Role Play by Clara Drummond, Daniel Hahn (Translator)

I got this book at the Burton Barr library when Mom, Ale, and I went to do my birthday activities. I was browsing the new book section while Ale and Mom were browsing the large print section for a thin book that Mom liked. I liked that this book was thin and I thought that the story was interesting. I never read a book that was set in Brazil before. I think it’s quite interesting so far.

“I don’t know whether the obligatory love between family members is worth as much as genuine love, but what is that real love, anyway? …” (45).

* I also realized that the book cover has a similar symbol to the Brazilian flag.

I liked what was said at 12:20. A little before the timecode and beyond this timecode lots of thought-provoking things!

Review: Lucky Vampire

Lucky Vampire by Selina Coffey
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I finished listening to this eAudiobook on Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 10:19 a.m. It was auto-narrated using google technology and I remember why I dislike these type of eAudiobooks. There were unnecessary pauses and skips.

Lucky Vampire: Vampire Romance Short Story by Selina Coffey (Goodreads Author)

This was a very short eAudiobook. I finished it in one walking session. This was an eAudiobook that I listened to while I went for walks, by the way.

Kill Joy by Holly Jackson

I finished reading this book on Monday, October 14, 2024 at 2:33 p.m. I thought that there would be a real death, but it was all a parlor game.

Kill Joy (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, #0.5) by Holly Jackson (Goodreads Author)

I saw that this was one of the thinnest books in the Velma Teague library. It was in the teen section. I mainly got it because it was so thin. This book was a part of my October reading list and it was my daily morning read.

“Pip wasted no time writing her name on the first page of her notebook and started taking notes. Not that she cared—it was just a game—but she hated the sight of an underused notebook” (16).

Same, Pip!

* By the end of chapter ten I got scared when Pip went into the basement! So scary! The only thing that I’m confused about is how Jamie turned off the power box when he was in the dining room.

The Pumpkin Spice Café (Dream Harbor, #1) by Laurie Gilmore, Regina Reagan (Narrator)

I saw this book at Sam's Club on Thursday, September 12, 2024. I was immediately drawn to the book cover because of course it is Pumpkin Spice season! I read the blurb and took a pic of it to check out later. I think it was a great read for the season.

I listened to it on Hoopla while I worked. It was part of my October Reads.

This plot-line is very predictable and very much inspired by Gilmore Girls indeed.

All of the cozy mysteries that I've been listening to makes me think they might all be Lifetime movie inspired.
