“I am learning that it is important to stop sometimes, and just have a drink and a gossip with friends, even as corpses start to pile up around you. Which they have been doing a lot recently.
It's a balancing act, of course, but, by and large, the corpses will still be there in the morning, and you mustn't let it spoil your Domino's.“
pickCharacters were super relatable! These couples were something else 😄
This book was really fun and entertaining, cozy but there were some darker themes too.
Some things were a bit predictable but that wasn't a big deal - things went fast forward and things I had seen coming were quickly revealed. I am trying to say that predictable things weren't “big surprises“ that were revealed at the end but some minor ones.
I sent some #LitsyLove

so-soWill with his deep philosophical thoughts was sometimes a bit much 😄 Sophie was a fun character, but I am not sure if any of the characters stole my heart.
A dystopian story that wasn't dark but more optimistic.
Even though I would have loved to have more action I still enjoyed this one as well.
The ending felt quite rushed. There were some pretty unrealistic things happening as well. I still liked the very ending, it was quite satisfying.
so-soI wasn't fan of writing and maybe that left characters a bit distant.
I would have preferred a stronger plot.
This was okay but I didn't love this.
I have always loved Scotland (no wonder I ended up having a Scottish herding dog) so it isn't a big surprise that I love the setting in this book ❤️ And can you believe: there is a Finnish character as well 🤣🤣
Coffee & starting a new book by an almost local author. Continuing the series because I love to read about historical life in the same area where I am living.
I wish you all have an awesome day ❤️
so-soI still liked the Millie, even though I wasn't super thrilled that this book took place 10 years later to the second book.
I was quite disappointed with this book: this wasn't as thrilling as the previous book. Almost nothing happened, chapter after chapter about Millie's life as a mom. The last part was intriguing but this could have been so much shorter without loosing anything important.
so-soI read a Finnish book that was interesting and showed how was life after WW2.
But the writing was too detailed for my liking and the plot was non-existent.
Nevertheless I liked characters but was disappointed how the most intriguing question was never answered.

I am struggling at the moment. I think this Garfield cartoon fits my mood pretty well.
It's almost exactly 6 months from Hugo's death today. It has surprised me how hard this is. He was my best friend, and so big part of my daily life. He was a part of me and being a dog owner was a part of my identity.

I have got this letter some time ago from @ju.ca.no
I got a good chance to post this so I can tell at the same time how I also sent some #LitsyLove today :D Be on the lookout @Sleepswithbooks
so-soCharacters were likable but the pacing was off. This was slow but the ending was suddenly super fast and felt rushed. This was okay but didn't feel special.
I got today some #LitsyLove (part 3, still two first parts on their way xD). I also got a Valentine's card earlier ❤️
❤️ @Blerdgal_Fenix
I got some lovely #LitsyLove 🥰 @iread2much
pickCharacters were so well created and I loved to follow their adventures. Some didn't survive and that made me to cry. I love it so much when a book makes me feel. There was also a nice a sliver of romance.
I loved all the scheming and especially morally grey characters that made me unsure about who to trust. I couldn't guess what was going to happen next and that was awesome.

pickI loved to get to know more about V's past, and I really loved Jane who was smart and sassy. There were also so many scenes showing what happened to other characters in the series and there is still so much coming!
I am not 100 % what I think about the ending and things that happened there. But this was a compelling read.
