pickThis book dragged on and didn‘t live up to the hype. The rich acted as if they were superior to everyone else and their morals were terribly flawed. There were a couple of red herrings, and while the truth behind one missing child was heartbreaking, the other made sense. Not sure if this was a good snapshot of the 70s era. But honestly, it didn‘t need to be nearly 500 pages long. Book #103 in 2024
so-soA locked room mystery in winter is usually my kind of thing but this had a cast of unpleasant male characters & an undertone of misogyny that was ick. The mystery was not outstanding, although I admit the writing kept me interested. Being among male characters who either become violent or enamoured in the presence of beautiful women was not fun. Disappointing. I read this for the "classic mystery" prompt for #CloakAndDaggerChristmas @Ruthiella
22 #103 I don‘t know why I‘m still reading this series. It gets more stupid with each book. One more book to finish before 1/1 to reach my goal. No problem.
pickListened to 5 hours of this book yesterday on my road trip to visit my daughter. Again, never underestimate an “old” lady! No way am I in as good a shape as these girls! They are bad-ass! Very good if you are a fan of saving the world from terrible people - and who isn‘t? #103 #BookSpin #BFC22 #ReadMyRoom #MMDBookClub #20in4 #PromptMaze #Scarathlon2022 #Spookoeeen #31by31 #Pointsathon #LittenListens #AutumnBingo #bodycountbingo

pickI liked this book. It made me laugh and nearly made me cry. I thought the characters were endearing and I was rooting for them. Casey McQuiston wanted to give us “a spark of joy and hope” and she did! #103 #BookSpinBingo #10 #BFC21 #5 #TAILSandTALESforADULTS #30 #THEROYALREADATHON - Sidekicks - HerHer #HSREADATHON
#103 of my year. I have seen a few reviews online about this one and am really excited to see what I think lol Listening to Forever (feat. Post Malone & Clever)Justin Bieber ♥️ outside time because it‘s finally cool enough, my boys and I are doing rain dances and constantly sending up rain prayers to the sky‘s hoping it can help the fires. This year just has to get better, it just has to 🌻🌨
