pickA delightful little gem. Highly recommend. Especially as an antidote to the mundane Thursday murder club.

pickAbsolutely loved this - almost “light Hilary Mantel” if that makes sense. More license taken with plot & characters,plus a whole lot of sarcasm & swearing! But it really puts you in a Tudor world, amongst the servants w their POV, or amongst the scheming nobles. Good writing, great understanding of the time, a little modern sensibility of the prejudices, and lots going on as a young boy falls into a plot against the new king.
Just started and highly intrigued! Didn‘t expect to be gripped as quickly as I am.

This book accomplishes quite a feat for a slasher: it‘s equally terribly thrilling and poignantly moving. You can feel the love the author poured into the cast of elderly characters, rendering them with spirit and complexity, still chock-full of life. It‘s pacey and murderous, but it‘s also brimming with strength and hope. #Aardvark #AardvarkBookClub
pickThe story is crazy and over the top, and the MC Lottie is pretty lovable. On the one hand, she‘s a sweet and unsuspecting senior citizen with bingo games at her church and ailments galore. On the other hand, she‘s left a years-long trail of murders in her wake and isn‘t above committing more to keep her name clear. No one is safe around Lottie.
This be a super fun TV show. I hope someone develops it. 🔪🔨📺

I have treasured memories of watching baking shows on maternity leave while snuggled up with my newborn, but I haven‘t really watched them since. My “baby” (now five) and I started watching “Halloween Baking Championship” together for the first time the same night that I picked up this book. So, this was the right book at the right time for me, but I also just thought it was creative and endearing. ⬇️
October wrap up. I forgot to add Pet Sematary. I finished it at the end of September but I started over and listened to the audio book in October. Such a great narration! Everything I read was 4-5 stars. The tagged book surprised me. I usually hate books where the narrator is an antihero, and I‘m not in the habit of cheering on serial killers, but Lottie was a hoot! I‘m now gearing up for Nonfiction November. Happy Halloween! 🎃
pickThis plot line in this one is crazy, but highly entertaining and well written. I enjoyed it.😆 #hauntedshelf #BlackCatCrew @BookwormAHN
