I think September might be a whole month of mysteries. Sigh.
I think September might be a whole month of watching deadlines get closer and closer and not making enough progress.

I need two more for Read Harder and am just not thinking about them at the moment.

The narrator is okay - I wasn't crazy about her at first, but she has grown on me. She does Mrs. Which REALLY well.

** Sigh. This book only has an audible audiobook and I do not want to use one of my credits for a COZY. So thankfully it is on Scribd and I can read it [I need to be careful with this because I have found I MISS reading and tend to read way too long and then I have serious eye pain and a headache] on the computer [with HUGE font] but it takes me a bit longer that way. And I ended up starting it last night so that is why all the dates are out of sequence.
The book club that I attend at Carnegie Library in Oakland has a main moderator who apparently hates us all - the pick for December is a book that is SECOND in a series [in the two years that I have been going to this book club, we have not read #1] AND references "Three Men in a Boat" as well. Which doesn't really seem that bad until you realize that the first book is 593 pages, TMiaB is 259 pages and the actual book club book is 493 pages!!!! Yeah, I am officially buried [as I have 10 NetGalley books to ALSO read on top of all THIS reading] and its all in Sci-fi which is NOT my favorite genre by a long shot. The next 2 1/2 months just got really, really, busy,

Well, that's kind of rude!
It is rude, Elyse. We have decided that the discussion in December had BETTER be awesome after we read almost 1200 pages for it.
I am starting to feel human today and actually got through a good bit of my current cozy - I do not know how all of you have lives AND get to read!!! I bow to you!!! ♥
