tarantino! Welcome to tFS! :flower: Even if you don't reach 12 books (which is a great challenge!), there's always next year's challenge, which the new year suddenly seems a lot closer! I'm not even sure if I will reach my goal.

Sorry for the late reply! I really enjoyed the book. I thought it was interesting how it was written in death's point of view and I especially liked how the book ended completely with no unanswered questions. There is a movie adaptation coming out. I hope it lives up to the book. Have you read anything else by that author?
