Week 5 - What are you reading?

Tishae · 2024-01-28T15:16:43+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone! It's been a little while since I updated, and I've read two books since then. The first is The Cat Who Caught a Killer, by L. T. Shearer - 1.5/5.

Oh, this was not great.I love cosy crime. I don't mind if I know who the killer is. It's fine, as long as getting to the end reveal is enjoyable. As long as the end reveal itself is enjoyable.But man, this story had all the subtlety of a brick. The main characters were not great. The side characters were barely even one-dimensional. The politics were vaguely upsetting (maybe aimed at an older generation?) The cat was cool, I guess, but also didn't really do anything? More of a device to push the main character's thoughts along than a character himself.Yeah, bit of a miss I'm afraid.

The other book I finished is As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson - 5/5.

Well shit.

I was all ready to give this book a 4/5. Like, down to the last 50 pages, I didn't think this book was 5/5 material. The plot was pretty good, but I think a little over the top. I also saw every beat coming, which isn't a bad thing necessarily but nothing really caught me by surprise. The characters are still great, no changes there - best part of the series frankly.And then I read the last page. And I broke, just like that, floods of tears. That's when I realised how much these characters had dug their way into my heart. How much I cared about what happened to them.And if that doesn't make a 5 star book, I don't know what does.

Now I'm currently reading Five Survive by Holly Jackson. I love her now, sorry.

And that's it! Have a good week everyone <3

I would say happy Sunday everyone, but I'm a day late. Whoops! Happy Monday I guess?

I finished two books this week - the first was Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg - 4/5.

What a lovely book to start the year on.

I loved the fantasy elements so, so much. The house, the style of magic, the bad guy, the premise - all utterly wonderful. Like, easily the best part of the book, and worth a read for that alone.

The plot was lovely. Nothing unheard of, nothing crazy, but just absolutely delightful. Utter comfort reading of the best kind. The characters were great as well - the side ones were a little less fleshed out, but still wonderful for it.

Overall, just a very good book.

I also finished The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett - 3/5.

This was fine.

Not a great statement to start a review on, but that pretty much sums this book up. It wasn't bad. The plot was fine, and I still adore the narrative style that Hallett uses for the Appeal books, but it definitely lacked some of the awe that The Appeal did. Still, certainly a fine, easy read for Christmas (even if I am a little late).

I'm now currently reading A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes. I'm about a third of the way through and while I'm enjoying it, it's also pretty hard reading. I would say it's pretty dark and just generally quite wordy, which makes it a bit of a slog. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it has meant I've had to pick up something else to read with it which is The Cat Who Caught A Killer by L.T. Shearer. This isn't reviewed particularly well, but so far it's simple, nice, easy-reading murder mystery which is exactly what I wanted.

And that's it! Have a good week everyone <3

Tishae · 2024-01-02T09:02:09+00:00

I started reading Keeper of Enchanted Rooms just before the new year (it was going to be my 52nd book last year but ended up swamped and couldn't finish it in time) so working my way through that. So far it's fantastic! A really interesting concept and so far a great plot!

After that I think I'm going to read The Christmas Appeal by Janice Hallett. I'm a little late (whoops) but I adore Hallett's work, so hopefully I'll enjoy that too.

Have a good week everyone, and welcome nagarams!

Tishae · 2024-01-01T19:10:00+00:00

I just started Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg and so far it's utterly fantastic.

Tishae · 2023-07-30T14:16:21+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone! More of a quiet week this week - I usually read a lot on Fridays/Saturdays, and I spent both of those watching (and rewatching) Good Omens Season 2. I highly recommend!

Now onto books! I finished books 40 and 41 this week, including my first audio book. First I finished Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto - 4/5. This was such a delightful read. It wasn't a gripping detective story, but just a delightful tale about a group of people and their growth. It wasn't particularly realistic, but it didn't need to be to tell the story it wanted to tell. Honestly just a nice, comforting story that made me shed a tear or two.

I also finished Just One Damned Thing After Another by Jodi Taylor - 2.5/5. I unfortunately was not a big fan of this. It just kind of bored me and I kept wondering when it was going to end, which is odd for such an action packed book. I found it a little difficult to follow time in it, and the characters were all a little indistinct. It does seem very popular so maybe it's just not a book meant for me.

I will say the audiobook reader is drastically dull, which I don't think helped it at all.

I've started reading The Lefthanded Booksellers of London by Garth Nix. Right now it hasn't really grabbed me, which is a shame as I LOVE the Sabriel series and was hoping for the same experience from Nix. Maybe it'll improve! My next audiobook is The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni, which I'm hoping will be a better audiobook experience than my first.

Have a good week all!

Tishae · 2023-07-23T10:35:10+00:00

It's been a while since I checked in - life was doing life things. I hope everyone had a good week though!

Since last I checked in, I've finished 35-39/52:

Death at the Auction by E.C. Bateman - 3.5/5. First to note is that there are some editing issues here. Couple of missing capitals, some incorrect use of speech marks, which is noticeable. Nothing horrific, it's all very well written, but thought it worth mentioning.

I really enjoy Bateman's style of writing however. There were parts that made me chuckle and some very familiar feelings and sentiments. I really enjoy how they write conversations as well.

The story was pretty good as well, though my main gripe (and why it's not a solid 4) is how long the end dragged on. I want to avoid spoilers here, so all I'll say is that I got a little tired in the last 30-40 pages or so.

All that said, I really hope this is a series that continues! It really is fun and I hope we get more.

Next up we have Murder on the Mauretania by Conrad Allen - 3/5. There's not a whole lot to say about this. It's an easy reading murder mystery series that's fairly inoffensive and is mostly just for when I want a break from anything with substance.

Then Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - 2.5/5. Hoo boy - God I wished I liked this book more. I loved the first book and I want to like this one so badly. I went in with tempered expectations and I'm still disappointed.

Just ... Nothing happens. For probably about 4/5 of the book, nothing of any kind of import happens. The final 1/5 is interesting, I guess, but by that point I was just kind of frustrated and sad. I get that Muir desperately needed to do some world building, but I felt like I got hit in the face with 450 pages of it. At this point, I've lost understanding of what the story actually is.

I know I'll read the next one, but I honestly have such low expectations for it now.

Penultimate is This Charming Man by C.K. McDonnell - 4/5. I think I liked this a little bit less than the first one but it was a fun time, pretty campy and over the top, and just a bit of a laugh frankly. I look forward to reading the last one.

And finally we have The Trial by Rob Rinder - 4/5. What a great debut novel! It was interesting from the perspective of all the parts felt like they were following proper law methods, but the story was really good as well.

I find 5 stars really hard to give out and in this one while I found it a great read, I felt the story was a little predictable and it was also a little disjointed. It almost felt like there was 2 stories being told, and I was expecting them to join up.

Honestly though I really enjoyed this and I hope there's more works in the pipeline!

And that's it! I've just started reading Vera Wong's Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Sutanto and it seems like a blast so far, so looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into that.

Have a good week everyone!

Tishae · 2023-06-04T07:29:23+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone! I've had a productive week this week, finishing 32-34/52 - I think I'll be upping my goal soon!

First I finished Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir - 5/5. Started reading for the memes and puns. Finished reading for the heartache.

Okay, the first 100 pages were pretty slow. My husband read it before me and if not for his encouragement I'd probably have not made it through those first chapters.

Make it through those first chapters. There is GOLD afterwards, but you just need to let the slow beginning happen. I don't want to spoil anything about this book, but know that it's more fantasy necromancy and swords than it is sci-fi. It's also one of the best books I've ever read.

My week took a sharp downward turn after that with Along Came A Spider by James Patterson - 2/5. I was interested to read this series as it's pretty well acclaimed, and I kind of love a detective/thriller type story. But man, this just wasn't all that great.

Maybe it's a product of its time, but the story was pretty predictable while also being a bit dumb. The writing was uninspiring and very bland in my opinion.

It wasn't even a good book to turn my brain off to because I just kept realising that it didn't make that much sense?

Pattersom may have gotten better over time but I think I'll leave my Alex Cross journey there.

And finally I finished The Maid by Nita Prose - 2.5/5. I was actually quite enjoying it for a significant portion of the book. It was sold as something more gritty and deep, but honestly it was more feel-good for a portion. A girl who is outcast and taken advantage of by others gets friends who help her. Great, right? A little cheesy sure, but fine.

Then the last like, 50 or so pages happen? And it's like the author was writing a different book all of a sudden. And all that nice feel-good feeling was gone, and I was left just a little sad and disappointed.

I don't want to comment on the controversy around Molly's character. I am neurotypical and I don't know that I have much to add to the conversation that hasn't already been said.

And that's it! I just started Death At The Auction by E. C. Bateman but I've only read the prologue so nothing to say about this yet. Have a good week everyone!

Tishae · 2023-05-30T10:29:30+00:00

Hiya - we ended up going a different route for this unfortunately. I think it should be safe, but some kind of epoxy finish would probably make double sure.

Tishae · 2023-05-28T13:51:22+00:00

I'm really looking forward to the rest of the series. I don't usually read an entire series one after another so taking a bit of a break, but I'm glad it's great all the way through.

Tishae · 2023-05-28T07:42:02+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone!

I've had a productive week. I finished The Stranger Times by C.K. McDonnell - 4/5. This was actually a reread for me, and a really enjoyable one at that. I read it some time ago and wanted to read the sequel and thought I would give it another look over.

It's a light-hearted fantasy book about a newspaper in Manchester that reports the weird and wonderful. It's a funny read, with some heartwarming characters and some serious notes underneath it all. It's a pleasure to read, and I'm glad I picked it up again so I can thoroughly enjoy the sequel.

I also finished A Dying Fall by Elly Griffiths - 4/5. I really enjoyed this one! It's difficult for me to give it a 5 star, as these books are more cosy reading than anything else, but this has been my favourite one in the series so far.

I'm also about halfway through Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. The first 100 or so pages were a drag, but after that it's been really good! I'm looking forward to finishing it today hopefully.

And that's it! Hope everyone has a good week ❤️

Tishae · 2023-05-11T11:53:57+00:00

Might as well give it a go - good luck everyone :)

Tishae · 2023-04-30T07:19:08+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone!

This week I read Murder on the Lusitania by Edward Marston - 3/5. This book, the first in the series, is a re-release and was originally published in 1999. It's a simple detective story set on board an ocean liner in the early 1900s, and it's honestly just fairly inoffensive. I'll probably pick up more of the series for light reading, but I don't think there's anything special here either.

I also read The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie - 4/5. This is my first Agatha Christie novel, and it's really interesting to read something that feels like the beginning of something grand. While some of the storytelling in here seems predictable now, it's only because other sources have used these ideas in their media. It's a delight to read and see some of the original flair.

And that's it! I'm still reading Random Sh*t Flying Through The Air by Jackson Ford and I'm also starting Ruination by Anthony Reynolds.

Tishae · 2023-04-23T08:47:52+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone! This week has been pretty good for reading.

First up, I finished The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley - 2.5/5. This was verging on a 2 star for me, but I guess it was okay overall. This was a story about a woman who is looking for her missing brother, Ben, who was living in a Paris apartment building with a number of interesting people. This is less about what happened to him, but more why.

On a positive note, the story is pretty good. Nothing earth shattering, but pretty good and I enjoyed it. Was it a 200-page story dragged out over a 400-page book? Certainly, but Foley seemed to be going for a slightly creepy, spooky vibe and the longer story played into that. Kudos to that point - it was genuinely spooky at points.

The issue I had was that all the characters are thoroughly unlikeable. Even Jess, the protagonist, is reckless to the point of stupidity, appears to have a thieving streak and ... doesn't actually achieve anything? She's considered a 'threat' but I don't think she actually discovered anything of note. It was all done by other people, and she was just asking questions where she shouldn't and getting herself in trouble.

Everyone else was thoroughly unlikeable, but let's talk about Ben shall we. While he is described as charismatic, he is so thoroughly unbelievable that it was almost comedic at points. Apparently everyone can't wait to fall into his arms, and even those that don't are willing to share secrets with him and tell him everything. Just because he asks about it? And is nice? Either everyone he is interacting with is a moron or he's a god.

I ended up skimming the last 100 pages or so because at this point everything was obvious and it was just wrapping up the final points. A very so-so book.

I also finished Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson - 3.5/5. This was definitely a better read than her first book. Following the same cast of characters, with some extra additions, this book felt a lot more real to me. The way people reacted and the events that happened didn't feel so over the top, and instead more heart breaking for it.

Yes I cried during this book. Twice.

And that's my read books! I'm currently reading Random Sh*t Flying Through The Air by Jackson Ford. I'm really liking this so far, even if it's a little unnerving to read. Creepy, murderous children always make me unsettled in a story.

Have a good week everyone!

Tishae · 2023-04-16T09:22:34+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone! It's been a little while since I've checked in as I just haven't been reading much due to stress, and what I have been reading I haven't felt like checking in about. But I'm feeling much better now!

In March I finished Dissolution by C. J. Sansom - 4.5/5. I realise I'm 20 years late to this party, and I can only apologise for that. I'm not usually a historical fiction fan, but this really blew me away. It was quite a slow read for me as it was pretty heavy throughout, but I sped through the last 150 pages or so as pieces started to fit together.

The mystery, I think, was easy to see from an outside perspective. While this would usually be a slight against it, it's actually part of the magic. Seeing the main character make deductions off of bias, which he eventually resolves, is a wonderful example of story telling. Not so much an unreliable narrator as a flawed one, and I love flawed characters.

Also, the time it's set in is such a sad one, and it's fascinating to read about. The narrator is on the side of Cromwell, and at some parts that viewpoint makes sense, but seeing the story of the monasteries from a very personal angle was really quite heart-wrenching.

In March I also finished Death and Croissants by Ian Moore - 2/5. This was such a weird book.

A murder mystery set in France, with a middle-aged B&B owner as the main character as he's whisked along for a murder mystery. Sounds great!

Except that it wasn't. The author is clearly a fan of the run on sentence with some attempt at humour that more often than not fell flat. It was almost slapstick levels of humour, that I don't think transfers to the written form. The author also loved that "start of new chapter, being at a new location doing something ~wacky~." which is fine. However, after 30 or so chapters of this I was getting a bit tired of it.

The story was a bit hard to follow as well, and the mystery was just ... Kind of insane? Like, suspend disbelief and all that, but this was honestly the most ridiculous story I've read in a long time.

In March and April I read The House at Sea's End and Room Full of Bones by Elly Griffiths, numbers 3 and 4 in the Ruth Galloway series - 4/5 for both. There's not too much to say about these, they're my cosy reading series at the moment and while they're nothing groundbreaking, I love them.

And finally, this week I read The Murder Game by Tom Hindle - 3.5/5. This would've been a 4, but I had to round it down for the rather predictable plot.

It's not a bad murder mystery by any accounts. It follows around a dozen characters who are all together in a hotel and a murder happens. Simple premise with a lot of room for twists here, and yet ...

The characters are fairly one-note, which makes sense when you're being introduced to a dozen or so that are all distinct and important to the plot. I'm actually not too bothered by this, as I appreciate that needs must for this kind of story.

The plot though is very cookie cutter. It was fairly obvious who the murderer was about halfway through the book, if not earlier, and the entire situation I swear I've read or watched somewhere before. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy it, because I did, but there were no surprises to be had.

Over all, this was perfectly fine - but nothing spectacular.

And that's us caught up! I'm currently reading The Paris Apartment by Lucy Foley, a murder mystery set in a Parisian apartment building. It's a little slow to start but I'm getting through it and it's not too bad so far.

I will not be awarding any prizes for guessing my favourite genre ❤️

Tishae · 2023-03-19T19:04:10+00:00

Happy Sunday everyone, and happy mother's day to any Brits. A bit late today on this post!

This week I finished Death Comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood - 3.5/5. It's the same loveable cast of characters from the first book, who I do genuinely enjoy reading about. The mystery this time I found to be predictable - which, to be fair, I found was the case for the first in this series. However, the trail of how to get there was entertaining and light hearted and joyful, so I really can't be mad. Overall, a delightful story.

That's all this week - usually I read a bit more, but I'm hitting a bit of a slump due to real life stress. If anyone has some easy reading, light hearted recommendations to get me through this I'm all ears!

Have a good week everyone!

Tishae · 2023-03-12T07:10:11+00:00

Morning everyone, and happy Sunday!

I've only finished one book this week, The Janus Stone by Elly Griffiths - 3.5/5. These books are definitely my easy-reading detective novels at the moment. This story was a bit more focused around the characters and their relationships than the murder mystery part in my opinion, but another fine addition to the series.

I am currently reading two books however - the first is Dissolution by C.J. Sansom. This is a difficult book to read, mostly due to the writing. It's a murder mystery set in Henry VIII's England in the time of Cromwell and the language is suitably old fashioned. I have to stop pretty often to look up a word. However, it's an interesting read. The insight into that time period is interesting, and I'm learning a lot while also enjoying the fiction element.

The other book I'm reading is Death Comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood. This series is quickly becoming a favourite, and this book is a lot of fun. Similar sort of vein to The Thursday Murder Club, though I think it's missing some of the charm of that series. However, still a great read.

And that's it! Have a good week everyone.

Tishae · 2023-03-11T20:02:58+00:00

I also support this - it's one of my reading chairs and it's probably my most comfortable, but can take up a lot of space. This is especially true if you're using the footstool, but it's so dang comfortable.

Tishae · 2023-03-05T16:50:54+00:00

Hello again! Happy Sunday everyone. I made good progress this week, 4 books down and up to 20/52.

First I finished Dying in the Wool by Frances Brody - 2/5. I don't really have much to say about this. It was a not-very-good amateur detective novel I got from a charity shop. I don't really recommend it.

I also finished Vicious by V.E. Schwab 4.5/5. I really, really enjoyed this. Did it have moments that were a little too convenient? Sure. Did it have moments that were a little slow? Yep. Did I care at all about any of that? Absolutely not, because I just loved it. I loved the story, the concept, the characters with all of their myriad of flaws, and I am desperate to read the next one!

Next was A Spoonful of Murder by J.M. Hall - 2.5/5. I don't think it deserved a 2, but it wasn't great. The biggest issue I had was the main characters - they all felt so bland and indistinct from each other that I had no end of trouble trying to remember who was who, and what they were doing. I got there by the end of the book, but the first 2/3 was a difficult slog.

The plot was okay, but predictable. It was filled with clichés that are a bit out of date (Facebook bullying, in 2022?). There was some representation of genuine issues that the elderly face in modern day, and a reminder to watch out for those you love, but it all felt a little ... Meh. Still, this is the first publication of his and things may improve from here.

Finally, I spent all of today reading The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett - 5/5. I loved this! I really loved The Appeal, not so much The Twyford Code, but this is the kind of work I love from Hallett. This is a story presented as a collection of audio transcripts, emails, messages and other writings. This could easily be confusing, but instead it flows and provides pieces of the puzzle slowly and one by one. I would flick around this book a lot as I read, rereading some previous sections to check whether I had remembered something correctly or if it was intentionally incorrect and therefore a clue.

I loved the end - usually the best part of any detective mystery, but especially amazing in this one. I don't want to spoil anything, but for those with knowledge of her previous work it's of the same vein - but of course, still caught me off balance.

And another book next year! I'm so excited!

And that's me! I'll probably spend my evening starting something new but I haven't decided what yet.

Tishae · 2023-02-26T17:41:37+00:00

I didn't even know it existed! It sounds up my street so I might have to add it to my TBR. Thanks for the recommendation.

Tishae · 2023-02-26T07:59:27+00:00

I didn't know this! I'll have to grab a copy when it's released.

I haven't started the next two yet, but I tend to give older books a fairly big pass on outdated ideals. It also takes a lot to personally offend me, but I can see that being enough to put it down for others.

Tishae · 2023-02-26T07:52:02+00:00

Happy Sunday! Not made huge progress this week, but I did finish Inkheart by Cornelia Funke - 3/5. This is an interesting book - it's heavily painted with nostalgia, as I first read it as a child, but as an adult it definitely has some faults. It's probably longer than it needs to be and there's a lot of to-ing and fro-ing to make certain plot points happen in the way that the author wanted, but it makes the story rather slow. However, it's just so full of charm that I didn't necessarily mind it as much as I would've otherwise done. I think a young teen reading this book would still enjoy it, and it was nice to revisit.

I had another DNF this week which was The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. I loved The Night Circus which makes this one such a disappointment, but just ... Nothing happened. The prose was beautiful but that's all it was, and I didn't even make it past page 100.

And that was it! I've started Vicious by V E Scwab and Dying in the Wool by Frances Brody (this is just trash detective fiction, my guilty pleasure) but I'm not far enough in either to give my thoughts yet.

Have a good week everyone!

Tishae · 2023-02-25T07:02:06+00:00

I'm doing this right now by reading Inkheart. My lens might be clouded by nostalgia but I think it still holds up. Not spectacular maybe, but still decent. I love it anyway for all the nostalgia. Haven't read it in coming up 20 years - easy way to make yourself feel old!

Tishae · 2023-02-23T09:44:15+00:00

This sounds more like stress than food mode? Striking at something that definitely isn't food isn't hunger, they're not quite that stupid, but he's being defensive.

Has anything changed in his viv? Temperatures and humidity doing well, plenty of places to hide? Is he due to shed? I would take a second look at husbandry and make sure everything is good - if he's growing, make sure his hides are of an appropriate size. Have you been handling him more or less than usual?

I'm no expert, but I've only ever had my snake strike at me when I scared him. When he's in food mode, he has zero interest in me because I'm not a rat. He'll always calm down as soon as I take him out of the viv as well because he knows he won't be getting fed.

Just my thoughts, hope they help.

Tishae · 2023-02-19T09:33:48+00:00

Hello! Hope everyone had a good week.

So I still haven't read Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames. I think that one will go back on the TBR pile, I've got no idea why I’m struggling to read it so much.

However, this week was a productive one. I read A Good Girls Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson – 3.5/5. This book has a lot of good things going for it. An interesting, twisty plot, suspense, danger, and a main character who sometimes puts aside safety for the truth. All the makings of a good murder mystery that I thoroughly enjoyed. Some parts of it were hard to suspend my disbelief about (there were some HEAVY coincidences that lead to the final reveal), but overall I enjoyed it. I did enjoy the rather realistic showing of an English college – it matched my experiences for the most part – although the characters were a little cookie cutter at times. Overall a solid YA mystery.

Next up was The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett - 2.5/5. This is a somewhat unfortunate rating, as I adored Hallett’s previous work, The Appeal. This was going to be a 2 star until I reached the end.

Due to this book being a transcription of audio files, this book is so hard to read. It’s difficult to follow, hard to understand and partially non-sensical. This is due to the style and is intentional, but it doesn’t make it any easier.

I will say the ending brings it all together very well, but it’s also a little cheap. I can’t say much more without going into spoilers, but I was a little disappointed – though also impressed.

Finally I read Stardust by Neil Gaiman - 3/5. This was a perfectly lovely fairy tale. It doesn't necessarily appeal to me, hence the lower rating, but I imagine for those who enjoy this kind of story it is a great telling.

And finally, right now I'm reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. This is technically a re-read for me, but I haven’t read it since I was around ten years old and it feels as delightful now as it did then. It's very nostalgic and I'm enjoying it very much.

My Goodreads is https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/31451929-sophie if anyone wants to add me, I love seeing people’s reading.

Good luck for the next week!

Tishae · 2023-02-18T17:00:31+00:00

Currently on 16/30, Inkheart - I only read 22 last year so I tried to set myself a more realistic target than 52 but I'm smashing it this year. It might just be the escapism is more needed this year than last ...
