Lucky Day | Chuck Tingle

pick

This is a fantastically insane book. One day tons of people die in weird ways; think fish falling from the sky & chip with a typewriter. Vera is a statistician who thinks she loses everything that day and just wants to give up but four years later Agent Layne recruits her to try to help solve the mystery of the Low Probability Event 💚

The Turn of the Key | Ruth Ware

This one landed as a soft pick. It kept me glued to the pages while I was reading it, but I felt a little let down by the ending. This seems to be a common theme for me with this author.

This one is on its way to you @bookandbedandtea !! And @Jerdencon - I received Her Every Fear this week!! #TravelingThrills

TheAromaofBooks @Bookwormjillk - I have always been the apple girl, even when I was little 😂 It's probably somewhat inevitable that I ended up working at an orchard! 5d

Tales of the Alhambra | Washington Irving

pick

One of my goals for October is to get back into posting regular reviews!! I started this one in September as a #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead – I had never really heard of it before and wasn‘t sure what to expect. Irving recounts a trip to Spain, where he spends several weeks living in the semi-ruined palace of Alhambra, just outside Granada. While parts of this book bog down with Irving‘s enthusiastic historical facts (apparently he was there to ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) research for a nonfiction book he was writing), Irving himself comes through as incredibly likable. He is absolutely in love with where he is and the people who live there and all the history. This book is random anecdotes from his time there, and various legends he heard as well. While most of the stories are Moors/Muslims vs Christians, I never felt like he was creating a good vs bad dichotomy. Instead, he writes with respect and ⬇ 7d

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) interest about everyone. He never sounds superior or snobbish (his chapter about scaring himself by purposefully staying in a more “haunted“ area of the castle was delightful), but keeps his writing warm and friendly. While parts of this book were slow, I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

BarbaraJean I completely agree with all of this!! His tone throughout was a delight—I think I‘d enjoy Irving as a travel buddy! 6d

mabell Oh my goodness, I had no idea this existed!!! I absolutely want to read this! I loved Irving‘s Old Christmas, and I love the Alhambra, so this sounds fabulous! 6d

TheAromaofBooks @mabell - I went into it with absolutely no knowledge of the Alhambra, so I would think that if you know anything about it, your reading would be even more enhanced. Irving is absolutely IN LOVE with the place, and that affection really comes through in his writing. I definitely recommend it!! 6d

TheAromaofBooks @BarbaraJean - So many of those older travel books (and even many modern ones!) are just... smug little comments about how inferior other places are from “home“ or completely lacking in any kind of appreciation for the culture and history of the place they're visiting. Irving's writing was so refreshing and enthusiastic. And the legends were great fun as well!! 6d

Cuilin I‘ve never heard of this, but your review has me intrigued. 6d

julieclair Great review! I agree that Irving came off as very likeable and not snobby. 5d

Someone in the House | Barbara Michaels

This is good but it's also a rather convoluted ghost story. Anne gets invited to her work friend's parents' mansion for the summer but weird things keep happening.
