Vikki’s comments from the On The Same Page group.

I read The Midnight Library last year and thought it was very good, thought provoking for me. I also love Dickens works

3rd book finished - Driftnet
4 stars from me. I enjoyed this book, although the subject may be sensitive for some people. The ending felt rushed, at only 262 pages it wouldn't have been dragging it out to take more time with the ending.

36: Driftnet

Congrats on finishing your first book

Good luck with your challenge. I enjoyed Jane Eyre and Mansfield Park

Welcome everyone, great to see you all joining us :)
Any questions, just shout

Read the next book in the Millennium series by L..."

Think you may just have helped my decision about what to read next, I'm leaning towards Driftnet now

2nd book finished now - Girls Who Lie
This is the second book in the Forbidden Iceland series by Eva Björg Ægisdóttir. I read the first one in February 2021 and have been looking forward to finally getting a chance to read this one, especially after a webchat/seminar with some Nordic authors, including Eva. It caught my attention from the start and I was intrigued to find out what had happened. There was a twist towards the end which I didn't see coming and then I was even more keen to find out everything.
She does have a couple more books but they haven't been translated into English - I'll be keeping an eye for the translations as I'm definitely eager to read them.
A great start to 2022 with 2 5 star readings in the first week

25: Girls Who Lie

Thanks Yolande

I got the "take notes in the margins" but I think the "stay up all night" is more accurate for me

8: The Snow Killer

Thanks Jennifer. I will definitely post the books I have start..."

I've been thinking about this and going to stick to books started since 1st January. I had thought of a few ideas but this one is simple :)

First book finished, The Snow Killer which I've been very keen to read for some time. I'd heard a lot of good reviews about this book and it didn't disappoint. I have to admit one of the "twists" did catch me out. I'm definitely interested to read the next books in this series. 5 stars from me - a good way to start the year

I loved Game Of Thrones and 11/22/63. I finished His Dark Materials last year and felt a little disappointed with Amber Spyglass, I preferred the first 2 books.

Some nice choices thee with Persuasion, Agnes Grey, Oliver Twist etc. I do like classics from that time
