Gustaf | 1936 comments Looking good!
I can live with possibly having to read the psycop series since I got Sean Ashcroft. She's becoming a favorite author of mine.


message 107: by Gustaf (new)

Gustaf | 1936 comments However Laura, I just saw your recommendations for me and I'm skeptical lol.
I have read Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe before I got goodreads and I don't like TJ or fantasy.
Going to be interesting.

Yeah i did have a little peek, short mystery stories i seem to adore and funnily enough while its not my go to genre. I have a tendency to enjoy when i do read them, like dance with the devil was so fun for me and the book i rec'd you Witness is dark mystery that i somehow really liked despite not what i go for often.

I am like this for a lot of genres i just don't look for like historical and ya too, ive read couple recently and enjoyed a lot. Same with mf, as skip over these days but been reading lately and still love. Im just so mood reading 😂

Trip  (shardsofromance) | 2210 comments Lol not surprised, it took me a week or two to proper clean out mine then organise how i wanted it, im still slowly moving books to abandoned series shelf.

Anw, such a good surprise!
I'm not into too sweet stories, I'm all about murders and mysteries.
BUT, it was nice, really nice (I think you could like it Gustaf!). Owen is a nice guy, shy and all, with an ass for an ex, and he's trying to get back his confidence by having a "relationship" with an escort. A bit of drama, not so many sexy scenes, but we can feel the connection between them, and it was a short/nice one.
