pickI can‘t imagine what it would‘ve been like growing up in the 50s-60s, well that‘s not true because this book gives you a glimpse and it wasn‘t the best of eras. I loved the writing in this book and how technical yet explanative the chemistry was! Simply brilliant!! I don‘t give out many 5 star ratings, but this one definitely meets my criteria. Love, loss, mystery, injustice, humor, and SCIENCE…all put together with great writing. Book #9 in 2023
pickWow! This book had me thinking and questioning things. It talked about an event that affected the whole world, which caused mandates and fears. It closely resembled to what we went through with COVID but here you really start to question the meaning of life. It took me longer to read it because I needed time to process but I really liked it. It even made me cry a few times. 4.5⭐️

This is the closest to a “so-so“ of any in this series so far-this is the 11th. It refers back quite a bit to the first in the series, which I only partially remember. Maybe some of the themes, motivations, similar characters are starting to be repetitious? I‘m getting a little bit tired of the Ruth/Nelson…situation Ms. Griffiths has Ruth applying for a job at Cambridge, a little change of scene might be just what the series needs.
pickThis is a simple, expected, cheesy retelling with a little predictable twist. But I took out my inner child and I enjoyed it very much. I felt that I was watching a Disney performance☺️ I needed something light after literary fiction and mystery reads. The narrator performance was fantastic specially with the witch character. 3/3.5⭐️

23 #9 This book was slow. But I did finally become invested enough in the characters to care about the ending.
I was ecstatic when I found the local library branch was only 1 block from my new place. Getting my library card was one of the first things I did when I moved here.

I barely read between Christmas and New Year‘s, but got back to it this week. I finished up 3 books and a short story. I plan to review them, but all were picks.
#WeeklyForecast
Currently reading #4 in the Monstrumologist series for #serieslove2023 and Surviving for our #LMPBC group.
Girl and Song were started in December so I want to get back to them.
Next audio will be either Joe Ledger #9 or the final Monstrumologist books.
pickI have read mixed reviews on this one. For me, it was 5⭐. It has a true crime feel ( 1974 story), murder and suspense (1974 & present). As you can see, it has a dual timeline and some people don't like that, so if that is you, you will probably want to skip it. I found it very engaging.
This is #9 for the #winterreadathon #winterreadathonchallenge
