Happy mid-November! We're heading into our last weeks of Book Quest 2022 and it's such a weird feeling. This year went by so fast but at the same time, it didn't.

One of the highlights of this time is figuring out what to get as prizes for the program! Who doesn't love prizes? And I need your input. I always do a Kindle Fire as the main prize but is that still an item people are interested in? Would you all prefer a Kindle Paperwhite? Or other reading device? Or something else entirely? Weigh in with your thoughts this week!

What is everyone reading this week? I finished The House Next Door and wow nothing prepared me for that ending. My roommate, who recommended the book, said she keeps thinking about it weeks later and I can see why. If you're looking for slow burn horror that is more character driven than about the horror, this book was great. I've also randomly been in an Agatha Christie mood so I've been reading her books. Just finished Peril at End House which once again, fairly clever and even though I have read it, I forgot where it was going.

Now I'm reading a couple books- Bonds of Brass, Unfinished Tales, and a book recommended by a coworker, In a Jam.

Happy reading!

Ann (ann-fracturedfiction) | 516 comments I am currently reading Braiding Sweetgrass and finishing listening to HP and the Order of the Phoenix (I'm on the last disc- It's taken me so long I've run out of renewals). Next up is Book 2 of Dana Stabenow's mystery series (set in Alaska). I might look for something else to listen to on my commute, just not something that is 23 cds long.
I started reading Christie's Poirot books last year, and made it all the way to Poirot's Christmas before running out of steam, but I think I might start up again.
