This week's theme: ONE-WORD REVIEWS FOR THE LAST 10 BOOKS I READ. Only my list is just 5 books this week...October was a rough reading month with lots of DNFs and so-so reads. But I liked most of these:
The Monk by Tim Sullivan: irresistible
Murder on Threadneedle Street by Andrea Penrose: immersive
I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie by Jaclyn Smith: nostalgic
Well Versed by Jen DeLuca: disappointing
The Bloodied Client by Peter Kirkland: compelling
Until next time... Happy Reading!
Sorry to hear Well Versed was disappointing! The Monk looks good😁
ReplyDeleteI hadn't come across the Jaclyn Smith memoir before. I'm sure it's very nostalgic! Too bad you felt Well Versed was disappointing. I liked it a lot (and was so happy to be back in the Ren Faire setting)
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite topics and you've got some great books. I really need to get back to that Andrea Penrose series. I really liked what I read so far. Too bad about Well Versed but I guess every book can't be a winner.
ReplyDeleteNostalgic has been a popular word this week.
ReplyDeleteQuite the mixed bag in October. Hopefully you've got some better titles on your stack for the month ahead!
ReplyDeleteI've not read any of these, Lark, but I'm hearing such good things about those Tim Sullivan books. Planning on trying them - probably in 2027. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize that Jaclyn Smith had written a memoir!!
ReplyDeleteThese are great words! I had a disappointing one or three or more as well, LOL!
ReplyDeleteI hope that November is better to you.

I didn't know Jaclyn Smith had written a memoir! I used to love watching her on Charlie's Angels. Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteSad about the Jen DeLuca - looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteHopefully November will be a better month of reading. I had a couple so-so ones in October too.
