Well, Happy New Year! It’s been a quiet-ish week, but I did pick up a new book today. I don’t watch much TV, but hearing people talk about The Witcher made me curious. So, of course…
Books read:
Reviews posted:
–Once Ghosted, Twice Shy, by Alyssa Cole. Author does not seem to know the meaning of ghosting (the breakup is emphatic and final, kind of the opposite of ghosting), but the relationship is sweet. 3/5 stars
–Wanted, a Gentleman, by K.J. Charles. This didn’t go anywhere I didn’t expect, but I enjoyed it anyway; it’s very Regency in some ways, and yet of course a black former slave and a poor man would not be the heroes of a Regency novel. 4/5 stars
–The Santa Klaus Murder, by Mavis Doriel Hay. Actually a repost, because something went awry somewhere. A Christmas-themed mystery, but like most sold that way, doesn’t feel Christmas-y; too sordid and full of family squabbling. 3/5 stars

And that’s it for this week! How’re you guys doing? Bought your first books of 2020 yet, or holding out?
YAY! Enjoy your Witcher journey. I really enjoy the books 🙂 Having a good time with the show too. Still making my way through the season, I wish I had more time to watch TV!
I don’t think I’ll ever watch it, but my wife really enjoyed it, and I’ve been hearing so much about it… Here’s hoping I enjoy the books! I’ve always meant to play the games, too.
I wasn’t a great fan of The Witcher books. I loved the MC and the monsters but a couple of side characters drove me mad as did the dual timelines. I hope you really enjoy the books. I’m thinking about maybe watching the series to see what it’s like!
Hmm, good to know! I’ve heard the Netflix series is really good, but it does have weird timeline stuff as well, just FYI!
