panAt first I thought, cool a brother and sister duo hunting ghosts - a bit of a Supernatural vibe.
I truly tried to like this.
The main issue was I did not like Harper at all, she's whiny, self-scented and so needy.
The other thing is the story felt forced, and abnormal. Focusing on unnecessary details, while leaving important issues behind for no real reason other than to prolong the book.
At least it's off my shelf now. #donation
pickDidn‘t want to stop listening to this one! A hell of a twist at the end too!

pickI truly enjoyed this one.
I realized that I really like stories like this, where a hiker must battle not only their own inner self but also the harsh surroundings of the trails and all that it entails.
Even though I figured out the mystery early on, the writing was so captivating that I just had to keep listening.
The audio was extremely well-done.
pickI enjoyed this story of female gangsters in post-WWII England, but probably not enough to continue the series. Alice, the leader of the all-female The Forty Thieves, recruits Nell, an unwed mother-to-be, into her gang. After a betrayal that lands Nell in jail, she vows revenge on Alice.

pickI've seen the movie many years ago, so I knew what was to come.
But even knowing the big twist, I still found this very enticing and entertaining. All the subtle foreshadowing throughout the book, the tiny details one would miss on a first read.
All done masterfully.

pickA super quick, gripping story.
Hill inherited his father's knack for eerie topics that makes you wonder if just maybe all of this could be real.
Also #CoverLove 😍.

pickI started this book not knowing anything about Millay, with a very fleeting knowledge of her work. Her diary entries are filled with joys and criticisms, some very mean spirited and cruel, as well as a vulnerable soul who fought demons and ill health. A great look at her life. A good choice for #SundayBuddyRead .
pickI loved this 1958 satire poking fun at the British Secret Services.
