I got it at the library first, before I decided I wanted to buy it. I know I will read it again."

I picked it up yesterday. :)

It took me awhile to get into it as I recall. I enjoyed it enough that I think I'll continue the series.

Karol wrote: "Two more for my To Read List challenge, both of them are series reads. It's been fun getting back into some series that I got away from the last 3 - 5 years.

A Trick of the Light, ..."

Both series that I need to return to, Karol.

I'm still reading and enjoying Domain by James Herbert but since I'm making good progress on other challenges, I'm going to start another in this challenge, The Wild Robot Protects by Peter Brown

All good mystery series, Kristine.

I know that feeling. I feel this obligation to keeping my local book stores afloat and also the online book shops.. But I have been overwhelmed with my purchases.. LOL

My wife and I laughed and cried all through it.. Just so good.

Ngaio Marsh is always entertaining.

I've got quite a few history books on my shelf to read too. They can be daunting.

My wife and I were too.

I've really enjoyed the 1st 2 Wild Robot books. I will read #3 shortly.

5 gold stars.

I am giving this adaptation one of my rare gold stars. It is masterfully ..."

I've looked at this a few times. The price scares me. However, I've read other adult graphic novels, like The Road, The Lord of the Flies and have To Kill a Mockingbird on my shelf, so maybe I will dig into my wallet and get Watership Down too... They seem to do such a great job recreating the original novels.

I gave up on The White Russian by Tom Bradby after 160 pages. Don't use this as an excuse to not read, check it out yourself, it might be right up your alley. DNF, NR

Reading a short one next, then maybe another tome... The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed

You're having a great month, Patricia.
