Willowweep Manor rescues the imperiled denizens of another universe: A gruff colonel, a capable young woman, a butler, a sweet old lady... you get the idea. When things start to go very wrong, Haley as at a loss about how to help her friends--mysteries aren't her thing--but works it out in the end.
Unlike Haley, I love classic mysteries, so I thought this was a hoot, especially the sweet old lady's village stories. Best to read book 1 first.
Fast read … read less than week! Different kind of twist. 6/10
I‘m finally doing it. I started watching the series and just knew I would probably love reading it more. So here we are….Better late than never.
so-soI finished listening to this over the weekend, and I‘m still not sure what I think about it. I frequently found the way the narrator described things and how he inserted himself in the story entertaining. However, the way things came together at the end seemed abrupt to me, and my overall impression was more a so-so than a pick.
I put this on hold for #AuthorAMonth, but just now got to it.

pickThis sequel to The Dire Days of Willowweep Manor was just as ridiculous and just as much fun. Smashing together the Gothic romance atmosphere of Willowweep Manor with Golden Age murder mystery vibes worked for me. While I do think the first book was better, this was still a good read—especially if you enjoy hilarious literary chaos.
I couldn't resist picking this book up when I saw it at my local indie store this weekend.
I've gotten back into the #1001books list a little more consistently, I've read I think 4 in the last few months. I'm using Serial Reader to tackle some - currently it's Erewhon, and honestly I'd be finding it a slog if it weren't for the bite sized installments.
Anyone else reading the #1001books list have recommendations for real gems you've found on the list? The last several I've read have all been fine, but I'm hoping for more than fine.
I could not resist posting this. Laugh out loud funny of course. Warning: #ranttime
