    I just want to say, I like the farming arc. I really enjoyed Levin mowing with the peasants.

    I hate this book. I hate it so much and I can’t stand it. I knew I would be sad but I didn’t want it to be like this. I’m HEARTBROKEN. I think I need a couple days

  • New Year - What do you want to do more of?

    Hi all! Since we’re getting close to the new year I thought it would be fun to talk about something we want to do more of.

    For me - I want to go on reading picnics with my friends more. I’m always thinking about it but never following through and asking them to join me. I think it would be fun to bring treats (chips, scones, things like that) and just read next to each other.

    Soooo I am Dutch and a lot of the names in the book are typical Dutch names( Koen, Anneke, Jochem) Buuutt I just listened to the audiobook and they pronounce their names super English 😂 my whole life is a lie because I read the names the Dutch way. I wonder how Hazelwood came up with the names 😋

    The ending and reading order.

    Phew, what an ending, this has been the best book so far. It really brought all the previous books together. Now I’m also convinced, CONVINCED, that it’s better when people read assassins blade first and not after a couple of books. It really gave the ending extra feels 😭 cannot even imagine it being a good idea reading it after book 3 or something. Anyway… I need to heal my heart after this book 🥲, so I’m taking a little TOG break again. Gonna read a random book before continuing the series.

    Just wow, this has been the best book so far. The anxiety and hope and devastation and relief. Every small chapter brought so many feelings with it. I loved it. Really loved this book. I can’t stop thinking about it. The progression of the series is also very satisfying. Every book gets better. There are two more to go and I cannot even imagine what more is about to happen. I’m dreading that the ending is getting nearer.

  • Can I just say

    I absolutely love this app already. As a millennial whose first intro to social media was MySpace in 2006, this app feels so authentic to that time period. I hope other social media in the future follows suit!

    Help uncover a book from my memories...

    SOLVED!!

    Roughly 8-10 years ago I listened to an audiobook and have never been able to find it again. I can remember a few things about it, and am hoping someone in this lovely forum can help me.

    1. I think it is part of a series. Short story format I believe, but all following same principle character.
    2. Genre is crime, closer to the cosy or cottage vibe than the thriller...
    3. There is a male detective. I believe he lives on a barge, with a dog. I am unsure if he is an actual member of the Police force, or more a PI.
    4. He might be American... Or have been narrated as having an American accent in the audiobook.
    5. The male detective works in collaboration with a female detective. She has a son. She is good with computers, any maybe does something like web design as a job with sleuthing as a side line.

    In one story: a priest dies when out on a run. They can use the heart rate monitor to find out time of death (and also determine that he's been dragged from the path he was running on). It eventually emerges that a nun from a local convent killed him, because in the past he had got another girl pregnant and was a scoundrel.

    In another story: there is a regatta/boat race. It's quite Oxford/Cambridge in setting. I cannot recall much of this plot, but I think there is a boat chase at one point?!

    It has been bugging me for years. Any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!
