TGIF! (10/15)

[ufcasey]

What have you read this week? Any reviews/ratings/recommendations?

QOTW:
Tell a good dad joke! Example: What's the worst thing about eating a clock? It's time consuming.

[travella]

I finished The Woman with the Blue Star by Pam Jenoff,2* I don't think Jenoff is an author that works for me.
and
The Stolen Hours by Allen Eskens, 4*.
I just picked up The Day the World Came to Town by Jim Defede to read next.

QOTW: I saw an old guy fall into a well today! I guess he couldn't see that well.

[charlatti]

Just started the Louise Penny/Hilary Clinton book, State of Terror. It’s a pretty good thriller so far.

QOTW: Why was 8 afraid of 7? Because 7 8 9!

[Vespasia]

I'm also reading State of Terror. It's definitely good and I am enjoying all the references to the horrible previous president that is clearly based on Trump. Plus a dig at Putin.


ETA: I'm also amused because I share a not terribly common last name with one of the characters.


QOTW: What do you get from a pampered cow? Spoiled milk!

QOTW:

This one is from my husband’s grandfather. When he was in the hospital, a nurse came in and asked if he was comfortable. He said “Well, I make a living”.

I have read this week:


The Rose Code by Kate Quinn - 4*, really enjoyed this though I thought the part relating to the title was the least interesting part of the book

State of Terror - 3*, just finished today and only thought it was ok. I really like Louise Penny's "cozy mystery" type series because the characters are so interesting and realistic, which I can't really say about this book. The plot was well paced and realistic but I actually really didn't enjoy the character that was an obvious stand in for Trump, because ugh, don't need that reminder. But that could be just me.

QOTW:
What does a chicken say when he sees lettuce? Chicken sees a salad.

[meowmaps]

I read Black Girls Must Die Exhausted. I really liked it and look forward to reading the follow-up when it comes out next year.

QOTW: This is one of my dad’s favorites:

Did you hear about the fire at the circus? The heat was in tents.

I’m just pages away from finishing The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires. I’m also listening to Small Fry.

QOTW:
Why do cows wear bells?
Because their horns don’t work.
