*Update to Message 165*Ahhh I haven't updated in awhile, so I just did a massive update! I'm now at 87/82 books!
I've passed my goal, but I'm still going to continue on and add updates here periodically.
Fool Moon book 2 of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. This is continuing a series started prior to this year.20/68
Just completed another Hercule Poirot book - The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie. It is utterly insane to me that this was Agatha Christie's first novel! While it's not as tightly worded and nuanced as her later works, the basics of genius are still present. She was amazing! Definitely worth reading! 4 stars23/20

She is rather wonderful isn't she?!

Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up (#2)
Updated #411Have made it through the 11th book in the Molly Murphy series by Rhys Bowen. It's been an enjoyable series and I'm looking forward to the rest of the books in the weeks to come.
And I was blown away by Death Cloud, the first book in The Young Sherlock Holmes series. What an amazing beginning!

Just started the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy - Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan. The thing I most enjoyed about this book was the descriptions of Singapore - it definitely makes me want to visit! The characters were rather annoying to me. Rachel just seemed rather naive, and Nick was cluelessly privileged. Very different from the movie, so I'm actually glad I saw it first. It definitely became more interesting the second half, so I'll still eventually read the second book in the series. Worth reading. 3.5 stars24/20
