Speed: Hare

Hi Elaine!

I liked that all of your books were perfect for this time of year! My choices for you are The Twelve Dogs of Christmas by Susan Wiggsand A Very Merry Bromance (Bromance Book Club, #5) by Lyssa Kay Adams. I love dogs, so a holiday book about dogs sounds incredible. It also looked like you were far along in the bromance book series, so I wanted to give you a chance to get closer to finishing it! As for your bonus, I chose Snowed In at the Castle (Snowed In for Christmas #1) by Lucy McConnell because a royal winter sounds like a cool idea! I hope you enjoy!

The Haunting of Millie Nettles (Blue Moon Appalachia #1) by Barry Napier

Book - The Haunting of Millie Nettles
Author - Barry Napier
Date Read - 12/8/24
Rating - 3 Stars
Review - To be honest, I'm not sure how much I like this series yet. Since this was the first book in the series it was ok, The concept of the story line was interesting, but nothing wowed me like I thought it would. The author's writing style was a bit off putting. He made a habit of fat shaming characters. This was done several times. He also pointed out several times that those that live in the hills of Appalachia were "dumb". I'll give it another couple of books before make a decision on whether to dump this series or not.

I finished Phantom (Harry Hole, #9) by Jo Nesbø today. It's excellent but I'm distraught! The ending did not work out how I hoped.

Marty (martymill) | 1299 comments Only managed one of my books this month. Edith's Story The True Story of How One Young Girl Survived World War II by Edith Velmans was good but very sad. It was amazing how she survived and how good people risked their lives to help her.

I'm still working on Mary Anne by Daphne du Maurier . It's surprisingly difficult to get into, for a du Maurier book.

I'll have to keep A Murmer of Bees by Sofía Segovia for another day.
