Was very happy with my scores from the Little Free Library on the way to ballet last night. The 2 kids books are super cute and I didn‘t get to see the tagged author at the Sydney Writer‘s Festival this year so this book was a very pleasant surprise. It was pointe class last night and my big toe nail is dying making everything extra painful however I don‘t look as though I‘m in pain in the video. Ah the ballet illusion! 💛
Fabulous book + fabulous dog. I think I snagged THE SCANDALOUS LETTERS OF V AND J during one of those Stuff Your Ereader events, and I‘m super happy with Past Me‘s choices. This gender bending epistolary historical fantasy is all kinds of moreish. I know what I‘m doing with the rest of my evening.
so-soMiss Marple in Space. We are in the POV of Dorothy and she is a strong character who works well. It started strong and then fizzled out for me. The secondary characters felt very weak and Dorothy did not really interact with any of them to any depth. It really felt like the story was missing a dimension, and it badly needed a Watson.
pickI love the ancient Greeks and their gods and heroes, so I don‘t know why it took so long for me to pick this up. I struggled for the first few chapters, but I‘m so glad I persevered. I fell into the story utterly and completely and devoured it. The storytelling is nothing short of beautiful ❤️
pickYou‘re Not Supposed To Die Tonight is a fast paced young adult thriller/horror story.
Camp Mirror Lake, is the site of a horror simulation game, where Charity plays the “final girl” in each evenings games, which is made complete with fake blood/gore and many scares. Charity and the rest of the crew, enjoy creating fear and terror for their guests.

pickThe old Hollywood backdrop was fun, but the real joy was falling under the spell of the titular star.
