    Way to stand strong! Amen! Facts! Hubby is right! Take that mid-season break! Ha! 😂 “I look like a pumpkin spiced latte!” Yeah it’s hard sometimes. And it can be a lot! Thank God for the “healing and rest”! I think Rocky talks up SA Cosby. The thrill is gone!? 😂 Happy Birthday! You know we love the plants! Wifey got your back on the plants! Y’all with these lashes! 😁 “This book does not need to be this long!!” 😮 So sorry it wasn’t your Jam! 🤓 Glad you’re back! ❤❤❤

    Happy Belated Birthday! I feel like A Flicker In The Dark was was unnecessarily long and tried to trick us but it was so obvious lol. I love your birthday look 😍 My brother and sister in law went to Central and they loved it!

    • @joycewesley
      @joycewesley  3 дня назад

      Thank you! 🫶🏽Girl it was sooo long. I can’t believe that book gets as much hype as it does. Everything was so obvious and anticlimactic. I love that they enjoyed their experience at CMU. I think that might be my fave for him so far. We have 3 more college visit to go🤦🏽‍♀️

    I just finished A Flicker In the Dark and I loved it! I really thought I knew who it was and was dead wrong 🤣🤣🤣 I listened to it on audio and it really kept my attention. I’ve also realized that I suck at guessing mysteries so there’s that lol

    • @joycewesley
      @joycewesley  День назад

      lol usually I’m not the best either. I’ve just been paying more attention to clues that I normally overlook. I can’t say it was a bad book, just not enough thrill or wow factor for me 😫

  • @MadamMaxine5

    Happy birthday 🎉 🎈 Glad you are back!! I FELT the same way about this book. It was so obvious of who the killer was. The final..final twist did get me, but everything else was just bleh. I did like All The Dangerous Things by Stacy Willingham. You might like it!

    • @joycewesley
      @joycewesley  День назад

      Hey girl hey! Thank you! So happy to be back. The killer was mad obvious which is why I knew that very last twist was gonna be what it was 😅 I had All the Dangerous Things on my TBR last year, but I never got around to it. I might give it a try since you liked it. But idk… this book was just so anticlimactic I can’t even trust her again 😂😂

    A Flicker in the Dark is under the wrong genre. That’s the biggest issue with this book, it’s labeled a Thriller , but it’s more of a Contemporary Mystery. Had others gone in the book knowing it was a contemporary book, they might have liked it. I dnf’d it because I couldn’t stop waiting to be thrilled and it never came. The writing was good and I’ll pick it up some other time.

    • @joycewesley
      @joycewesley  3 дня назад

      Cracking up at “I couldn’t stop waiting to be thrilled”. I felt the same way. I completely agree that it leans more towards contemporary than a thriller. Marketing is key and they missed the mark with this one. I also agree that her writing wasn’t bad, which is why I couldn’t say it was a bad book. It just wasn’t what I was looking for.

    I read Flicker in the Dark early this year and guessed the killer from the start but stuck through it to see how the truth would be revealed. Anticlimactic and just an okay read for me.

    • @joycewesley
      @joycewesley  3 дня назад +1
