All solid options. What do you think of demon copperhead?

It was - shocking. In an eye opening way.

I had a hard time with the cadence of the first person writing but the content really made me think

She’s such a great writer. It hit me hard.

Yes. I had no idea. Well, I kinda did? But this was very real

How do you make a graph like that or the calendar version? I don’t find how to do it on Storygraph :thinking:

I use Bookmory for the calendar version.

On Storygraph:
Pie chart icon
Pick a month
Click “view month wrap-up graphics”
Wait for it to generate
Click the dropdown menu that says “summary” for options including calendar

Thank you! It worked!

I read 2 times « La forêt des ombres »
I think in order to really appreciate a thriller I need to read it more than once. The first time I anticipate the punch and I read fast. The second time I can take my time, and pick up the hints that leads to the punch.

About the midnight feast: I liked it, but I found that the story was almost a copypaste of the guest list by the same author

How did you like ten thousand doors?
I loved it.

I just finished Ali Hazelwood’s Bride and it surprised me, in a good way.

OMG I loved it. Alix E. Harrow is officially an auto-buy author for me. In fact, I just bought her new short story.

Slower month this month, but I loved all three.

Onyx storm is not normally my genre but it was fantastic, and also the ending, WTF

Amina Al Sirafi also not my normal book - but great. I ended up with both a audiobook and e book, so I flipped between listening and reading

The Lies we leave behind was a WW2 historical fiction and if I have a ‘type’ that’s it.

I really loved A Garden Against Time. Also Good Night Gorilla and Tarot for Baby lol.

Good night gorilla! My friend who is a zoo vet came over and read it to Bernito, and gave her professional opinion on all of the animals. Now I can’t read it without thinking “armadillos frequently have leprosy” so I have passed this info on to you, sorry.

My month! Also a slower reading month for me. Family Meal was an elite reading experience: I started reading it when I sat down on a flight, and finished it when we were taxiing.

I’m still slowly reading The Last Samurai, and picked up Jhereg for my straight book club.

I am rereading the middle books of Jhereg series (Orca, Dragon, Issola, Dzur) to try for the final third again and remind me what is going on, and I had forgotten how incredibly non linear everything in the series is.

will be interesting to hear what you think of it
