I‘ve never read a story in this format and wasn‘t sure if I‘d like it but I ended up really enjoying it and ordering the other two books in the series. It‘s definitely dark and is not for everyone. Looking forward to the discussion for #WithTheBanned2025 ! 4.5⭐️

TheBookHippie I‘ve read everything she‘s written. I love it all. It‘s been decades since I‘ve read this one. I read her books as they came out. 🙃 enjoy the next two! 7h
JenlovesJT47 @TheBookHippie I actually really love the idea of writing out a whole story like this in poetry form. Would be very therapeutic. I plan on starting book two tomorrow! 🤗 5h

From another favorite movie of mine, The Birds.

The flapping of wings,

predator now prey.

Grady Hendrix‘s books are always fun & this is no exception. I feel we are kindred spirits in a way & he really gets my obsession with true crime. 😆 This is a fun vampire romp set in the south in the early 90s against the backdrop of a book club who has eschewed the usual stuffy book club picks & embraces trashy true crime from the 80s & 90s. My kind of people! 😆 4⭐️

I‘m a big Agatha Christie fan & this is a fictional account of her 11-day disappearance in 1926. It took awhile to get into but once it got going I was hooked. I definitely need to do some more reading on the real facts of the story. Recommended to anyone who likes historical fiction or is a fan of Dame Agatha. 4⭐️

I had the opposite experience with this Riley Sager book & could not stop listening. A triple murder occurs in 1929 in a mansion on Black Tuesday. The story picks up in the 1980s with a young nurse moving into the mansion to take care of the only survivor of that awful night — who is also the number one suspect. This has a satisfying ending & lots of twists. And an excellent narrator. 4.5⭐️

TorieStorieS I really enjoyed this one, too! But I physically read it— how was the audio performance handled? Multiple performers? (edited) 4w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS the audio was great! Christine Lakin (dunno if you remember TGIF & the show Step By Step 😆) is the narrator for the 80s timeline then there‘s an older woman who does the other narration. Very good! 4w
TorieStorieS I do remember Step by Step but had no idea she performed audiobooks now! How fun! I‘ll have to put this on my wishlist for the next audible sale! 4w
JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS I just finished the new Freida McFadden book The Tenant and Christine Lakin does the female narration on that as well. She‘s very good! If you haven‘t read any Freida books I‘d highly recommend them 🤗 1w
TorieStorieS Adding to my list!! 😊 Thanks!! 1w

I think I would have enjoyed this fun regency book more if I had read it with my eyeballs. I was not a fan of the narrator who was a tad monotone, but there‘s a good story in there. 3.5⭐️

Some friends of the Parentals have dropped off their 2 little hellions for the weekend at Casa Wakefield. They proceed to terrorize the twins with mean pranks until Jess & Liz have had enough & decide to run away. They run all the way away to their fort in the backyard 😆 & eventually, all is right in their world again. So cute. 4⭐️

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS the little 💩💩💩! 😆 Jessica‘s poor koala bear going out of town without her! These are so fun. 4w
TorieStorieS I know!! Bets and pranks were always some of my favorite parts— pretty consistently across the whole canon actually! 4w

Book 4 marks the end of the Edwardian Murder Mysteries. Lady Rose & her friend (her name escapes me at the moment) are funny & do get into some hilarious situations and as always Davina Porter is excellent. 3⭐️

Riley Sager‘s books are hit or miss for me & I haven‘t picked one up in a bit. I finished this a few weeks ago & have already forgotten most of the details 😳. It was okay but nothing special. 3⭐️

This one was extra jarring & felt like a totally different series. Just when I finally had gotten used to the 2nd narrator, this one has a different one. Everything felt off in this one. Sigh. 3⭐️

I‘m giving this a soft pick. While there are differences in the Agatha Raisin series since R.W. Green took over, they are subtle & don‘t bother me much. Not so in the Hamish Macbeth series. In this one & the next one especially it almost feels like a completely different series. I will still keep reading but it‘s not the same. 3.5⭐️

Book 3 in the Edwardian Murder Mysteries is just ok. Very similar to the first two books and nothing stands out, but they are easy listening fluff narrated by the amazing Davina Porter. 3⭐️

I liked book 2 in the Edwardian Murder Mysteries series better than the first. Lady Rose & her “companion” crack me up. These are fluffy cozy mysteries narrated by the amazing Davina Porter who does a great job with the various accents. Can‘t go wrong with M.C. Beaton! 4⭐️

Read this fun Irish romance for #LittensLoveRomance and #foodandlit this month. While this is nothing earth-shattering, it‘s cute and cozy and perfect for when you‘re in the mood for a bit of escapism. 3.5⭐️

Finally finished this up today for the #SundayBuddyRead - I overall did enjoy the story & it was interesting reading all the real historical aspects of the story. But I didn‘t love it. The main character was not incredibly likable, & I also wasn‘t a fan of the dual timeline here (I don‘t mind when done correctly). I will say, however, that I thoroughly enjoyed the last few chapters. 3.5⭐️ Thanks for hosting @TheBookHippie

Mrs. W. rear-ends an old lady, Mrs. Harrington, then Jess & Liz befriend her & help out around her house. Jess is particularly taken with her, especially once she discovers Mrs. H. is really a famous retired movie star, Dolores Dufay. She pays for Jess to take acting classes & helps her with a school play. I actually really enjoyed this because I love it when Jess acts like a decent person & does the right thing. So refreshing! 😆4⭐️

I‘m on hold for the next Hamish book so I decided to dive into another cozy mystery series by M.C. Beaton, this time set in the Edwardian era. It had its funny moments & the narrator did a great job with all the voices, but it didn‘t capture my full attention. It‘s not bad, just not my favorite. 3⭐️
