Ok, there are still some serious hotties in the running, but so many have left. 🤤🤤🤤🤤 Thanks for the reminder, Sammy.
Howevs, I'm still a little bit angry at y'all for Keanu. I think it will take some time for me to recover from that shock exit. It will probably last until the Thrist Games starts up again.

I mean, who is left?

Namita, can you put Death Behind Every Door on your shelf, please?

I'm glad you're home and healing, Sammy. I hated those blood thinners, too! I got my husband to do it in the end. I have a crazy respect for those with diabetes who have to prick themselves regularly. It's not the pain so much as the psychology of it. I wish you a speedy recovery.

I hope your surgery is swift and easy, Sammy.

Shemar Moore vote here.

Aldis!!!

Not Keanu!!! 😭😭😭

Do I have 10 points to give to Keanu?

Keanu all the way. Look at his dad bod! Why is that man not my husband? I'm sure we'd be perfect together. 😍😍😍

I have 1 nonfiction wilderness survival ( or in this case what not to do maybe) - Into the Wild
I have 1 nature book - The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of a Lost World
I have started one literary fiction, but can stop and start something else until the mini begins- The Secret History
And I have a #3, #5 & #8 for the series. I have paused my #8. I'm about 1/3 of the way through.

I'll claim the ones I've started and the two I'm reading for other challenges.
I'll do the others if no one claims them and I'm.

Jamie here.

Oooh, very good tip. I will defo be utilising this.

Also, I managed to finish another 9 sincey last update. The nest books were both 4 stars, Half of a Yellow Sun and Monster in My Closet. Two very different books, but both very good.
I had a few surprising disappointments. Slouch Witch looks to have all the makings of a really good fun urban fantasy series, but ended up being a lemon. That mc was hard to like, and the romance was totally unbelievable. And Love in the Time of Cholera was quite uncomfortable. I loved 100 Years, but the casual and quasi-comical treatment of rape left a bad taste in my mouth. I didn't like the MCs much in the first place. But when it turns out one of them is a rapist, I honestly quit caring about his life. The creepy sort of pederasty is nasty, too. It's not a good book, for me anyway.

The book that inspired (at least in terms of writing style) Kushiel's Dart, which made it a must-read for me.

That's good to know. I've got Fire from Heaven languishing in a "to read" pile. I, too, loved Kushiel's Dart, so maybe I've got bump it up. It's only been physically sitting there waiting to be read for three years. I even put it on the coffee table in my livng room where I put my current reads. Still, it ended up back on the "sooner to read" shelf.
