Time for another readathon. #20in4. My goal is twenty chapters as I never manage 20 hours. Hoping to get at least one book finished.
@Andrew65

This is my very loose #TBR list for #Scarathlon. Its Subject to change and mood. Plus a couple of review and true crime reads. Pumpkin heads is always a re-read. #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks

So this is my rough watch list for #Scarathlon #TeamCryptKeepers. It may change but its tradition to watch Spookley even though my girls are teens. They love the nostalgia.
@LiseWorks 21pts

#Scarathlon #BucketList #TeamCryptKeepers.
Well this is my bucket list. I'm going to try to do as many of these as possible. I do love this time of year.
@LiseWorks

This was an interesting read with a twist or two along the way. The plot is a steady burn to an ending you could see coming but was so cleverly executed. Molly isnt the most likeable character to begin with but as you learn her story, you do start to feel for her and by the end I really liked her. The mystery itself was good though I had just about figured it out. A great mystery though. 3*

This was a really good read. Its told from many persepectives so you get a really wide picture of everyone's story. The plot is a slow, steady story without the need for a big ending. The ending though was so well done. I liked how every story was settled and especially Esme's final showdown with the developer. The characters all draw you in and i think I enjoyed Cora's story the most but loved how Niamh's story finished up. #Netgalley 4*

#TeamCryptKeepers looking forward to getting to know you all. @LiseWorks #Scarathlon
1) it's a mix of my daughter and my mums name.
2) most genres but partial to a murder mystery, thriller or true crime
3) I really like autumn. All the colours.
4) I think so
5) England.
6) married mum of two teenage girls, love reading, colouring and baking though I'm not great at it. I have some unusual anatomy which leaves me with half a gallbladder.

A fascinating look into the myths that surround our trees and forests. The book has lots of illustrations throughout adding to the collection. It was an interesting read and I hope to find the others in the series. 4* book 6 finished for #SummerEndReadathon

This was a good summer read. Its a little slow going at times but still worth the read, especially if you love a romance. The plot is as expected for a story like this but I like how the ending came about. This wasn't too heavy on a misunderstanding and we really see Maisie find and accept herself. Her dog is awesome and of course my favourite character in this. He steals the show but its perfect. A perfect beach read. #Netgalley 3*

So a week into #SummerEndReadathon and I've finished four books. Not a huge time but I'm impressed so far. Some were started before September. @TheSpineView

Aww this was such a cute story and a fun quick read. Its a perfect lazing in the garden book. The plot is interesting and a must for any Jane Austen fan. I loved all the quotes at the start of each chapter. The ending was perfect for the book and i love how her story came together. The mystery of Nigel was an interesting addition to the story. Maddie is very likeable but of course she was outshone by Buster who was adorable. #Netgalley 4*

A really interesting read about some of her cases. Was curious about this having seen the author on crime shows. It was fascinating to learn more. 3rd book finished for #SummerEndReadathon 4*
@TheSpineView

Barclay's books are always a thrilling read. I do love them so much. They're a slow burn but it draws you in until you just have to know more. The plot is told through multiple characters, allowing for more depth and understanding of each character. There is a lot going on so takes some following initially but it soon falls into place. The ending was very good. Not quite how I wanted it to end but for the book it was perfect. #Netgalley 4*

I'm a fan of the author and this did not disappoint at all. It was a really interesting premise and read. The author knows how to build up a story then throw in a twist or two. I picked up a couple of them along the way. I like how the story is short chapters told in different perspectives and through the diary entries. It just gives more depth. The ending was well thought out and done well. 4* #SummerEndReadathon first book finished

#SummerEndReadathon starts today and its my birthday so celebrations all round. My goals are to try and catch up on my reading and some of my review books. Good luck all.
@TheSpineView

Oh this was so good. Lex and Ben are adorable and I love the development they each go through to reach the end. The plot was a sweet slow burn building to the perfect ending. I love how it all came together. The characters are all likeable especially Ruby. She was amazing. A heartfelt story. 5*

#20in4 starts today. My goals are twenty chapters during the readathon. We're also celebrating some amazing GCSE results here so not sure how much I'll get read.
@Andrew65

Wow what a twist filled ride this was. Its just one twist after another. I figured out one part but the ending especially really threw me. It was brilliant though. Just when you think you know, you realise you've been tricked. I love stories that catch me out like this. The plot is a slow burn but it just keeps building until you're desperate for the next page. Eve is very likeable but almost the only one really. #Netgalley 4*

Book 4 in the series and there's a development in her sisters case. This is an interesting series though as a mother, a hard read at times. This one was less dramatic but it does give us more about Anna. 4* book 5 read for #RushAThon

Thanks for the tag @Yuki_Onna
#WondrousWednesday
1: they're loads. Sherlock and Mycroft are pretty strange. Zaphod Beeblebrox is definitely unique.
2: tagged above. A long running joke especially in my family.
@Eggs
Play along if you haven't. I tag you all.

Oh I wanted to like this but sadly it's not for me. I couldn't bring myself to like Sophie. She just came across as all about herself and some of her actions were too questionable for me. I also wasn't a fan of the ending. Without giving spoilers it wasn't how I wanted it to end but perhaps for Sophie it was the right one. 2*

Gotta love a medical romance when you need something light and easy to read. Two good stories liked the first one more. My library has loads of these so a nice break from crime/thriller. 3rd book finished for #RushAThon
@Andrew65

This was such a good read. its funny, touching and sweet. You go through a range of emotions through the story. Its a steady build to a perfect ending. Aww i loved the ending so much. What a way to finish the story. The writing is fun and its rare you see a love story with cricket mentioned, not in a bad way. The characters are very likeable but my favourite after the dogs of course was Betty, She was such a legend in this. #Netgalley 5*

So first week of August done and #RushAThon not the best start reading wise but have finished one book hoping for better this week.
@Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES @DieAReader

Oh Alex I love you so much. This was such a great story. I enjoyed it so much. We've got mystery, humour, drama and romance. The plot is a good steady burn to a brilliant ending. I did have an idea who was behind it all but it came together amazingly. The characters are so much fun and you easily warm to them especially Alex. 5* first book read for #RushAThon. @Andrew65 @GHABI4ROSES @DieAReader

Today marks the start of #RushAThon. A month long readathon. My goals are to try and read as much as possible and catch up on some review books. @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Having read the longer story that precedes this, I was so excited to catch up with Bridget again. This is a very short and sweet story but it just shows how things are for her since the first book ended. There is a little angst in the middle which was a bit predictable but I still enjoyed it. A fun summer short read. #Netgalley 4*

#JubilantJuly. Not the highest reading time but I did get four books finished so that's really good. Seemed to find the buzz again
@Andrew65

Wow what a read this was. There are so many twists along the way though in the back of my mind, I did have an idea who the killer was. This is told through various medias like texts, emails and the main chapters are the actual episodes of the show which is an interesting concept and I really liked it. I've seen this in her other books and it works well. The plot builds with each episode until the explosive ending. #Netgalley 5*

Another great read in the series and Brennan getting herself in trouble once more. I liked the mystery and guessed the truth around the same time she did. 4* 4th book finished for #JubilantJuly

So three days in and going well. Two books finished and a third almost done. Seem to be in more of a reading mood. No reading outside due to the weather but given how bad it is for others we're pretty lucky. #JubilantJuly @Andrew65

This was an interesting read. I wasn't sure at the start but it slowly pulled me in. The story jumps from past to present as we slowly learn all the details. The ending worked for the story and i liked how it came together yet I would have liked more of a conclusion. The story is well written and descriptive. it sets the scene and then pulls you in as you decide how you feel about the girls. #Netgalley 4*

A nice easy read about a family. I find these books good when you want a slower pace. I read a lot when I was younger after my dad won s box of books at an auction. Deals with a couple of heavy subjects but it's hopeful and loving.

#JubilantJuly starts today. My goals are to try and get three books finished. Good luck all. Happy reading.
@Andrew65

Well what a thrill ride this was. The plot is quite a quick build up to a really great ending. I love a good showdown. This is the first in a trilogy and i definitely want more. I love Steven and his attempts to protect those around him. We then have the best friend who is sassy and amazing. Add in the typical grumpy boyfriend and the cute love interest and you have a story. This does give me Carry On by Rainbow Rowell vibes.

#ReadersFirst 5*

Aww I really enjoyed this story. It's always interesting when it's the female lead who was the reason for the break up and has the issues. The plot was really well written. Its a steady burn to a perfect ending. I did love the scene towards the end with Witney too. The characters are fun and likeable especially Elliot. A fun summer beach read. #Netgalley 5*

Proud mum post. This is my eldest reader and me. She's off to her prom tonight. She isn't a dress wearer but this just sums her up perfectly.

Well not a great time for #20in4 but I did finish two books and read twenty chapters during it so I'm happy. Sadly one was a pan but onto better books @Andrew65

This was an interesting premise but sadly didn't deliver for me. I found the story slow and it didn't hook me in like I expected. Of all the characters Naima is probably the most likeable but its a stretch. The ending was a bit of let down for me. I wanted more, that being said it did fit with the flow of the story. The writing is good and descriptive. I'm sure others will enjoy the truth of how the centre works but it just wasn't for me.

An interesting look at travel on ships for women across the years. I liked all the stories about the various women especially Violet Jessop. Detailed and interesting. 3*

#20in4 readathon time again. My goal is to read at least twenty chapters. I can never quite manage the twenty hours. Hoping to make a chunk through the various books I'm reading and maybe finish a couple.
@Andrew65

Oh I love this series. Its so interesting. I'm not usually a big fan of historic novels but there's something about these ones that drew me in and didn't let go. The mystery is a clever one and there's lots going on. Its a slow burn, build up but the ending is really well done. Especially the part with Gregor. I do love the relationship between Sarah and Will its a bit more unique than other stories which I really like. #Netgalley 5*

Wow I love this series so much and was really looking forward to reading this. Its very dark and does deal with some very triggering themes but I think it handles it well and shows some interesting persepectives. Esepecially between Sara and Sloane. The plot is a slower burn but it does fit with the story and wow what an ending. I had an idea but how it all came together was brilliant. #Netgalley #ReadersFirst 5*

Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1: I would love to visit Italy 🇮🇹 I've read a few books that mention it and it always sounds fascinating.
2: Yes I would, it was a dark and twisted read.
3: I'm about to start the above tagged book and really looking forward to it.
#WondrousWednesday

Not the best time but did manage to finish two books so always a bonus. Was a busier week than planned as eldest finished her GCSEs #JoysOfJune
@Andrew65

This was an interesting premise and a twisted story. You're never sure who is good and who is bad. The plot is a real slow burn but it's building to a twist filled ending. None of the characters are particularly likeable but it fits with the story. The ending was well done and finished the story cleverly. It just didn't thrill me quite as much as I'd hoped. A dark twisted read. #Netgalley 3 *

Three days in and not much reading done unfortunately but have been enjoying the sun. One book is finished though which is great. Hoping to finish at least one more. #JoysOfJune
@Andrew65

An interesting look at the history of communicable diseases through history. The extracts were fascinating to read and showed how many old ways to deal with them still exist today. 3*

#JoysOfJune readathon starts today. Hoping to get a couple of books finished. I'm looking forward to starting the latest Karin Slaughter. Early review book so really excited about that plus it's actually warm and sunny here in Norfolk, outside reading @Andrew65

This was an interesting concept. Pregnant detectives solving a murder. I must admit it impressed me how much they did whilst so pregnant I certainly couldn't. The plot is a slow build as there's lots going on so the initial murder does get a little lost along the way. I did like the conclusion and hadn't figured out who the killer was. The ending was good and finished the story really well. #Netgalley 4*
