Agatha really is going to give up smoking? I’m not pro smoking but I feel like Agatha really would not give up the habit /: hmmmmmm. Of this stands I am going to need to really be convinced that this change is believable.

Holy cow. For a minute there I thought this was the last Bunny Tale 😳 It was supposed to be but it looks there are still two more.

What in the name of all that is good is this new writer doing!? James impulsively kissing Agatha outside in the forest!? What!? And Agatha estranged from Sir Charles? Blasphemy!

Okay so I got this on my kindle in a Libby “skip the line” and my time ran out /:
sigh
So I put it on hold

System Collapse (The Murderbot Diaries, #7)

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is 11% done with The September House

I know I said I don’t think I can read anything that contains violence to children right now - but this book seems more like a ghost story and my hold for it finally came in on Libby so I am giving it a go.
I am listening to this as opposed to reading it. I’m not crazy about the woman who is reading it ~ but I am just ornery right now.

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 25 of 256 of Hot to Trot (Agatha Raisin, #31)

I’m listening to this. I am so weird ~ I find Penelope Keith reading Agatha Raisin books to be comforting.
I know. I know.
I am almost 54 and I like watching birds now too.
I have not felt great for a couple of days and I reached out for something warm.

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is starting Conversations on Love

This is a DNF for me. It wasn’t that it was not good - but someone close to me died in early December and I am pretty sure it just hurts to read anything with the depth this book has.
*sigh*
Another reading slump and a whole lot of playing Stardew Valley Expanded.

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* added a status update

Calling all Bosch fans! Should I read the Lincoln Lawyer books in order as they meet up with the Bosch Universe? Example: wait until Bosch book 18 to read Lincoln Lawyer 2 so that the books synch up?
Thanks so much for taking the time to respond!

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is starting City of Bones (Harry Bosch, #8; Harry Bosch Universe, #11)

I’m giving the Bosch books another try.
I have to say that I am annoyed at the fact that there are at least three other series that connect to the Bosch Universe :/ The other books come in and out of Bosch’s timeline willy nilly, and one of these intersecting series I flat out don’t care for.
I’m one of those people who like to read books in order so this wicked irritates me.

City of Bones (Harry Bosch, #8; Harry Bosch Universe, #11)

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 15 of 470 of A Darkness More Than Night (Harry Bosch, #7; Harry Bosch Universe, #10)

DNF
It wasn’t going well up to page 15. My mom had a heart transplant and for whatever reason any books with heart transplants feel weird to me. Besides that the writing seemed awful. Not usually what you get with a Bosch book. So I looked up a few reviews and found an excellent (and hysterical) review written by Becky that convinced me not to read the rest of the novel.
Onward

Eighteen pages in and this book is breaking my heart

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 32 of 364 of The House on Foster Hill

Wow. This book is AWFUL so far. Maybe the worst book I have read this year /:
Might be a DNF

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is starting The Flood (Blackwater, #1)

This was not just a DNF it was I just could not pick it up.
I blame myself.
I will try again later

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 17 of 289 of Close to Home (DI Adam Fawley, #1)

Oh no. Seventeen pages in and I am already getting yucky copycat Jon Bennet Ramsey vibes /:
I’ll give it 20 more pages.
Bummer if this is awful because I ordered 5 books in this series from the library

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is starting The Flood (Blackwater, #1)

For some reason I just can’t muster the enthusiasm to open this book. August maybe isn’t the perfect time for it. The contrast of a New England winter might be the thing that I need.

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is 43% done with Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases

Read by author.
Okay, so Paul is a bit stiff and awkward. A bit hard to adjust to in the beginning. You know what though? This is a good book and I think Paul is a good guy.

Unmasked: My Life Solving America's Cold Cases

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 58 of 332 of Bone Rattle (Arliss Cutter, #3)

I have stalled out in this book.
It may be a DNF for me.
Not sure why. I think I am fed up with the formula. I am not invested in the characters.

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is starting Trunk Music (Harry Bosch, #5; Harry Bosch Universe, #6)

Rats. I read these out of order :/ I hate that.

Trunk Music (Harry Bosch, #5; Harry Bosch Universe, #6)

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 52 of 247 of A House with Good Bones

The underground children? :/ Naw. You cannot feed it to me like this and then make it scary. To feel real it needs to be something that every kid gets threatened with OR explain how it scared you as a kid and when it was that you found out that not all kids were threatened with it (and how it weirded you out).
I wish GR would add these “updates” to your review

Sarah Ellen (in a slump) * and quite the curmudgeon as of late* is on page 182 of 398 of Redemption Point (Crimson Lake, #2)

Oh no.
As I was reading this book I was thinking how different Amanda seemed in this book. Then I started to get uncomfortable. “Oh no. Candice Fox is not going to start writing Amanda as a quirky Autistic character is she?” Being Autistic myself, married to an Autistic man, having two Autistic children ~ I really don’t like when a badly drawn Autistic character shows up in a book. On p. 182 - boom.
