Ok so I‘m like on the last thirty pages of this book and I‘m seriously sitting here reading with a 😳 expression on my face. I feel like I‘m on a train heading straight for a cliff and there‘s nothing stopping it😂😂😂 #sendhelp

Thanks @Ruthiella for the tag. 🤗 #15factsaboutme
I am a bit late because I have been off for a few days. I wrote down some points anyway, the decision what to weite was not very easy.
What about you @VeKu @Brooke_H @Chili ?

I foubd my tricksy friend! For the first day of #startreksummermay I offer the book that decided to teach me about unreliable narrators and it was preeeeety thorough!
(I do wish the ep A Matter of Perspective was better, because I love an unreliable narrative.)

I feel like I scored BIG at the used book store today with this hardcover first edition of The Egyptologist. This book ranks super high on my list of all time faves simply because of how messed up it is ❤️😂❤️😂❤️😂❤️

I absolutely adore a #deckleedge! For me, it really enhances my reading experience. The feel of it, the look, it's beautiful. #day9 #feistyfeb

These are two #epistolarybooks I own but have never read. Classic case of too many books, not enough time. #readjanuary

jpmcwisemorgan The Shaffer and Barrows book is quite good. It was recommended by a friend, who recommends it to nearly everyone. It's well-done and the format makes the story work even better than it would just a straight-forward novel. 7y
B.Reader I've read both of these and loved them. I want to do a re-read of The Egyptologist here soon. It is somewhat creepy and super interesting! 7y
Bklover Guernsey is good! Pretty quick read and enjoyable. 7y

Mtroiano Story of my life! 7y
SaraFair You must try Guernsey! One of my favorites and I just bought it for the title. 7y
Kimzey My book club read both. We loved Guernsey. The group was divided on The Egyptologist, with members either liking or hating it. I thought it was clever and funny! 7y

Overwritten and s-l-o-w to get to the point. Considering Egyptology is one of my life long, consuming passions, I found it ironic that my patience was tested with this.

Very, very interesting. The book is told from several different (often conflicting) points of view. A thoroughly engaging story and unique method of storytelling.

"No matter, I shall edit when I return home. And I shall. But, of course, should I be beaten to death and shoved inside a gangly Earl's travelling trunk and then hacked to pieces and my shreds lazily flipped overboard to peckish sharks, well, then, a pity indeed that I did not edit my work when I had the chance."

I am excited for this book. Only a couple pages in and I'm already intrigued (and amused).
