West Heart Kill: A novel | Dann McDorman

Mehso-so

I thought this was clever. Much of the book was told directly from the author to the reader, breaking the “fourth wall”. We went off on tangents talking about what might happen, traditionally (or not), at various parts of a mystery story. Also, there were tangents that focused on classic mystery authors and stories. Again, I thought clever and very different. Con't in comments...

LibraryCin I also thought the atmosphere was done well. But I also found it quite “literary” and a bit dry. I didn‘t care about the people. I did like the twist near the end – that, I definitely didn‘t see coming. I liked the way things were revealed at the end. Again, the author changed the way he was telling the story, and this time, it was done in the style of a play. I didn‘t mind all the different things going on in how it was told. 2h

I've had this book on my shelves for a couple of years, and it took checking out the audiobook to get me to read it finally. It's creative, but I kind of think it's trying to do too many things. The resolution is drawn out and unrealistic, as well, which detracts from the story for me.

The Dispatcher | John Scalzi

Book 1 for #20in4 #audiopuzzling

This novella was a kidnapping mystery. And as always, Scalzi has an interesting twist on the world. Zachary Quinto was a decent narrator.

Here‘s my #20in4 TBR ☺️ My reading stats have been super low for September, so honestly even finishing the 4 I‘ve started and adding 2 more might be biting off more than I can chew… but on the other hand, maybe this readathon is exactly what I need to kick this #readingslump in the ass. Wish me luck! 😅

Trying to get my tbr pile down. New obsession to focus on since I had to move and there was stairs involved....
Wanna get to that level where I've read everything in my collection.

This is my 3rd read of his, & while it was my least favorite of the 3 it was still good. Lots of action, gritty, gory. Would make a great movie.

Used my lunch break to “exercise.” IE walking 3 blocks to the used book store for #allhallowsread shopping. Obviously my match stuff isn‘t pictured but I started this with my nephew last year. Top is for my sister and nephew, bottom is for Wes and I. I‘ve never heard of this cozy before!

Roary47 Halloween Hero‘s is a pretty cute one. We have most of the Paw Patrol Books over here! 🤣 6h
BethM @Roary47 we only have this one and First Words (which is a button one that‘s very well loved lol). We have two look and finds too actually! 4h
