Being ill ain‘t cool …
But I‘ve been diligent today and even did paperwork that came yesterday and of which I knew I had to do it soon but at the same time didn‘t want to because I knew it wouldn‘t be a sure-fire success.
Now that it‘s completed I take some rest with tea 🍵 and book 📖 on my sunny ☀️ balcony. I‘m both, a bit proud of having gotten it done already and a bit strung out. But hey, I‘m ill, so I shouldn‘t be too astonished.
I'm not called Eric but just opened my new book and Luca Veste has signed it so I'm having that! ❤❤❤
Can't believe someone would give a signed book away😲
Nearly halfway through.
I still like it. Interestingly told with changes of perspective in “the right places”.
But, uh-oh, brutal again on page 253 ✂️.
Might also be I turn more and more to jelly the older I get. 🤷🏽♀️
Concise illustration of some parts of my yesterday. *sigh*
I told the doctor: “I assume I have this and that.” She glanced at the laboratory findings 🔬 and was like: “Yeah, jackpot 🎰. Take this prescription and come back in a week.”
So, here I am – written off sick again. 🤷🏽♀️
Not nice – but thank you for your comfort @Amiable and @DaveGreen7777 ‼️
I figured out the twist shock ending of this book in no time flat. Maybe because of that I just never really connected to this story. If you love domestic thrillers then maybe you will have better luck than l did.
Burke hated looking directly in someone‘s eyes but this time he forced himself to. “I just want to be left alone”, he explained. “I don‘t want to think about if I insult someone when I open my mouth. I don‘t want to constantly analyse others or copy their behaviour to not stand out. My world is wonderful and fascinating. Yours is broken and terrifying. Which one would you choose?” (p. 162)
⬆️⬆️⬆️ I can feel him so well, I sometimes feel alike.
Burke rolled his eyes. “[I took the video] From YouTube. But that doesn‘t matter. Just watch it. I have already seen it and now I gotta go pee before I will cause a floatation here.” He turned round and left through the back door. Doing so, he prodded Loria and said: “Sorry, sometimes I‘m really clumsy.” (p. 154)
⬆️⬆️⬆️ Okay guys, already caught by the story and its and humour again. Which only took less than seven pages.
Coming back to this one.
I remember I was disappointed when I had to put it aside because it meanwhile definitely aroused my interest. But now I‘m just picking it up again because I want to finish it so that I can start one of the treasures I “hunted” Saturday and Monday … 😇
Would only be fair towards the book if I come to terms with its story again fast to be gripped again.
