The Witness | 
so-soI enjoyed the book overall but kept waiting for a climax that never happened. I was hooked in the first set of chapters even though they were different from what I expected when I picked up the book. On the second set, the book started spiraling down. It was monotonous throughout. I thought eventually it would all make sense with some grandiose plot twist or events, but it never happened. Overall a good, different story, but would not recommend.
pickFirst finished book of 2024! Turns out I‘ve actually read it before but I think I read it when it came out in 2012 and didn‘t actually realize I‘d read it until I was halfway through. So, in my mind, it was a brand new read for me. 🤣It was a nice way to start my mini vacation after working solid from the day after Christmas through the 4th. #ReadAway2024 @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
so-soI'm usually a pretty big fan of Roberts, but this one just didn't click for me. I didn't particularly care for either of the main characters (Abigail came through as an android and Brooks was so freaking pushy, especially in the beginning, at a level where I felt like he was mis-using his position as sheriff) and for a book where she's supposedly being hunted down by Russian mafia and the FBI, the action level was almost nonexistent.
pickI enjoyed this, my third ever Nora Roberts, very much.Elizabeth lives an extremely sheltered life. A prodigy, she‘s enrolled in premed at Harvard at just 16. Escaping for one night, she ends up at a club owned by the Russian mob where she witnesses a double murder. When her Federal minders are also killed, she goes on the run. 12yrs later, living a quiet life in the Ozarks, she catches the eye of the sheriff. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 3points+40

Getting some #audiopuzzling done tonight, I‘m really enjoying Nora Roberts. I‘m wondering why it‘s taken me so long to read her, she‘s very good. Still feel like crap unfortunately🤒 #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-158
In bed with a temperature & a headache so I‘m listening to an audiobook on low. Pretty sure my youngest has given me the flu, thanks @Ciara_Rosey Still, at least I‘m adding points to my #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point +14points from mini games #PointsTotal-156
I think I‘m turning into a bit of an artist! Been doing some more #audiojournaling tonight, with some advice from my DIL who‘s an artist(but everything was done by me!)I‘m quite pleased with how it‘s turned out, considering stick figures were a stretch two days ago. Now I‘ve just got to finish the rest I have planned🙇🏻♀️ #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-43
My eyes are feeling gritty so I‘m switching to this audiobook. Elizabeth is a prodigy. At 16 yrs old, she‘s studying premed at Harvard, but with a controlling mother & no father, she‘s led a very sheltered life. Busting out one night, a former school friend convinces her to go clubbing, but the club is run by the Russian mob & after she witnesses a double murder she ends up in witness protection. #Scareathlon #TeamSlaughter 1point #PointsTotal-17

Damnnnnn... Nora Roberts throwing down the gauntlet on Cristiane Serruya, the Brazilian "author" that Courtney Milan first called out for plagiarizing dozens of authors and their books ??. Full article tagged in comments if you're curious! #romance #romantsy
Roberts: "She‘s a blood leech sucking on the body of the writing profession. Arranging for a truckload of salt to dispense with her has been taking up a lot of my time, energies, sanity..."
pickClassic Nora Roberts, but one of my favorite heroines from her books
"And still she felt more confident at the prospect of taking on the Russian Mafia than she did attending a backyard barbecue." ? (life of an introvert)
Another night at basketball 🏀 I left my Kindle at home . Thankfully I have the kindle app on my phone!
Elizabeth Fitch is just 16 when she witnesses a Russian organized crime killing. I felt the plot was building up to some serious action and then was concerned the ending would fizzle. But the final twist caught me by surprise. Very satisfying.
Between driving around Christmas shopping, #audiocleaning and #audiowalking I've managed to listen to 4 1\u002 hours this weekend.
On a side note, our little local library branch had some fun with their book dropbox.
Contemplating what to do for 8 hours this weekend so I can finish this book. I started it last weekend while wrapping presents and continued during my daily commute, but still just halfway done! I can sense some serious action on the horizon and don't want to wait until Monday to get back to it.
Excited to leave for work this morning so I could continue this audiobook during my commute. Now sitting in the parking lot to finish this chapter.
Doing a little #audiowrapping since Baby Girl is out of the house this afternoon. If I leave these presents unwrapped in the house much longer she will find them.
I just got this book in the mail. It is an advance copy from Nora Roberts. So far not so bad
so-soThe plot itself is fine. Not much action and it's pack more of romance than suspense. I've listen to this 📚 and the narrator did a very good job narrating the 📚. #noraroberts #thewitness #romanticsuspense
#mysteriouslove #17booklove. Visiting a friend's house and took a photo of some of my mysteries on her pretty rug
pickI really love Nora's stand alone a and this one was no exception.
