Very belated check in, finished this over a week ago, good fun but very "Bob", not sure I'll carry on with the rest.

Liked it enough, but I don't think horror's my vibe. Will give it another go in the new year.

💙📚 Book 49 of 2025: The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ii can't pinpoint why I didn't like this one as much as A House with Good Bones, but something left me unsatisfied with it. Still enjoyed it though, one more to go!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Very similar to Thursday Murder Club in style, but think I preferred TMC overall. Still very good though! Looking forward to TMC5 later this year.

💙📚 Book 47 of 2025: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Bought on @becadreads.bsky.social's recommendation (admittedly months ago) and didn't disappoint. Great pacing and twists, thought the flashback elements really fleshed out the story as well as the main character.

💙📚 Book 46 of 2025: A House with Good Bones by T. Kingfisher
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Had to squeeze in a horror read for October, found that much easier to read after a very in-depth fantasy. Taking a few paperbacks with me for a week away next but will do the other two accompanying Evernight editions on my return!

Elite, top tier fantasy. Brilliant characters, great setting, wonderfully built world, just a genuine 10/10. Go read it. Need to pick up the sequels in the new year.

I'm still alive! I'm still reading The Lies of Locke Lamora (100% the longest its taken me to read a 5⭐️, its honestly elite), here's two new books I bought to prove I'm still going!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Have to say, I don't think I enjoyed it as much as the first two, but I think that's just life's fault for being busy and taking ages to read it as a result 😅 fun end to the series nonetheless, keen to see what Mai writes next!

💙📚 Book 43 of 2025: Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Had fun with this, I liked a lot of the world ideas more than the plot itself, so hoping the sequel (which I'll now have to get on with buying) picks up more of the bits I enjoyed from this one.

Book 42 of 2025: Murder Mindfully by Karsten Dusse
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
Absolutely loved this and it genuinely had some good tips (on mindfulness not murder). I don't know if there's a sequel planned - or already released - but I'd love there to be more. Great as a self-contained story though.

Who would have ever guessed that I didn't end up sticking to the plan?
Pre-emptive September plan!
- Finish whichever of my two paperbacks I choose on holiday
- Maybe the other one time dependent
- Blood of Hercules before the sequel releases
- Three Shattered Souls
- Let's say The Martian again

July Reading Round Up 📚💙
Severely slowed by Clytemnestra (RIP daily streak in the 60s) but a great five star read this month.
August Plan I Won't Stick To:
- More Sam Holland
- The Martian
- At least one of the (I think) 10 books i have due this month 😅
- Maybe finally The Library Trilogy

💙📚 Book 41 of 2025: Bat Eater by Kylie Lee Baker
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Enjoyed this one a lot! Pandemic literature seems very hit or miss depending on the approach but thought it really helped set the tone for this whilst exploring a very real problem that stemmed from it.
