2020 Reading: Fangs

This was a cute little book that came through the library and I knew that I had to get it because it was by the same woman who does Sarah Scribbles and I just love her sense of humor and she did not disappoint me with this little book of comics about a vampire and a werewolf that fall in love. Cute little read.

2020 Reading: Overture to Death

 #49 A book from a series with more than 20 books

I continue to make my way through the Detective Alleyne series. I just can't help it! They are so damned entertaining. I think I've even convinced my mother to start reading them now. I am still determined to read all 30-something of the books in the series and it will be the greatest things I will ever do in my life. I know that there is at least going to be one in the works for next year's challenge, and I hope many more to come in the years after that.

2020 Reading: Girling Up

 #16 A book about or by a woman in STEM

I really admire Mayim Bialik. I have to admit that I am a little too young for the Blossum fame phase but I am a fan of Amy Fara-Fowler and Mayim Bialik herself is an amazing woman. While this book might have been geared more toward people that are very much younger than I am, I still found her perspective and opinion on things very interesting and her anecdotes funny. There's another book that goes with this one geared more towards boys which I might read in the future, but for now, I'll just move on to another book in my challenge.

2020 Reading: Library of Souls

 This book was originally on my list last year, but I never got around to it. Since my list this year includes one of the books that comes after it in the series, I figured I was just go ahead and read it in order to further myself along and try to make up for a little bit of the gap from last year's challenge. It was originally "#18 A book about someone with a superpower" in the 2019 POPSUGAR Challenge.

Since it has been a while since I read the first and second books, it took me a while to remember what was happening in the plot, and to tell you the truth, I don't think I quite remember all of it, but still, it was a good book. I still love all the photographs and I am anxious to see where the story will go from here in the next two books.

2020 Reading: My Sweet Audrina

 #10 A book recommended by your favorite blog, vlog, podcast, or online book club

I first heard about this book from Karen and Georgia from My Favorite Murder, which is my favorite podcast ever so I knew that I had to read it.

Seriously though, was V.C. Andrews okay? Like, did she need help or something? All of her books (and I'm talking about the only 4 books she actually did write) are a little... disturbing in nature. Not that that's a bad thing. I'm just curious. I really liked this book though and as soon as I started it, I could not put it down until I had finished it. I was supposed to read another book at the same time. NOPE. Had to finished this one first. So good.

2020 Reading: Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore

 #42 A book with "20" or "twenty" in the title

I went into this book knowing absolutely nothing about it and I think that was the best thing I could have done. Not suspecting anything made the twists in this book so much better for me. It became a kind of fast-paced mystery that I didn't want to put down. This is definitely a story with many layers... about stories with many layers. I am indeed a fan of this.

2020 Reading: Death in a White Tie

 #48 A book published in the 20th century

No! Poor Bunchy. Ah well. Another one solved for Chief Detective Inspector Alleyn. And one step closer to Agatha Troy. I admit, I am a sucker for that storyline.

Once again, I was hearing Benedict Cumberbatch's voice in my head as I read this and it never disappoints. I don't know why they didn't have him do more of the audiobooks. He has the perfect voice for it. I guess it's just close enough to Sherlock for him to get away with it, but Alleyn has so much more dry wit and charm.

But what was that bit at the end in the epilogue? Hmmm....

I can't wait for the next one.
