Fun
In my spare time, I like to play tennis, do jigsaw puzzles, and bake bread!
I have been enjoying reading whodunnits these days (early 2023), and one of my favorite whodunnit writers is Anthony Horowitz. Here are some of his books I really liked:
- Susan Ryeland series:
- Magpie Murders
- Moonflower Murders
- Hawthorne and Horowitz series:
- The word is murder
- The sentence is death
- A line to kill
- The twist of a knife
- Close to death
- he has 7 more planned!!
Other whodunnits/books with whodunnit vibes I’ve recently read:
- The Appeal by Janice Hallett
- The Twyford Code by Janice Hallett
- The Mysterious Case of the Alperton Angels by Janice Hallett
- The Examiner by Janice Hallett
- The Marlow Murder Club by Robert Thorogood
- Death comes to Marlow by Robert Thorogood
- The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman (currently reading, slowly…).
I recently started reading Robert Galbraith’s Cormoran Strike series (rank so far in parantheses, titles ordered by chronology):
- Cuckoo’s Calling (6 – this was very predictable)
- The Silkworm (5 – kind of boring, and I’m generally not a fan of gore)
- A Career of Evil (4 – very good! I loved the character development here)
- Lethal White (2 – v v good! character development continues to improve)
- Troubled Blood (1 – best one so far, not only is the character development at its peak but the actual mystery is by far the most intriguing)
- The Ink Black Heart (1.5 – similar to troubled blood, the climax was rushed, which is why this is still below troubled blood.)
- The Running Grave (3 – very good character development, but main story was not as good as TB or IBH)
One day I hope to solve Cain’s Jawbone by Edward Powys Mathers.
I once visited a cat cafe and met this amazing cat named cheesy poof! He is amazing and I hope a prosperous life is in store for him:
Here’s an illustration of cheesy poof made by lined cats:
