35559 I was about to watch The Hunger Games movies this weekend. Now I have to try and do that before the end of the month.
I would like a fan for my tent please.

35559 4th book read
The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
This is the second book I have read from the author and I enjoy the writing style and theme of the story.
The book flows very well and the characters are flawed and sometimes not likeable.

35559 4th book read 03/27/24
After That Night (Will Trent, #11) by Karin Slaughter by Karin Slaughter
The 11th book in the Will Trent series. I really enjoyed the book and love the series. I have been thinking about giving the tv series another chance. I don't think the mc fits my imagined version of Will but am interested to see how the writing compares with the books.

35559 @Sophie - I really need to get back to The In Death series and find out what has been going on with them.

35559 Hi Guys, I am currently in the process of deleting books from my TBR as the blurbs no longer appeal to me or they are not available in the library. On another note, I have also added a lot more.

35559 Finished Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin , I don't think it was a book for my age. Seemed very childish but not meant for children. It does resonate with today's work were kids are easily influenced.
Feb 01, 2024 06:27AM

35559 I gave up on the book I was reading moving on to the first page of my want to read books. I also deleted books that no longer sound interesting to me. Have read a total of 1 book so far.

35559 The other Sandy wrote: "Why is everybody so annoyed by Catcher in the Rye? Am I the only one that liked it? 🤔"

It was a required reading in my school life and for the time I enjoyed it. Especially when we compared it to those time. This was years ago and I never read it again so I don't know how I feel about it now.

35559 Finished NetGally book #1 Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin **
Unbelievable young adult book with so much hype going into it. You really have to suspend reality for this.
Jan 10, 2024 07:46AM

35559 I am committed to reading / reviewing my oldest book this month.
Death at a Fixer-Upper as well as Foul Is Fair which seems more of an inappropriate book for naive teenagers.
