1. Dark mystery crime fiction, I think 😅
2. My current read is apparently one, The Cuckoo‘s Calling by Robert Galbraith

so-soThis book could have been waaaayyy shorter and been just as good! I enjoyed it, but it took me forever to read because of how much extra nonsense was in it. Pretty sure I‘ve gone cuckoo from reading it.
Thanks for the tag @bthegood
🌟Yes, if I stay up late reading
🌟Cormoran Strike novels and Emma - I have an almost annual reread of them all
🌟Getting through the month with work. I‘m on a countdown to the end but I don‘t want short timers to creep in before I‘m done.

Day 157.
Here I will note 365 books (or as many as I will have before I get tired) that have shaped my taste in literature. No explanations, no reviews. Just the cover of the book.
I do not challenge anyone. You are all welcome to take part.
pickRating 4.5 stars.
Literally the only issue I had was the constant vilification of fat people in this book. If it only happened once or twice I could overlook it, but it was at least every handful of chapters.
pickI wasn't sure where this book was headed when I started but enjoyed figuring out "who done-it" and folling the steps of the detective.
I'm hoping by next check-in I am done with this one! Its so good!

panUgh this was trash, it was boring and obvious. It really took my energy to get through it
I meant to spend the afternoon reading, but my daughter convinced me we should make Chinese dumplings (about 12 dozen of them) instead!
I still managed to put in 2 hours and 50 minutes for the #20in4 readathon. @Andrew65
pickI really enjoyed this book, I just finished reading it 3 days ago. The characters were really well developed and the story line was intriguing and exciting. The ending shocked me and I would definitely recommend it . I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
pickI finished this 2 weeks ago and forgot to review. I really enjoyed the characters in this one. Strong MC‘s and intriguing + witty side characters. The detective story/mystery was well played out and I didn‘t guess the actual culprit. Storyline moved quickly. I enjoyed this and will eventually try the rest of the series. ☺️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️/5
pickThis book was fun. I wish I could feel comfortable with the whole book. I give it 7 out of 10 - I would say higher but the writing in some sections is were a little cringey. I will watch the series on HBOMax. My friends love the book series. #crime #whodoneit #uk #british
When Strike asked Kiera if she had slept with his father, before sleeping with her. This whole moment took me smooth out. It was cringey moment lol 😂 - I am still listening to this book. Having to ask someone have you slept with my father, means you probably you shouldn‘t sleep with them.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.
Day 59

Well, it's been a while... but nice to see you all, my fellow Littens 😊 Current read, but audio version. Cuckoo's Calling, just finished the first half, and I'm loving it so far 😍
My book finds this week!! So I have book 3, the Career of Evil. Not knowing it was part of a series I started it. I quickly realized it had a good history behind it. I am a bit bumbed that book 3 has a very nice book cover and these are the tv promos...
I've heard great things about this series.
Who's read it?
pickThis has been on my shelf for ages, and I'm glad I finally read it! I really enjoyed this one: the mystery was well done, but I adored Cormoran and Robin.
I have book two, and will be reading that asap!
pickDone with my #bookspin #doublespin book.
I liked this book. The starting was a bit choppy in terms of writing (which seems to be at odds with the story) but by the end, I was hooked to the story and though the killer wasn't difficult to guess, I still couldn't help but finish the book.
@TheAromaofBooks
pickSo much better than expected. I genuine page turner. Mr Galbraith has an extremely promising future 😉
pickThis is a great murder mystery!
Has great, believable, current characters that add to the interest.
It is the first book in a series though, just a heads up :)
I really lucked out and got the first 3 in the series at my fave bookstore,(C, you know who you are- you're the best),all thanks to the recommendation from a stranger!
bailedGave it a good run, but halfway into the book and it just isn‘t holding my interest. First DNF if 2020. Perhaps I‘m a Rowling fan, but not so much with Galbraith.
On the bright side, I‘ll be unhauling the next two books in the series. 3 books off of #MountTBR, just like that!
Currently reading!

February, you are too darned short!
so-soWow! this book was a whopper. When I first started it I hadn‘t realized it was over 400 pages long which normally doesn‘t make a difference to me. But I struggled reading this story. I put it down a lot because I just wasn‘t that invested in it. I‘m still sort of not. I liked the mystery of it all and because of that I‘ll read the other books in the series. It wasn‘t incredible and not terrible, just a ok book.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickI quite enjoyed this! Good pacing and I liked the characters. Immediately started the second book.

These are the oldest books on my Goodreads TBR. They‘ve been there since 2013 - and I‘m finally getting around to reading them! What are your oldest unread books?
1. Monopoly?🤷🏻♀️
2. Australia 🇦🇺
3. 61/75 ✅
4. It was years before I read Harry Potter, then I loved it. Likewise the Cormoran Strike series. 🔎
5. Toilet paper over or under? 🧻

so-soThis was good. There were parts that lost my interest just a little bit. I think sometimes the “hard-boiled” (darker, grittier) mysteries don‘t always keep my interest as much as other mysteries (maybe not always). This may have been one of those. Overall, though, I still thought it was good. I am planning to try the next in the series, so I‘ll continue for now.
1. Finally got around to joining the Cormoran Strike club. ❤️
2. Navy
3. Toured a historic dam power plant.
4. Can snap. Keep trying to whistle but no.

pickI definitely enjoyed this detective style mystery novel. I really liked the characters, especially Cormoran Strike. I found that Strike had a lot of depth and I liked the chemistry with the other characters in the book. I found it to be a little bit wordy at times and I think it could have been cut down some, but I liked it overall. I suspected the ending to be what it was, but wasn‘t positive until it all came together.
