Dem, the link got corrupted. There's a comma (co,) instead of an m (com). Here's the right link, but you might want to repost it yourself.

Riyadh Khalaf is a popular YouTube activist, a colourful guy who's put all the facts and fears in this one, well-illustrated book. Celebrities, photos, cartoons!


Oh, I have this one too :-) - will keep an eye out for your rating.

I started The Spirit Rebellion. I've decided to focus on finishing this series. It fits the Movie Mania challenge, so that's a bonus. :)




I'm not quite decided about what to start next. I could dive right into book 3, or I could do my monthly challenge read.

I am now going to start Blood & Sugar for the monthly challenge.

I've decided to go with my challenge read, The Glass Woman. I will start it today.




Audio was by Carl Prekopp.
I must start my bookclub read, Honour which is not available to me on audio so I must do the horrible text-to-speech voice :( When I can't take it anymore I sw8tch to Hood.

I will start today The Dry. It has been in my TBR for a long time (recommended by Rusalka, I think?) and it is borrowed from the library, so it fits one of the monthly challenge tasks.



I will start The Winter of the Witch today. It finishes a series, is published in 2019, and fits my MM challenge.

Well if you like it, you could always read the sequel?



Ooh, thanks for the idea Sandra!

I will be interested to hear what you think of Golden Hill, Margo. It was a 5 star read for me but I know quite a few people who didn't get on with it at all.

It was your rating that got my attention Lisa.

Eeks, no pressure on me then! Lol! 😉"

LIsa, I really enjoyed Golden Hill! Funny and surprising in several ways. I hope you like it as much as Margo and I did. :)







I could start a new audiobook today, but I think I will hold off for the toppler tomorrow. I have Vengeful down as my starting book.


My Review:www.goodreads.com/review/show/2843255982

I am now going to rest my reading muscles to be fit for tomorrow LOL

Glad you are enjoying Golden Hill, Margo.
I'm also putting aside my current read, Blood & Sugar, for the toppler. It's not as good as I thought it was going to be. I will finish it but I'm not finding it particularly compelling.

One of the main reasons I was drawn to it was because I had been seeing it compared to the works of C.J. Sansom. His 'Shardlake' series is one of my all time favourites so to see this being compared to that was really appealing to me. I think those comparisons flatter this to be brutally honest. It's not a bad book and I certainly don't hate it but I do have some problems with it.

I have the first 5 of the books in that series and haven't gotten to them yet. I've heard so many positive things about them.

I've read only the first two Shardlake books and thought they were terrific. I plan to read the rest - just saving them up. :)

Just read your review - thanks for the heads up :-) lots of similar reviews and then some who enjoyed it, hmm. I scanned the ratings of those who wrote reviews in Greek - some didn't like it, others did. Oh my....it'll be interesting when I finally get around to it. :-)
