This was good..I think I will enjoy this series too

This book is tricky. In a good way. Loved the way the author led us through the crime, adding clues and putting pieces together. Looking forward to the other books so far in this series. #62-2024

The cover of this book lured me in and I enjoyed this easy little memoir. Full of tales about strange people, humorous antics, quirky coworkers, and funny anecdotes about how he became a fixture in the rare books bookshop. Book #62 in 2024

May always makes me think of flowers and spring so I went with some more colourful dice for #roll100

1 = 29

2 = 59

3 = 62

Final book of the year was a cute, quick read about cats and drama and Christmas. Seasonal and adorable. #62-2023

I just love this series

This is a post-apocalyptic story about an extremist and his family. I don‘t like working with people who have personality disorders, but I enjoy reading about them and Isaac def has undiagnosed schizophrenia. The storyline moves pretty slow and is pretty anticlimactic with zero action. The premise is a good idea, but I wanted so much more from these characters. Very underwhelming. Book #62 in 2023

23 #62 The story of Estée Lauder told from the perspective of a fictional friend. I really enjoyed this book. Both storylines held my attention. The lead characters, though flawed, were still likable.

Book #62
4.5/5
This is my 3rd Lynn Painter read, and it did not disappoint. If you like YA fiction, romance, Gilmore Girls, Taylor Swift lyrics, and Groundhog Day, you will appreciate this book.
