Demon Copperhead has been on my physical TBR for ages but I still haven’t got round to it yet. 🤦‍♀️
nor me i am wondering why I ever got sucked into the hype of applying for it on NG because I'm not the biggest fan of Dickens so that combined with the depressing poverty and drug addled Appalachian setting is really not making me want to pick it up

The PWMOV leads were announced this week. It's probably my least fav of her books so I have sort of forgotten the characters and don't know if this is good casting or not 😅
I actually love PWMOV and HATE this casting. It's all wrong, imo. Hoping to be proven wrong, of course, but yeah. Gut feeling is hell to the no.

I've been seeing on booktok that The Works are doing three mystery books for £6, she brought the fourth separately. Are your Works doing it? Would you buy it?

In Singapore we used to have random book vending machines like these and I loved treating myself to one every so often.

I'm reading Katherine Center's The Rom-commers, which is pleasantly ridiculous like the other books I've read of hers. I was ticking along nicely, and then this:

i think she might 🤣 how do editors not pick these things up?!? (though i actually might like “wah-lah!” more, will start using it)

my works does mystery books too! i’ve never bought any because i’m too picky with their romances but it’s a really lovely idea.

I bet she thanks her editor at the end, too.

Wah-lah has a certain panache to it, or "pan-ash" as Katherine Center would probably say.

I’ve just finished Lethal White by Robert Galbraith, I’m enjoying this series so much. Now picking up Anatomy of a Soldier.

Seen plenty of people say "wallah!" online but that's the first I'm seeing it in a published and proof read book 😂

Troubled Blood is next for me @ 1,0000 pages so will probably save it for my next holiday lol
It's a good one though, worth the 1000 pages. I've got the hardbacks for the past couple in the series because I think they're too big for paperback and the paperbacks at that size tend to be a bit floppy and get messed up by me 🤭

Is anyone else going to watch it ends with us 😍 I know Colleen hoover had very mixed opinions on book tok, but that book got me back into reading and I honestly can’t wait to watch it!

I’ve never been able to make it through any Dickens (unless you count A Muppet Christmas Carol!) but still enjoyed Demon Copperhead so I wouldn’t let that bit put you off. The drug addled poverty is pretty spot on though!

Yeah I’m always like “why am I listening to / reading this tit” but then I go straight for another CoHo, so yeah I’m looking forward to it!

Any recommendations for an audiobook that's on Spotify? I've given up on As Good As Dead and until I get a new book to listen to, I'll keep going back to it and being disappointed XD
 
I’m honestly stumped, I asked my other half if we could watch some tv series’ based off books, I literally can’t think of any - help 🙈.
