I enjoyed the Shivers Collection from Amazon. In each story, something isn't quite 'right' with reality, whether it is a vindictive tree or a haunting for example. The story by Catriona Ward is my favorite in the collection. I also like how each story takes less than a hour to read, perfect to fit in here and there during the day. 4 stars.

1* Box Land 📦
2* my plants survived the move
3* & 4* 2 bookshelves waiting for the books!
5* But first, coffee ☕️

1. My MIL treated my SIL and I to a manicure. It was my first one & I learned a lot, like if you don‘t like the color after they paint your pinkie you can ask for a different color 😂 Had I known this, my nails would look very different now lol (the pic is my “after”)
2. Love having MLB.tv and watching all the baseball games
3. Homemade pizza last night
4. Coffee & Wine
5. Tomorrow is Indie Bookstore Day in the US 😍📚

34/100
Lots of Terry Pratchett (but none that I have read) and Jacqueline Wilson (I haven't read any of hers). I'd like to read some of each of theirs, and my son has me intrigued by House of Leaves, so maybe I'll put that one on my list, too.

Three I was surprised by how much I liked:
1) Kim
2) All Quiet on the Western Front
3) Heidi

Are YOU joining in the fun for May?

So many of us have read the books, fiction and nonfiction. We feel we understand the horrors of WWII and say “Never Again” passionately. And I think we truly believed that we would never allow it happen again, that no one could ever be that evil in our lifetime. But it is here on full display. It‘s like our President is using Hitler‘s playbook.

Kevin has been popping up on my Instagram a lot lately. It has not been easy to find reasons to smile lately but listening to this does.

1. Yes, always. Never know when you will need it.

2. The God of the Woods: The main family of this book is wealthy and yes in this book it does affect the character/characters, not in a good way but a bad way. Money to me is something we all have to have. Some have more than others. And it can be used in a bad way or a good way. Just like not being wealthy can affect you in a good or bad way. We all have the same choices, to be good or 2b bad.

Well, I just finished my #DoubleSpin so no time like the present to belatedly post my April #BookSpin list. In keeping with doing things kind of backwards and out of order, I think I‘ll start my actual #BookSpin book now. 🤣

1) Honestly, confused. I haven‘t heard the cat all day ( see my last post) I hope it is okay because I heard a couple of cat fights last night I think animal control came by and anti- cruelty called me. I just hope the cat is okay. Say a little prayer and send good vibes little Max is okay. I named him Max, lol. I will try to find out tomorrow. 2) I like Joyce Meyer but she is a religious speaker who has written a lot of books. Litsy is the only

I have always loved Scotland (no wonder I ended up having a Scottish herding dog) so it isn't a big surprise that I love the setting in this book ❤️ And can you believe: there is a Finnish character as well 🤣🤣

Twins with Daddy‘s Bestie by Clara Dunn

3.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

#romance

This is becoming freaky now! I read the lost passenger on the week of the anniversary of the Titanic (even heard some of the film score on the radio as I was reading it) and now I am reading Conclave on the week the pope dies. Not done purposely but it's just so weird that it has happened like this!!😲🤔

Has this happened to anyone else?

This is from the Papier Insta page. They do beautiful notebooks.

Guys, when you're down in the dumps what do you read?

- Sad, reflective books to reflect your mood?
- Cosy, cute books to raise a smile?
- Immersive fantasy worlds to escape into?
- Twisty mystery plots to distract your attention?
