Still great, having a reread as I haven’t read the prequels yet and want to get to them 🙏🏻

I do enjoy a quick read - finished this one in less than 24 hours. A quirky little why-dunnit which was a tad predictable but ultimately satisfying.

What a beautiful book, really interesting to get a glance into a religion a lot of people seem to think is a bit of a joke but has such terrible impact on the people affected. Looking forward to our book club discussion on this one.

I enjoyed this one but wasn’t my favourite SAC I’ve read. Some of the dialogue and action were a bit far fetched but overall it was a fun read.

I spent this whole book waiting for a real gut punch that just never came. Also why were the letters not even introduced until like page 240?!

This was not as good as Iron Widow. Pacing was off and felt a little preachy at times. I still had a good time - maybe expectations were too high after the long wait for release 🥲

Lone Women by Victor LaValle - Audible
I don't know why but as soon as the central mystery was somewhat revealed I completely lost interest in this book. It's well written I think I just don't like horror as a book genre (especially not for audio).
Not a bad book just not for me.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The conflict felt a bit forced at times but overall I really enjoyed this - a fun read with some truly devastating moments which seems to be this author’s style. I greatly enjoyed Last One at the Party last year too.

Want to read more physical books in 2025 and be less reliant on Mr Bezos’ empire.
Here’s my little haul from my hometown independent bookseller today 🙏🏻
My partner made me buy 1984 because he was appalled I hadn’t read it yet 🙈
