Friday
Change of plan for my readathon book for Sarah's (The Bookish Knitter) three-day readathon with the prompt of being published in 2022.
I'm such a mood reader. I wasn't in the mood to read a fantasy it looks like. So after looking at the books I had, I'm going with:
THE WOMAN IN THE LIBRARY by Sulari Gentill. Standalone.
The tranquility is shattered by a woman's terrified scream. Security guards take charge immediately, instructing everyone inside to stay put until the threat is identified and contained. While they wait for the all-clear, four strangers, who'd happened to sit at the same table, pass the time in conversation and friendships are struck. Each has his or her own reasons for being in the reading room that morning—it just happens that one is a murderer.
Published 2022; 292 pages.
The reading sprint book I'm going with for that group which is a scavenger-hunt with a cover featuring "weather" is A DARK AND STORMY MURDER by Julia Buckley. 1st of 5 in series featuring Lena London, a recent graduate with a giant loan, working for Camilla
Graham, a famous writer of Gothic Suspense novels, in Blue Lake,
Indiana, in the Writer’s Apprentice mysteries.
Camilla Graham’s bestselling suspense novels inspired Lena London to become a writer, so when she lands a job as Camilla’s new assistant, she can’t believe her luck. Not only will she help her idol craft an enchanting new mystery, she’ll get to live rent-free in Camilla’s gorgeous Victorian home in the quaint town of Blue Lake, Indiana. But Lena’s fortune soon changes for the worse. First, she lands in the center of small town gossip for befriending the local recluse. Then, she stumbles across one thing that a Camilla Graham novel is never without—a dead body, found on her new boss’s lakefront property. Now Lena must take a page out of one of Camilla’s books to hunt down clues in a real crime that seems to be connected to the novelist’s mysterious estate—before the killer writes them both out of the story for good...
Published 2016; 301 pages.
So my plan this weekend is to make the Chex Mix or Ranch nuts tonight for the party. Put the patterns for everyone in the plastic protectors tonight. Go to the party tomorrow and not get mad that so few attended.
And read.
Have a good weekend
Much love,
