The Therapist is a Netgalley ARC;
The colour of blood is my March #Doublespin pick, an Irish hard-boiled mystery set in Dublin I'm not enjoying too much so far, sadly;
The tagged is a non-fiction about psychopathy in females by a very cool and well-known forensic psychiatrist in Germany.

Much #forensicpsychiatry this Easter!😂

This was my first Catherine Ryan Howard book and it did not disappoint! This book is centered around a serial killer‘s (ex) girlfriend named Alison. The majority of the book is told from her perspective—from the past and the present. I found it to be very engaging and liked the short chapters.

This was my #TBRTarot pick for February. (Choose a book whose author‘s first name begins with C)

Book 3 in the #DublinMurderSquad series by #TanaFrench was another engaging mystery. LOVE how she takes a character from previous book to be the narrator in the next. Keeps the series fresh and interesting.
Faithful Place tackles Frank‘s backstory. I didn‘t love him in Likeness but this did an excellent job of showing us who he really is and care about him.
Also fun to be introduced here to the narrator of the next in the series😉

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A reread of a favorite - this time via audio. I think Tana French‘s entire murder squad series is stunning, but to me, this one is the best. The tragic romance, the complex family dynamics, the layered emotions, the beautiful writing! It‘s mesmerizing. She doesn‘t simply create characters; they feel like real, breathing people whose story unfolds before your eyes, shattering your heart in the process. 🎧

I finished this over the weekend. I don't think it would appeal to everyone, since it was relatively light on plot. Or maybe there was too much plot and not enough of a structure? At any rate, I enjoyed it.

I thought the writing style was going to bother me. But it reads a lot like a play, so I did okay with it. It was a funny and entertaining story. And now I need to find the movie.

I enjoyed the tagged, Keyes is an excellent writer. Not many points for the team in word search but it‘s a pick 👍🏾 #wintergames #USS #UglySweaterSquad

My entry for #weirdwords is “bob's your uncle,“ one of my favorite phrases used in the UK. As far as I recall I first encountered this in the tagged book where it was used somewhat frequently. According to wikipedia, “The origins are uncertain, but a common hypothesis is that the expression arose after Conservative Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquess of Salisbury (“Bob“) appointed his nephew Arthur Balfour as Chief Secretary (cont)

1. My purse is like Mary Poppins, you wouldn‘t believe the things I carry. 😂😂😂

2. Tagged- it‘s hard to describe but I laughed I cried I thought it was so unusual… so I‘ll call it quirky 🤷🏻‍♀️
