I agree. I think it might be animal blood and being used for intimation
Hahahahahaha
Ok okkkkkkk I won’t. I finished the other book I was reading alongside it and didn’t know what to start next so it’s been much more tempting. But found a Christmas novella to read. also still no idea where it’s going to go in 25 days I have zero idea how Adam is still alive though! Where are the girls? So many questions!!!
I have no regrets
I'm actually enjoying the spoilers more than I enjoyed the book, reading what you think could be happening, when I know exactly what happens!
Ordered this today. Anyone read it?
As a side note I've also been reading a two of Jane Harper's books. She wrote The Dry several years ago. Her books are set in Australia and not in the least bit Christmassy, but they are flipping brilliant and forgot what a great writer she is Highly recommend.

The Book Club thread are reading this just now but I’ve not started it yet.
As said above, it’s our book club pick this month! You’re not too late to join us if you wish. I’m about halfway through and I’m really enjoying it.
Book Club #3 Reading is life
I've bought it too. I really do wish the deals would say an expiry date so you can plan to buy before it times out. I find Amazon books pages a bit 'all over the place'. There's 99p deals, then some a pound, some on read for free with Prime then some on Kindle Unlimited etc. Confuses me, anyway 😅

Second this, Jane Harper books are so good!
Well that took a turn! It feels so much darker all of a sudden and the threat seems so much more intense.
I am really hoping it’s just animal blood but I can’t stop picturing him stamping on the girls’ heads or something.

Me, who is behind with 25 Days, trying to resist looking at the spoilers
Hoping to catch up in the next couple of days!

On your recommendation @Chocolategoggler I got this book from the Works this afternoon but I won't be reading it until July as I have to read all 12 books from the Shipyard Girls first. I have to say even my Mum has said that the book looks interesting and I wouldn't be surprised if she read it as well.
Yes! Absolutely loved it! I’m jealous you’re reading it haha
I've finished it now. I've been on a marathon read this last 3 weeks to get through the books from the library. Some recommended, and some chosen from the ones they torment you with on the front of the library page. I think I chose this one from the library page, thinking it sounded interesting and the book looked a bit anonymous, so I'd be safe in that no one else would be reading it. Wrong!!!!! I couldn't renew it as there's a bloomin' queue for it and all the others I'd taken out, and as you know from previous posts they all arrived at once at the library, rather than in the usual dribs and drabs.
So I have a new resolution now (yes I know it's not January yet!) I'm not allowing myself to have a lot of books on hold from now on. I'll be reading all the books I've bought on Tattle recommendation, and those I've bought from World of Books and Amazon, after being told you can get books you couldn't afford when you were younger, so I'll read that pile too.
Then hopefully I can return to the ladylike person I used to be rather than the tired, jumpy nutcase I'm presenting as at the moment, putting my foot in it left, right and centre as I don't appear to have any filter at the moment.
But getting back to the book I found it a lovely calming read which flowed easily so it's not been a chore to read. Just the kind of book I need at this time of year.

Just realised that I have one more book to complete to reach my Goodreads target and then I feel like I have free reign somehow, could pick a 1,000 page book, could pick anything I want 
why do I feel tied to the silly target that I set myself?!
why do I feel tied to the silly target that I set myself?!Just checked and it says I've read 152 books this year!
I don't want to be on that treadmill next year so I'm aiming to read less books!
But there have been some amazing books that I would have never picked up off my own bat.
My favourite book visually was the The Sunset Years of Agnes Sharp by Leonie Swann with the tortoise up the side of it.
I don't think I'd could pinpoint my favourite book of the year. I narrowed it down ruthlessly to about 50.
So I have a list ready now for when friends or family moan I'm so hard to buy for - I'll give them the list!
I’m the same, reached my first target so upped it, have got to that now so feel it’s a good time to pick up a 1,000 page Strike book. Plus I know I’ll want to beat this years number next year so don’t want to overachieve too much.. I’m ridiculous 🫣Just realised that I have one more book to complete to reach my Goodreads target and then I feel like I have free reign somehow, could pick a 1,000 page book, could pick anything I want
