I am excited to read that Richard Osman book! I do want to point out though that his other series, the Thursday Murder Club explores deeper themes (mainly, aging and losing the ones you love), while still being overall still being super fun and funny books. Just wanted to share in case he has been portrayed to you as an author that doesn’t write much of substance (although I could have misinterpreted your comment); the deeper themes are some of the most beautifully written parts of those books. Highly recommend the audiobooks for that series 😊.

Nice, thank you! I know almost nothing about Richard Osman or The Thursday Murder Club series; only my experience of this book. It was listed as one of the "biggest new books" on Literary Hub / Book Marks which is how we discovered it for my book club :)

i have one child and we’re not having any more, and i’m sooooooo sick of people asking about it. i’ve started saying “when are you having your next kid?” as a response, even if they’re like 70 years old. lol

Just out of curiosity, are you bingeing Gossip Girl because you have never seen it or is this a rewatch? And are we talking OG or sequel here? :)

Oh this is a very important question!! I am bingeing the OG right now as a reward for getting through the year 😂 (it’s one of my other favorite all time shows) — I found the reboot to be nearly unwatchable
