Couldn’t find book 3 casually, so back to Poirot. Oops, read this one before i realized quickly.

Miss Marple, book 2. There’s a reason Agatha Christie is considered one of the best.

I’ve never read any Miss Marple before, so I started at the beginning. I liked it.

‘s a happy ending, but i don’t feel like they earned it. By the end, i wasn’t sure i wanted a happy ending. And her lifelong goal of running a magic tea shop is hidden in the middle of nowhere , behind wards that hide the place? And that’s a win? So many logical issues.

Well, that was disappointing. I was good with the first 80%. It was a little poetical for me, and the ‘love story’ was I don’t know, obvious, overly direct, no question to it? The two big twists were well foreshadowed. But the final, euphoric protagonist revelation of her

says they he’s in the wrong and the mind bending they do to him is somehow right? Because he rightfully suspected them of committing crimes? I went from enjoying this one more than her second novel (though the magic system was poorly defined) to every but as disapointed. There

own strength was just ludicrous. She’s finds the strength to grow and be confident when she is forced to confront the man who her family and friends have kidnapped, terrified, beaten and robbed? By most definitions he would be the victim, but protagonist centered morality

Classic Hercule Poirot. Good stuff. I really need to work my way through these and then watch the tv version.

@TiredActor What?!

I am no longer tired!

There’s a reason Agatha Christie is so revered. Good stuff, if very different for this one. I basically called only one part, even forewarned.

I finally finished a P2E Remastered book. They are full of options.

Yes, again. I think the is the first read through which left me wondering if Cavendish knew/cared for someone on the Perilous. The first tunnels attack always struck me as odd, this is the first time i have a thought as to why.

They made a joke about 17 years of archives. Lol, we’re closing on 30 now? These come out slow these days, but man i still love them. Great job with the nob-linear story telling. This book did it right.

Finally read it. I think having to use the iconics rather than her own characters damaged the story, also the need to return to non-mythic status quo. The combats didn’t feel Pathfindery either, not even 2E. Good fluff and Lore. I liked the presumed module hooks. Decent.

Hannah, why would you be worried Norman would like Bev? Do you remember what she did to him? It was all but evil. Wacky story elements in this one. Still fun. Though who has a three story hotel with a restaurant and a penthouse?

I liked this way more than L&L. I still don’t like the lack of verisimilitude and knowledge of the world. It feels either underdeveloped or “trust me bro” (the greatsword is magic?). Characters were better, minus the lame epilogue. Definitely better than the previous.

The return of Robin, and the ‘onscreen’ debut of Barron. Was his name Barron or am I misremembering. I really expected him to be more relevant. Solid entry in the series.

hero characters these days. And super rich protagonists in a story about Librarians? Really? There’s some nonsense, but it’s mostly fairplay. I enjoyed it.

Good, skilled writing. It makes you want to continue reading. Over reliance on the back and forth on time frame. The diversity feels a little forced. It manages to make the massive contrived coincidences that drive the story make sense, barely. I don’t really need super rich

Audiobook continuation of my ‘reread’. Aurora Teagarden definitely does not write cozies. Some of the subject matter, wow. I still like them.
