THE WONDERFUL -
There are 8 books in this series so far and it fits Prompt 42: Includes a handwritten interior font (in my liberal non-literal interpretation of the prompts)
I enjoyed this series so much (5 stars!) and really wish there were more to read. Clever, thought provoking, both endearing and appalling characters plus more.
THE VERY GOOD -
Prompt 18: Provokes strong emotion
4 stars. I read this as part of my exploration of the Golden Age Detectives and the Queens of Crime. It made me rather dreading how the murder would happen and who was responsible.
THE MEDIOCRE -
Prompt 20: Day of the Week in the Title - 2.5 stars
THE WASTE OF TIME -
Prompt 29: Set in the Arctic or Antarctic - 1 star
I really enjoyed her previous book - "How the Penguins Saved Veronica" but this sequel was a waste of time in my opinion.
I just read the first book of a trilogy called The Mender, and I am interested just enough to read the next two. But my goodness the beginning was a slog. Usually I give up on books like that, but it was chosen for book club, so...
ReplyDeleteI just looked up The Mender - not my cup of tea but I applaud you finishing it! My favorite book club was filled with people who were quite willing to stop reading the assigned book and explain why. Led to some lively discussions.
DeleteI always find your reviews thought provoking.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
What a nice thing to hear.
DeleteOooooo...the Emma M Lion ones are available through Kindle Unlimited. Will be testing the waters soon.
ReplyDeleteHope you like them!
DeleteI can often judge a book initially by its cover and of the 4 books you have shared, I like the cover of the penguin waste of time the best!! Ha!! But I have pinned the first one to consider for my book club's March read. It sounds very good and has excellent reviews. We are currently reading The Secret Book Society and it is a well written reminder of how very limited the lives of women were not so long ago.
ReplyDeleteI had to go back and look at the covers lol! I didn't think they would be as boring as they were.
