I finished the train book!

Shall we risk my genius with the wheel, or does someone else want to do the honours?

I've a 572 pager that I'm hoping to plow through today, travel day.
Mc male, infatuated with concubine. Possible hate crimes

There's MurderBot merch?! How did I not know this?!

Oh, you are an angel to force yourself through that horror! How can we ever thank you?!

Dq Day 3- chaps 30-46

11. I can understand their desire to drink to forget the awfulness, but it seems like a really bad choice to reduce their personal competence!

12. I'd've done something to put it out of common, I think. But that's more likely to be throwing it off a ridge into the snow.
Weapon.... I do see Simone's point: if theyd had weapons when they scattered out of the cabin then there would have been more injuries

13. Yeah, I think there's a mysterious death in all their pasts which is why they're being picked on

14. It's pretty effective writing to get the tension up!

15. Yup! I'm sticking with Kiernan, esp now the teeth could be from the home owners, familiarity of the figure in Hutch's video clinches it. But whether he has an accomplice I don't know

Shades of that snitch hunting!

I shall pick up a train on cover , get one of our older sets finished 😁

DQs Day 2
Ch 15 to 29

6.) After the teeth on the window sill and Christa's thoughts on there only being 31, were you still surprised when the found Kiernan's body?

So I was surprised, but it could still be him - they identified based on clothes, not anything else, and there's the oddness of the no blood at neck.

7.) Would you of been in the group that tried walking to find help or the group that stayed in the cabin?

Probably to try and find help. I'm not rating Simone's critical thinking in checking they were on the road though. Surely checking to find tarmac is an easy dig?

8.) What do you make of Alexis's story about Grayson and Denny?

I think it could be true.

9.) Well it looks like Brian, Kiernan, Miri, and Grayson are out of the running to be the killer. Any guesses out of whose left?

I'm still thinking Kiernan, because of the blurbs connecting it to And Then There Were None

10.) Why do you think this group is being targeted? Random bad luck? Planned?

Targeted. Did they all kill someone? (Christas flashbacks etc)

Day 1: ch 1-14

1. If you travel, where’s the coldest place you’ve ever visited?
I've been in the Alps when it's cold, but not for sustained periods
2. Do you like skiing?
Yup, though do not for a few years now
3. Do you think it was odd that the ski resort was open during a time it would normally be closed?
Not really, as resort have to diversify. I DO find it odd that it would be closed at a time when there's substantial snow!
4. Do you think Christa and Kiernan will be reunited by the story’s end?
Yes. Like others I am sus about Kiernan. Wandering off for a viewpoint? Nah....
5. Do you think Kiernan survived the storm in the beginning of the story?
Yup.

Hiya! I've finished my book on mammals, which polished off the Dragon King of Arms

Can someone spin us a new set:)

hmmmmmm.... I don't hate it.... what do others think?

elsewhere, I'll be picking up which will cover GOLEM in title nicely :)

ETA and might have a scientific "family" tree in there too!
It'll be a day or two mind

I'm just about to finish werewolf *322

:)

Lexi's already nominated this one! Feel free to nominate another, or just throw your vote behind her nomination!

We've had this as a BOM before, so it's not eligble.
Please feel free to nominate a different book

Who's that Sammy? Sarah Waters? I find her hard going, and have permitted myself never to read another!

ETA I actually liked The Paying Guests the most of the three I've read, mainly because it's set in my manor, so I could pretty much visit the house location and also see the changes in the environs

I can do that and my UNO 1 Yellow!

nope! bad move! I'm still infected

Audrey Jr.
1 500 to 650
2 MC murders or kills someone
3 Red cover (at least 50%)
4 Little or synonym in title
5 Standalone book (not part of a series)

At least the cover requirement is UNO-friendly!

I can spin!

anyone tempted to nominate #2 in the Forests category? ;-P

so, finally got around to

Whilst I adore Armitage as an actor and voice actor, honestly this was mot a great book, with the "twists" being SUPER obvs and the "thrills" and "tension" not high.

But it's got me above the Line of Shame for now
