I agree, there was a lot of talk surrounding this book around the time of its initial release - that put me off picking it up if I'm honest - but so far The Thirteenth Tale is proving to be a hit with me.
It's interesting how we can get in to certain moods with our reading, isn't it? I hope you're enjoying some great cozy mysteries at the moment!
I'm not too far in to The Thirteenth Tale at the moment, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it so far. I've always seen it on those 'if you like books about books' lists, and I can definitely see why The Thirteenth Tale is frequently featured in such lists.
I just saw your Narnia review- very nice! I read those books as a kid and remember liking Dawn treader and Horse and his Boy, but it's been so long... nice to see a review of the entire series. Happy Monday!
I never read the series as a child, but it was fun exploring them as an adult. The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was one of my favourites within the series, I also really enjoyed The Magician's Nephew.
Oooh... creepy vibe on that edition's cover! Is it a BBC movie or series now? I see the logo in the corner. I enjoyed this one when I read it. Was quite a while ago though -- would be a good one to re-read.
I think the cover definitely adds to the creepy vibe I've been getting so far.
I wasn't actually aware that the book had been adapted until I purchased this edition. I looked in to it afterwards and the BBC adapted it in 2014. Would have enjoyed watching - I love BBC dramas and such, however here in the UK it is now unavailable. Shame!
Oh, I LOVE that cover! "The Thirteenth Tale" is one of my most favorite books, but I've never seen it looking quite like that--and it is PERFECT for that book!
This is a popular book, and one I never got to read! I hope you're enjoying it!

DeleteI'm in a cozy mystery reading mood at the moment though I'm intrigued by the cover on this book. I'll have to find out more about it!

I have that book sitting on my TBR pile, for awhile now! I was told by a woman at the book sale that it was a good book club one.
ReplyDeleteI'm not all the way through yet, but I get the book club vibe.
DeleteI absolutely love that cover. This is a popular book but must be a new cover. I don't remember what people think of this one. Hope your enjoying it.
ReplyDeleteWhat I remember of the feedback from The Thirteenth Tale was a mixture but largely positive. So far I'm really enjoying the writing style.
DeleteThis particular cover is in conjunction with an adaptation the BBC created a couple of years ago.

ReplyDeleteI've not yet finished The Thirteenth Tale, but what I've read so far leads me to believe it may well be a favourite - I love the writing style!
DeleteThe cover is quite eerie - I much prefer it to other covers I've seen.
I love The Thirteenth Tale! Hop you're enjoying it :)
ReplyDeleteI'm reading The Night Manager by John le Carre
I sure am! Likewise, I hope you're enjoying your current read - I have yet to read anything by John le Carre, but on my 'authors I must read' list.
DeleteI like that cover better than the one I have seen here. It's creepy! I look forward to your thoughts on it!
ReplyDeleteThis was my favourite of the covers I saw too - it's pretty creepy!
DeleteI loved, loved, loved THE THIRTEENTH TALE.
ReplyDeleteMine had a different cover when I read it.
I hope you are having a good week.
