I've still not finished Finale by Stephanie Garber, think its because its signed so I dont want to risk damage. I saw the whole series on kindle is 99p so might just buy it.
Last book I read was In Her Eyes by Sarah Alderson. I really enjoyed it though 1 of the twists I guessed.
And i've just started Three Dark Crowns. Then in the 99p Kindle section I bought Kingdom of the Feared & Fire which is book 2 in the Graceling series.

I use GoodReads but now wondering if I should look into Storygraph 🤔
I’ve always used Goodreads for keeping track of what I read, mainly because it’s linked to my Kindle and I read almost exclusively on that, but I have just started using StoryGraph too based on recommendations here. I’m really linking it so far, much more interesting that just a list of books so think I’ll be sticking with it.

I’m the same. Goodreads is instant update so it’s just handier. But I love all the little extras on StoryGraph. Just gotta get into habit of actually updating it.

I like using both too. They're both good in their own ways. I like the graphs on storygraph but I find I can't be bothered to add anything to my tbr on there like I do on Goodreads.

I'm 90% through The Sleeping and The Dead. Seen some reviews about readers being left with unanswered questions which makes me worry but I've enjoyed what I've read so far. As of right now, I'd recommend it
Update: I've finished the book. I know what other reviews meant about unanswered questions now! The ending felt rushed to me and just kinda slapped together. I think I'd say still give it a go @Marylou but I only rated it 3 stars. It was okay.

I don't think I'll bother with them tbh. When I read that the author writes for the Vera programme I wasn't keen and I already have so many decent books lined up on my kindle.

Edited to add **thank you***

I don't know if this is a thing everywhere but I'd never seen it before but I went to a Waterstones with a cocktail happy hour! It's my dream place!

That sounds like absolute perfection! :love:
I don't think I explained it very well in my excitement to share 🤣

But it's the normal cafe where you can get get food, soft drinks etc but they also do cocktails and happy hour (3 hours of it!) 4 nights a week.

I like to go out and I like cocktails but I don't like noisy, over crowded bars anymore so this is perfect - flicking through books, with an espresso martini, and home at a reasonable hour.

That's such a lovely set up! (Also I can't be the only one thinking it'd be an excellent first date spot too, not too loud, surrounded by books :love:...)

I've just finished Evidence of the affair by TJR, my first ever read of theirs.

I really enjoyed it. So much story captured in such a short book.

I read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and really enjoyed it. Then I read Daisy Jones and The Six and hated it 🫠 Any suggestions for another TJR book I might like?

I’ll give them a go, thanks! I read the blurb of Seven Husbands and didn’t expect to like it but was pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed Daisy and the six but that's the only book I've read of TJR so far, excited to read the others now.

I really enjoyed Maybe in another life. A sliding doors type novel.
