Home with a cold and I just flew through this book. Tippy is still getting over the loss of her dad when her mum goes away & her uncle & his boyfriend move in to babysit bringing their big personalities to a small town near Dunedin. (Ie near a place I have lived - I had no idea it was set here!) it‘s a murder mystery with lots of swears and sequins. And there‘s a spooky old abandoned hospital which I think might be modelled on the one above! ⬇️

Centique Loved it! A little too gruesome to be a “cosy” but heaps of fun, great characters and some sass and push back against racism and homophobia. 11mo
Reggie I loved this. Hope you feel better. And there was a truly scary moment in that hospital where I was like,”Get out of there!!!” 11mo
TrishB Great review 👍🏻 11mo

CarolynM It‘s s much fun 🙂 Glad you enjoyed. Picturing that gothic horror would have made the hospital extra scary! Hope you‘re over the cold soon.💐 11mo

Last load of the year. Thank you @CarolynM for the book. Very cute and funny so far with a lot of innuendo going over Tippy‘s head. Lol And thanks for the card, the bookmark and the cloth. Hope everyone has a Happy New Year‘s Eve! My resolutions for the next year: Read more, lose weight(of course), go vegan the whole year and not just six months, and no more gambling.

Cathythoughts Happy New Year to you Reggie ! ❤️📚 2y

Reggie @vivastory Happy New Year, Scott! Also, I watched Silver Bullet again by Stephen King and I think it‘s a perfect metaphor for the state of our world. The evil comes in the form of religion. And because the government is too slow, you have the rise of this militia to its own detriment. And then you have this girl and kid in a wheelchair who represent all the marginalized people who are being terrorized. Also, the priest kills a pregnant woman,👇🏼 2y
Reggie which could be commentary on the religion‘s attack on women rights. Lol am I right? That King he knew more than he was letting on. #bookishconspiracytheories lol 2y

vivastory Now I feel like watching Silver Bullet 🤣 I think you're definitely onto something. Ever since I read The Shining I've said that it's one of the greatest working class novels I've ever read & I still stand behind this. 2y
CarolynM Glad it's giving you a laugh🤗 2y
vivastory So I just checked my prime account & noticed Silver Bullet is leaving in 3 hours. I poured myself a drink & settled down to watch it before it leaves 🍷📽️ 2y
Reggie @vivastory we just finished now while we were playing cards. Hope you like it, Scott! 🐺 2y
Nute Happy New Year, Reggie!💜🥳💜 Good luck with your resolutions. I‘m not setting any this year, because every year I fail miserably at their achievement. Better just to be hopeful that maybe something truly spectacular will fall into place! OMG…you‘re a card player, I knew that this friendship was the real deal!🤣 2y
Reggie @Nute lol, during Christmas if I wasn‘t working there was a constant game of Spades happening. Last night it was Gin rummy. Happy New Year to you Kimberley! I hope the truly spectacular happens for you this year! 😁 2y
