This was just “okay“ for me. I feel like the story was super far-fetched (but again, what cozy isn't a bit far-fetched). Maybe because this isn't the 1st in the series? Perhaps because I doubt someone would go to those lengths for a home? Or maybe just... i mean. That house sounds so out of their price range. --- but I finished this super quick, so it did keep me interested enough

ElizaMarie @IndoorDame @dabbe @AmyG - thanks! We have this “bird buddie,“ which records birds that visit that feeder. So.. I get some adorable pictures of birds sent to my phone. It makes me happy to see them. This bird comes over quite often. And I think his girlfriend is coming over too. She isn't as red (so I think that means she is a she). Honestly don't know much about birds, but I enjoy them when they are being cute and dropping by. 7mo
IndoorDame @ElizaMarie okay, that is a use of technology I can totally get behind. I love the idea of seeing the birds that visit when you‘re not there! 7mo
bookandbedandtea Your bird friend is gorgeous! I'm tempted to get a "bird buddy" now. 7mo
Velvetfur The 'bird buddy' sounds great! That is such a gorgeous little visitor too 🥰 7mo
ElizaMarie @bookandbedandtea Oh it's great! I had gotten it for my husband as a gift (I can't remember the gift occasion, though), but.. he had been feeding the birds and doing garden stuff, so this worked. I share the app log in - shared account. So I can peak. Also, they give you facts about the birdies. 7mo
ElizaMarie @Velvetfur I will make sure to post more. I could start using the # #Birdbuddy :) 7mo
julieclair Such a beautiful cardinal! I wish the book had been better, but I‘m glad you still enjoyed it. 😃 7mo

Picked this one because it felt May flowerish. Started it yesterday while my husband was at the casino #TequillaSunrise. Not feeling the MC yet. But giving it a chance.

julieclair That title! Love it! And that drink looks so yummy. 🍹 7mo
ElizaMarie @julieclair The drink was next level! I was surprised. I had picked that drink because I ordered it on Cinco de Mayo and wasn't feeling a Margarita (well not that early in the day) - haha.
