, although I was proud to see two of the clues before the detectives did! Interesting insights into Canadian police training, among other things.

Subdivision: A Novel | J. Robert Lennon

pick

Wow, this book totally sucked me in. It reminded me of old school adventure computer games, each chapter learning a bit more about what the story is about. I loved the dreamlike style, the lingering sadness throughout the whole book and the way it came together in the end even though I‘m not sure how it ends.
Books like this are why I love the Tournament of Books.

Megabooks Wow! I am truly surprised that you enjoyed this so much, but totally pleased you did!! Great review! 2y

thebluestocking I‘m glad you liked this too! 💙 I really wanted a bit more resolution at the end, more of the puzzle pieces coming together. 2y

BarbaraBB @Megabooks I was surprised too. Just the right book at the right time I think. I spent some lovely hours escaping into that dreamlike world! 2y

BarbaraBB @thebluestocking I know, I‘m not even sure if she died or not? But I enjoyed the flow and all the clues and what to make of them. How it (almost 😉) all came together in the end. 2y

Flaneurette I really liked this one too. Great review! 2y

JennyM Fab review and pic! 2y

vivastory I have this checked out from the library. Might have to read it soon! 2y
