⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you've read any of my other recent book reviews, you'll know that I start them all off in the same way - by saying that every book starts off with the full boat-load of 5 stars and I'm always hopeful that they'll all still be firmly in place by the time I close the back cover. You'll also know that I'm not shy about taking off stars but that I always give my reasons for doing so within the review. There has also been one book so far with a magic little sentence right at the back that made me rapidly replace the only star I'd knocked off and I'm always hopeful that I'll see that sentence again if necessary.
Let's get going with the reading and reviewing shall we?
My Kindle is saying that it'll take me 7 hours and 12 minutes to finish it, so in theory at least, I'll have finished it by tomorrow lunchtime, right? We shall have to wait and see!
I'm up to chapter 4 and there has already been a trademark infringement so we're already down to 4 stars... I'm really hoping that that's the only lost star 'cos this is a great book so far!
I'm up to chapter 6 now and I'm loving this book so far... it's another one of those books that I'm really hoping has that magic sentence at the back 'cos it sooo deserves 5 stars so far, if only it hadn't been for that early Trademark infringement right at the start.
It's almost time for my nightly pills, but I can't wait to get my nose stuck back into it tomorrow morning!
This review is faaaar too long so I'm just gonna comment on significant things now to keep it that bit shorter.
I'm up to page 102 now and I'm loving it so far! There have been a few more trademark mentions but I've already knocked a star off for that, so we're still safely at 4 stars.
Has the ice-maiden librarian started to melt ever so slightly? Is there the merest hint that maybe, just maybe, there might be a different/new/additional job appearing before the end of the book?
Page 158 and I've just got to the high-stakes middle of the book, just before I head to bed again lol
Currently at page 188 and I had similar experiences the first time I went camping too... although thankfully not with a dog or where it wasn't safe lol
That diagnosis came out of nowhere! No spoilers, but I think the main character is gonna be the best friend to the mum and kid... I think she is gonna be the stability and support they've both needed for a loooong time.
There's 109 pages left to go and my heart is ready to burst with fuzziness after reading that chapter!
99 pages to go tomorrow and I've just read a bit more about Ebaneezer (or however you spell his name)... is this going the way I'm thinking it will?
That chapter was just what I needed to read after today! I've got 86 more pages left to read tomorrow and if they are anything like the other pages so far, they will be like curling up under a warm blanket with the heating at just the right temperature after a long soak in a lavendar-scented bubble bath.
I'd forgotten what the main character's mum was like but that chapter has reminded me.
Nooo!! Has the main character made totally the wrong decision? Or was it the right one, for the time being at least?
Wowsers! That chapter was pretty intense and I'm glad I didn't get any phone calls while I was reading it otherwise the caller might have been concerned about my wobbly voice lol
I'll be in tears before the end of this book, I can tell that already lol
The tears are being desperately gulped back now and I'm semi-confidently predicting that I will at least be snivelling if not full-on wailing in 16 pages time.
I've just finished the book and I hope no-one phones or worse, comes to the door while I'm this snivelling, overjoyed, emotional wreck!
