Helpompi on mennä junaan, laivaan, kuolla
kuin jäädä asemalle, satamaan, kääntyä
kotiin
jossa joka tuolilla istuu tyhjä
tyhjä tulee yhdeksi pöytään
ja joka ovenavauksella
sisään uudelleen

jokususa reviewed Eleanorille kuuluu ihan hyvää by Gail Honeyman
None
4 stars
Olin jostain saanut kuvan, että tämä on mielenterveysongelmista huolimatta sellaista kevyttä, romanttista kirjallisuutta. Ei ollut. Psykologiseksi kirjaksi yksinäisyydestä voisin sanoa.
Eleanor ei ole aina herttainen eikä mukava. Ja silti halusin heti alusta lähtien kuulla hänen tarinansa. Se on vaikea, mutta lopulta toiveikas; koskaan ei ole liian myöhäistä. Hyvä kirja! En osaa sanoa enempää.
SpoilerLopusta en kuitenkaan pitänyt niin hirveästi. Tunsin oloni vähän tyhmäksi. Rakennettiin pitkään tarinaa, joka ei pidäkään paikkaansa. Vähän sellainen "kaikki olikin unta"- oloinen lopetus. Mutta mitä pidempään asiaa ajattelen, se sopi tarinallisesti kuvaan ja oikeastaan olin vain tosiaan vähän tyhmä, etten tajunnut aiemmin.

jokususa reviewed Miljoona ruusua by Ilon Wikland
None
3 stars
Tämä oli mulla vuoden kesken, ja palautin välillä takaisin kirjastoon. Kai se jotain kertoo, ettei erityisemmin napannut. Palasin kuitenkin, että saisin keskeneräisten listalta pois. Tarinat ovat kyllä lyhyitä, helppolukuisia ja herttaisia, mutta jälleen kerran tuntuu että lukukokemus olisi kokonaisempi, jos tietäisi ennestään tekijästä jotain.

Caught up again with my Goodreads reading challenge for the year, yay!
Although this book was a bit more "nay"
Obviously this reminded me of Evanovich' other series, but a lot of this book too:
[b:The Hot Rock|596576|The Hot Rock (Dortmunder, #1)|Donald E. Westlake|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1424652145s/596576.jpg|980279]
Stephanie Plum series are wacky, a little dumb but in a way that makes me laugh. Fox and O'Hare gave up some of the wackiness for a little less ridiculous crimes and criminals. Which could be good. A good mystery is a good mystery, you know. But since the characters are a lot more competent with what they do, it's not as much fun. And honestly, there's a lot of characters introduced but I don't really feel much for them. I don't know what is it that's missing, but something is missing.
And Nick Fox - he's not the kind of perfect you really fancy. He's …

And Nick Fox - he's not the kind of perfect you really fancy. He's exactly the type of perfect you want to hit with a bus, and I'm disappointed that didn't happen more in this book.
In the end, it's alright. You might not particularly regret spending your time with this book, but in the end, you'll know you could've done better.

Sanoisin 3,5. Ei hirveesti mitään uutta verrattain Wohllebenin aiempiin, mutta ihan mukava paketti.
jokususa reviewed Fearless fourteen by Janet Evanovich (Stephanie Plum)

2 stars
First time listening to Audible audiobook! Took some adjusting to get used to the reader acting out the voices. The reader was rather good, but somehow couldn't quite fit as Ranger's voice... So it was a bit silly.
The format put aside, it was somewhat boring to me. Not Evanovich' strongest book at all. Rather slow paced and surprisingly, not even that funny to me. If this was the first book in the series, I'd ditch it - but since I've had such fun times with Stephanie in the past, I think I'll continue reading just to see where it goes.
jokususa reviewed Lean mean thirteen by Janet Evanovich

3 stars
This one added nothing new to the table. Nevertheless, I had a blast, probably because I had a break between this and the previous book. I'm in for another light-hearted read so I'll probably read the next one soon. We'll see if I'll enjoy that one too.
