Well the end got better but this book was very slow to start. I think I finally really engaged around 300 pages in. But it was an interesting premise and well written.
4 stars
This was very good. The writing was interesting and really grabbed my attention. My only issue is I really actually did not like Grace that much. I wanted to. Really did. But she just didn't click with me.
3 stars
This was OK but not great. And I don't blame JK for wanting to write outside of the Harry Potter universe, but I seem to always attribute her to Great, so I struggled. It was enjoyable but I probably won't continue in the Cormoran series.

I think we weren't suppose to like her because although I Ioved the book I didn't like her.

5 stars
It's been a really long time since I've been caught up with this series. Just waiting on 24. I really enjoyed this one. Felt more like the bumbling bounty hunter than the ones as of late.
4 stars
I started reading this series in high school. Kind of nice to revisit it while I'm working. I always need audiobooks I can focus in and out of. Re-listening works so well.
Hey Kate 😀! Good luck with your goal! I'm trying to get myself back into action this year. Them kids... girl. Hopefully, we can set up some BRs this year. I miss them.

Right. And mine has the nerve to be like, "Where do these kids learn this stuff from?" 😒😕 You! Honey, you! 😂😉
Yes, we should try and set something up. For sure. I'm always ready so let me know if you find something that sounds good to read. And I'll do the same.
Sounds good. I'll see if I can find something!

I think this is the last book I read in this series so many years ago. I remember (view spoiler)
Do you two plan on reading without me =(. I was planning to bring candy lol
Of course we weren’t! We still haven’t landed on a book yet
teasing you girls is so much fun!
4 stars
This was good. The characters were compelling although Ellen wasn't my favorite. The plot had promise but I spent the whole book waiting for something MORE to happen. The book moved and was interesting but just always felt like a big event was just out of reach. I'm looking forward to reading more from Liane Moriarty.
3 stars
I really wish these were full length books. I just think the world development would be amazing in a longer format.
4 stars
I think this was my favorite so far. These are so nice to listen to on audiobook. Narrator is great.
4 stars
A nice little romance although a bit rushed. Who wouldn't want to fall in love with a handsome stranger while traveling.
4 stars
Quick read. Compelling story. Cliff hangers always make me crazy... In good ways.
4 stars
I'm really enjoying listening to these. The narrator is great. The hospital angle was so interesting.
3 stars
ARRRRGGHHHHHHH the cliff hangers. I'm torn on this story but yet NEED to know.
3 stars
The tv show is such a guilty pleasure for me. Books were a fun listen!
Hoping you had fun getting lost in some pages in your first month!
Just love your comments Kate!!! Keep them coming :D
4 stars
I loved this movie and the book did not disappoint. The narrator (as I listened to it) was not my favorite but was not bad either. Well worth the listen.
4 stars
This is my favorite book of this series so far. Whereas before, I wasn't as sure of continuing this series, I'm now fully onboard. Hadley's POV was a great addition.
4 stars
This was even better than the third. I'm very torn if I want a happy ending or not. It would be sad if it didn't all work out but what a plot twist....
4 stars
Ugh... I just want Lindsay and Joe together. Is that too much to ask?!
4 stars
This was a great series and really engaged me starting book 3. Looking forward to more from this author.
4 stars
Not something I would typically read and I really enjoyed it/need book 2 now! It was a bit slower to pick up for me but definitely worth it in the end.
4 stars
The premise is good and intriguing. This one needed some editing but not bad for a first novel. After hearing the series continues to get better, I would definitely think about continuing on.
4 stars
I'm glad I read this before the movie came out. I feel like I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it as a kid but overall it was enjoyable.
4 stars
These are really nice to listen to at work. Light, interesting, narrator is good, and 100% focus isn't a requirement.
You are doing great! Hoping March is a smashing success for you.
3 stars
This is very different from the show. Which is nice, but think I need to take a little break from the series. I find I'm losing interest in it.
4 Stars
Sometimes the writing really annoys me. But, I am enjoying listening more than actually reading this series. The actual plot is good.
3 Stars
I liked the snake aspect (I hate snakes). I really hate that (view spoiler) So because of those things it's a bit lower of a rating but still kept my interest. On to 9!
5 stars
So good! Lots of twists. The anticipation built. It was a great way to illustrate not trusting everything you think you know.
4 stars
I liked this book. The premise was strong, and the format unique. I listened on audiobook and they had different voices for people which was nice. I will say that it was hard to grasp the amount of time had passed between events but not sure if that was due to the format of the book or the audiobook.
