(It's Greta Garbo in the pic, not me) I read a lot of cozies because I want to write one. I like history and historicals. Gardening... Will try to get better at just mention what I liked about a book and not complain too much.

The Woman in the Window is a thriller novel by American author AJ Finn, published …
I really liked the use of old movies in this one.
A modern retelling of the Jane Austen classic follows the Dashwood sisters--Elinor, Marianne and Margaret--as …
What I like about Jane Austen is that despite writing over 200 years ago I feel I understand the characters, this retelling though... Who are these people? They are like a combination of "Absolutely Fabulous" and some British reality show.
The cover made me think this was YA but it said adult so I read it... and it read like a YA just with a few f*cks in it. Got me a little confused to why this wasn't labled as a YA.
In this generation-defining self-help guide, a superstar blogger cuts through the crap to show us …
How many f*cks were there in this book, did anyone count them?
So, who wants to come with me and visit all of these places?
On the cover it says it's a nail-biter, it is not. My mom liked these books and read all of them... I don't know what it was about them that she liked, we didn't always agree on things.
Also, no spoilers but I was on the killer's side. I would have done the same and I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!
I liked Cecelia Holland and Sharon Kay Penman so I'll add them to the reading list... but where did the theme of dangerous women go? Was it ever there? Oh well, on to the next book.
The great Norse myths, which have inspired so much of modern fiction, are dazzlingly retold …
I never cared about our mythology or really read anything about it. I remember a quick chat in school about Tor and Odin but that's it. Yet I felt like I knew a lot about these stories. Things came to me when I read them. Where did I learn this?
A never ending winter and an army of the dead? Someone else has read these stories... also, winter is coming.
Sue Trinder is an orphan, left as an infant in the care of Mrs. Sucksby, …
Yeah, what could possibly go wrong with an idea like that?
"Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the …
There's a lot of alcohol in this book...
I listened to this as an audiobook and... the poor narrator tried her best I'm sure to do a "Scandinavian" accent but there was nothing Scandinavian about it, it sounded more like The Swedish Chief and it was a little annoying.
Whose Body? is a 1923 mystery novel by Dorothy L. Sayers. It was her debut …
I have a hard time to put away a book I don’t like, to stop reading it feels like admitting defeat. I know that I won’t finish it but I won’t admit it and I try to read, for months, and then I give it up.
We were watching a quiz show my dad and I and he got the question “Who wrote the books about Lord Peter Wimsey?” right and I was pretty impressed by that. Dad said he knew because grandma used to read them. So I wanted to read these books, but I won’t because the first one was putting me to sleep. I would love to have a cup of tea with my grandma and ask her what it is about the books that she likes, maybe she could convince me to give it another try? I wish I had known my grandma better, I wish …

I wish I had known my grandma better, I wish she was still around. I think I would have appreciated her more now when I’m older.
And Then There Were None is the signature novel of Agatha Christie, the most beloved …
I think I would survive on that island...
Is it wrong that I preferred the movie?
The translation was so bad I gave it up, got the feeling they had used google translate at times. Guess I have to learn Portuguese
