Don't forget to declutter the other Nesbo book. :) I don't blame you for DNFing anything that offends you, even if it is a reflection of reality. One doesn't have to suffer unpleasant reality when reading fiction. That's what real life is for - why wallow in misery voluntarily?

I feel like all of her female characters (that I’ve read. To be fair, I haven’t read all of them) don’t have any agency. Their entire personality is based on how the author wants them to react instead of feeling like a real person - if that makes any sense at all. They’re a cardboard cutout of a person to fill what needs to be filled in the plot.

We watched two other episodes as well that were much better, but for now I still prefer the books.

I listened to The Bat some years ago and found it really boring so you definitely haven’t missed anything. I love this genre, and have enjoyed plenty by Scandinavian authors, so it’s not me, it’s definitely this book/author ☺️ I have avoided this author ever since.

I have been 50% of the way through John Dies at the End for over a year now because it’s very gross and very bro-y, but I want to finish it because my husband loves it. 🙃

I read both of those books and I thought the writing was TERRIBLE. And the Housemaid is essentially the same plot as The Last Mrs Parish but at least that book was readable. I have not read Nesbo and will not be picking it up. Frieda McFadden is an author I refuse to read now due to poor writing and incorrect vocabulary usage. John Dies in the End is an experience…. I personally did not like it but it’s very different than anything else I’ve read.

I hated No Exit, that was my only 2 star last year. Is this petty? They are stuck in a snow storm running around outside in the snow..and I don’t ever remember anyone getting cold. 😂

For crime that isn‘t verywhere (or maybe that‘s just me…) I recommend Penance by Eliza Clark - but maybe it’s too True Crime-ish

I was watching this video while eating my lunch peacefully and just at minute 10:00 a freaking WASP came out of nowhere and into my house! Going to stare at the wall for a few hours now

Oh man, my mom’s dog and my 2 cats are ADDICTED to freeze dried chicken hearts. The cats will try to swallow them whole (and end up choking 🤦‍♀️) so they need to be broken up a little for them first

LOL not the choking! Chunky didn't care for them at first until I cut them up... not necessary now but he has to hurry or Charlie will steal them XD

Prediction: You are going to hate The Snowman. I read it and I didn't mind the story but sexist comments in books don't really bother me, however, I think it will bother you a lot the way that the male characters talk about the female cop especially.

Not only is The Housemaid terrible, the author plagiarized the entire plot from The Last Mrs. Parish.
