'Banned it?' Andrew said with a grin. 'How do you ban being patronizing?'

'Well, there were certain phrases he used that made me mad because they didn't sound rude but you knew they were. You know, things like "If you think about it," which means you're not thinking about it, and "With respect," which basically means without respect. "I think you'll find" is another one. I fined him twenty-five cents every time he said something like that.'

Oh I enjoyed this so much more than I thought I would. It might be my favourite Moriarty yet. (It‘s certainly up there with Big Little Lies and What Alice Forgot). The audio is great with fab Australian narrators.

Premise: A novel in linked short stories about the distant fate of humanity.

Review: This will no doubt work for a lot of readers, but despite the fact that I can recognize that it‘s very well done, it was not for me. Told in short stories, all at different moments in the future,, this is meant to keep the reader off guard. Cont.

Very confusing mystery for Jury. Who is who, and who dunnit are definitely in question. Can he solve it? Maybe... Different from most of his cases.

#Naturalitsy #HyggeHourReadathon

Reading Encyclopedia Brown for #HappyHour tonight. My library didn‘t have Book 5 but the library bookstore had a copy for 50 cents, so I grabbed it. Since it won‘t take the whole hour, I‘ll finish up with The House on Mango Street.

Beverage is ice water (hydrating) & snack are these gummy candies. Mood is tired & sad it‘s Monday. Breathing better tonight but not looking forward to a long day of work tomorrow.

I see,' he said again. You've been planning this for some time, then.'

He made it sound like a bank raid, Megan thought, or maybe premeditated murder. But she would not allow him to make her feel guilty; she had done far more than her share. 'Yes,' she said briskly. I'm twenty-one and I think it's time I started my own life.'

Listen to this mostly on a long drive this weekend. A haunting and original books. Narrator Chris has lost her wife Bo when Bo gives birth to their baby. Unfortunately in this timeline when you harm someone the government gives you an extra shadow as warning to others, so the baby gets one within minutes of being born. Unfortunately for The Kid Chris also has an extra shadow. What are they going to do without Bo?
Very well written with many 👇

I hate John Rainbird. These are all feelings I‘ve had before; I just forgot about them. #audiowalk #LosersClub
