Death Du Jour: A Novel | Kathy Reichs

Mehso-so

This is the second in the Temperance Brennan series, and I think I'm just not crazy about them. I love the TV series Bones, but this is nearly unrecognizable as the source material. The story was ok. The characters are ok. The narration was bad. If I pick up book 3, it'll be in print.

vlwelser I read some of this series and for once I think I liked the tv show better. But they are really not even the same thing. 3y
Andrew65 Think they get a bit better but never overwhelmed by them. 3y

Traci1 @vlwelser i much prefer the characters and setting from the show. 3y
jb72 I have book one but I‘ve not read it yet. Great job on the 9 hours! 😁 3y
Bookgoil I need to keep reading these! ❤️ 3y
DieAReader 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I‘ve been slowly reading this series for several years & I like it well enough. I‘d have to agree that I prefer the 📺 show (this may also have something to do with my 🥰 for David Boreanaz too😁). Have you read the Kay Scarpetta series? This is also part of the reason I am still working on the Temperamce Brennan series (14+/19 read)😉 Out of the 2, Scarpetta (6/24 read) is the one I prefer. (edited) 3y
Traci1 @Squidget I've never read any Cornwell books. I'll have to give her a try. 3y

This was a lovely, lovely book. Magical and sweet, and just so good. One of the best, maybe THE best I've read this year.

This was a reread (listening this time). I got about midway through book 6 years ago, but I've forgotten so much I decided to start over. It's a good thing I did, as I'd forgotten nearly everything. One of my 2021 reading goals will be to finish the series.

Pupcakes: A Christmas Novel | Annie England Noblin

This one could've been a pick. But the narrator's accent was so irritating, the constant reminders of the location (yes, you're from Jonesboro and now live in Memphis - you've mentioned it at least 37 times), the repeated unrealized held breaths, laughs, tears, etc. just kept me from enjoying what was a pretty ok story.

Traci1 @Bookgoil I think if I had read it in print, I'd have enjoyed it a lot more. The narrator just irritated me so much. The story was actually decent. Though not really Christmasy. 3y
Ruthiella “Unrealized held breath” drives me NUTS. It‘s so over used. 😖 3y

This was way cuter than I expected. Realistic it was not, but it was adorable and fun. It would make a terrific Christmas movie (a little too racy for Hallmark, maybe).

I enjoyed the original CiE story much more than this one. The small Christmas town setting is still just as charming as ever, but setting alone can't carry a story. The story was very blah, and adding in a bunch of side plots didn't help. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great either.
Nearly finished with my Emma and Pietro #audiostitching project.

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick The needlepoint is coming along wonderfully. Sorry the book was a meh. I listened to the first one a few days ago and even that one was just OK. 3y

A pretty good MSW book. This one was very festive, and I liked that so many "regulars" returned for a visit, like Harry, Grady, and Amos. I'd guessed the ending fairly early on, but it was still fun watching everything fall into place.
