“I disagree. If a feeling knocks and no one answers, it’ll get p[EXPLICIT]d off. It’ll kick the door in, chuck the gift at you and smash your best ornaments so you don’t disrespect it again. You’ll be clearing up a lot more mess than you had to start with. So it’s good, Maxine, to cry if you want. Remember that.”

The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett

March 28, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

I might have to go lower my rating for The Appeal based on how much more I liked this one. The premise is once again based on a unique format; this time instead of being told through emails, we’ve got audio recordings made on an old iPhone 4 by a man just out of an eleven year prison stint. The difference between her first book and this one, aside from being more elaborate, is that here we have characters to emotionally connect to. In The Appeal, the format […]

#LifeGoals #RetirementGoals: The Novel

The Thursday Murder Club (Thursday Murder Club #1) by Richard Osman

March 10, 2023 by Flimflamingo Leave a Comment

Thursday Murder Club is a perfectly suitable novel for someone looking for a fast read that’s funny enough. I picked it up from the new paperback release display at a local bookshop on a lark. It’s a title that’s been read by a few people I know or mentioned in some “currently reading” or “recently read” or maybe even a “recommended read” list or conversation a few times. I had already read the synopsis and thought, Hm. Should maybe try that sometime. and just never really found myself […]

Sorry this isn’t really a review but I’m posting it anyway because I want everyone to read this book.

Make You Mine This Christmas by Lizzie Huxley-Jones

December 31, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Oh you’d best believe i have some quotes to post from this delightful book. But tomorrow bc I’m tired. Okay, it’s tomorrow, here are some quotes. Honestly, the plot in this one is four-star but the writing is what bumped it up to a five for me. This book vibrates at exactly my frequency and thus I am insulted it did not receive a print release and isn’t being widely read. The dialogue in this book made me want to pack up my life and […]

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna

December 31, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

Such a cozy, heartwarming read. I’m so glad I read this, and that I saved it for my Christmas read (even though I barely got any reading done at all on Christmas Eve or Day, because I somehow always forget that my mother does not read and needs to be entertained—anyway we spent all day doing a 1,000 piece Christmas puzzle and then watched Glass Onion, and it was all very good but I wish I could have read more of this book). If you […]

“Sometimes Paris felt his whole life was in slow motion with ominous music playing over it.”

Paris Daillencourt is About to Crumble (Winner Bakes All, #2) by Alexis Hall

December 30, 2022 by narfna 2 Comments

I don’t think this is a book anybody but Alexis Hall could have pulled off. This is a romance and a book about a baking competition, yes, but it’s also a book about a person with severe anxiety, and what that anxiety does to his relationships with the people around him. Paris isn’t an easy character to like, and his story isn’t an easy ride. But it was worth it! Paris Daillencourt ends up on Bake Expectations because his flatmate secretly put him up for […]

“At one point he brushed my hand and there was electricity, but I think that was the combination of the deep carpet outside the restaurant and my new cardigan.”

The Bullet That Missed (The Thursday Murder Club, #3) by Richard Osman

December 13, 2022 by narfna Leave a Comment

I don’t know how much more I can continue to say about these books, as my love for them is not diminishing but only growing, and the books are so consistent with what I love about them, I don’t want to just be saying the same things every time a new one is published. But I guess I’m going to anyway! Sorry. But not really. Our four septuagenarians are still at it, solving murders on Thursdays, and hopefully things have calmed down after the chaos […]
