We have this cute little Dog Bakery in Stockholm where they produce everything themselves and comes up with funny things like doggy beer and pupcakes.

I decided I needed a change of pace. My original pick was another mystery by LA Witt. But I’m going for a space military pick Liar's Waltz 😁

I'm reading Out Of Focus it's one of my favorite books. Always looking for a reason to reread it.

I am not a big L.A. Witt fan. I don't know why

Same honestly. And she's not a fan of me either lol. However, that one just clicked with me.

[Wende]

[Wende]

Most of LA Witt books that I like are her collaborations with other authors.

[Wende]

We should get our new task tomorrow on here. Not sure. But will double up on bingo hopefully

[Diane]

I am a LA Witt lover. Haven't read Out of Focus yet but will have to. Not gonna start my Bingo book til we get our category here.

[Wende]

My plan also Diane! I want a book for both

[DeeNeez]

With a whole week to read bingo book…. I want the extra book from here to keep from getting bored.

[Gustaf]

Oh i don’t need any extra books 😬 Doing double bingo, pass the parcel and this x)

[Wende]

I have world tour, this, and bingo. I am hoping to be able to double up on one

Here is your next task!

Task 5 - 29. Read over 750 pages in books about the same profession, teams decide which profession.

Professions such as LEO, military or musicians are ok. Just don’t try to pass off a rancher and a chef as both being in the food industry - they are simply not close enough. Please include the selected profession in your completions post and to let me know how you know the book qualifies - title, precis, tags or lists, including links and any other necessary information. I need to know where to look to confirm your books. Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

[Wende]

Love this one. what did we pick?

[DeeNeez]

So far so good 😊 Had to look up a few words 😂

I am not sure I like Everett Larkin. He treats his husband terribly

I like this book but did not love it. I did like the couple like you want to in a book. I think they were terrible to the husband. I am sure once he is no longer in the book I will enjoy this series more. It just felt wrong to me
3 stars

[Diane]

Am 75% through. Feeling similar about the husband thing.

Review
Great mystery! The detective partnership, was like Holmes meeting his Watson. Larkin and Doyle were perfect foils working together. I really don’t want to give away the story, but on top of Larkin’s unusual memory, he has some serious PTSD. When I got to the end it was, “Wholly crap! Where’s the next book!”

Review: Eh, I liked the MC's well enough but I wasn't too invested in the story. The mystery/thriller plot was well done, but I figured out who the serial killer was the moment we met him.

Review: Poe sure does like picking extremely obscure conditions for their heroes to be suffering from! HSAM was very interesting. I liked Larkin, though, and how he expressed himself. I liked the way Doyle treated him and reacted to him. Like everyone else, I am not sure what the husband, Noah, did to enhance the story. Another roadblock for the two to get through to be together? I think I would have preferred to him to be an ex-husband. Love the teaser for the next book though.

[Gustaf]

It's funny that once again, I was the only one reading a different book or different author x)

[Diane]

You are such a rebel Gustaf!! Obviously a leader and not a follower.
