I’ve got to read Crime and Poetry 💜 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle ! I loved this book so much. It was a whirlwind for sure! Chile that bathtub scene 🫣👀👀🤢I’m so glad you loved it!!🔥 5:53 you preached the Benedict Option! 💯🔥🔥*adds to TBR ✅* Your thoughts encouraged me so much!
I am SO turned on to Stuart Turton's books now!!! Definitely want to read The Last Murder at the End of the World because of how much you raved about it on your channel girl 🥰 and that Evelyn Hardcastle book DELIVERED. One of my favorites for the year for sure!!!
@@LexiBetweenTheLines The Last Murder at the end of the world so good! 👏🏾🔥I’m here if you want to chat about it! I needed a support system reading it. So wild 😂😂🔥
Ooh yes that sounds like a blast! I am getting into more now too as I dive back into the genre. Is there one on your TBR you’ve been wanting to try? I have 3 im going to have people vote between soon 😁
@@LexiBetweenTheLines I'm good with anything, I'm pretty new to the genre. I'm pretty busy this month with reading, but we can buddy read next month if you want to
@@paperbacksandponytailsI would LOVE to buddy read with you once you’re freed up to try a new Cozy Mystery! Maybe we could try Apple Cider Slaying by Julie Anne Lindsey? I believe it has Christmasy vibes so it could be fun for the holidays. I know a lot of people here on BookTube seem to love that one. Let me know if that one or a different one sounds fun!
I love Amanda flower’s Amish candy shop series so I almost read this series too since I ran out to those. But frankly, the idea that grandma tricked her in to going takes the enjoyment out of it for me. I don’t like manipulation like that and find it infuriating that she gets away with it. It’s a plot device I don’t enjoy. When people trick you by lying or omitting information to suit their purpose. It’s too bad too because a magic bookshop sounds fun. But I know myself and that will make me dislike grandma from day one and I can’t get past it. I’d have walked out and let her wallow in guilt. And story would be over.
That’s a great point. At first I was like whaaaat why’d she lie? Then after a while Grandma Daisy won me over 😂 I could see later on why it happened the way it did. In other cases I wouldn’t have liked that detail at all, but as I got farther in the book other things made it make a bit more sense. But I could totally see not wanting to continue over something like that. I think it really depends on how it’s handled in the book 🤷🏼♀️ but I agree, straight up manipulation is not cool.
I just don’t think I could get past it. I read a Nicole Deese book where a grandma tricked her granddaughter in to coming home by telling her about raising money for a sick kid. That was true but she was matchmaking cause the kid was the niece of the guy she wanted to set her up with. And I just kept getting angrier and angrier the more the granddaughter kept letting her off the hook! Most people find that cute but I don’t.

Highly recommend if you love twisty mysteries! It was so interesting and kept me turning those pages.

@@Readingindarknesss very fair point! I’m in agreement with you there.
