Taking a break from chores to fuel up on water, cold medicine, and a new book

Bk13 of June & #BigJuneReadathon is done. After ripping through the latest Slaughter so quick, I‘ve decided to go back & reread the Grant County/Will Linton books from the start. Unfortunately I found when I did #TheGreatLibraryCleanOf2022 that some of them have been “liberated” from my collection but all book thieves will get their just desserts one day.😈Sara Linton is a coroner & paediatrician in a small Georgia town👇👇

The manner in which the set-up and the sketchy character gaslighting for such plot purposes just didn't come to me in a good mental state, so was just too triggering at the time. The middle section of the book improved this and was the best, with its dialogue and characterization. The ending was quick, anticlimactic, and didn't really answer my questions of context and character contradiction satisfactorily. I almost DNF'd this early on. 66ish%

I haven‘t read my #Roll100 picks for the last couple months but I am excited for Julys.

This was an interesting book. Douglas Preston went to Florence Italy to write a fictional crime novel & ended up getting mixed up with the real monster of Florence case. A case that was compared to London's Jack the Ripper & helped inspire Thomas Harris' Hannibal.

This is a solid crime thriller. Four friends visiting a remote island and only 3 return. For me it was the setting that resonated….Iceland. A perfect place for a murder..isolated and beautiful. My last overseas holiday before Covid hit was to Iceland in 2019. Such a wonderful destination!! Oh how I miss travel😍

Several young women go missing, but police fail to take action because they were known to be drug users and prostitutes. This is the story of those women, and also how the internet, particularly Craig‘s List, plays a role in sex work. My heart breaks for the families who still do not have justice, as no one has been held accountable in these deaths. This is also a Netflix documentary. #booked2022 #adaptedforsmallscreen

I think this is the third time I‘ve tried to read this book. It‘s not bad, I just don‘t have much time.

I will be so glad when this word disappears from every day conversation in books (and anywhere else!).
