The Leisure Seeker: A Novel | Michael Zadoorian

I read a lot of books that start with “The“ - may have to be more intentional on titles OR just carry the #AlphabeticalBingo ( @Clwojick ) into next year - ok - option 2 it is 😂!

Make a great day everyone 🍂

wanderinglynn Since “the”, “a”, and “an” are articles used to refer to a specific noun, I‘d ignore the article and look at the first noun after “the”. 😉 1y

Kit is hired to take care of Lenora Hope, who was accused of killing her parents and sister Virginia in 1929 but never arrested because there was not enough evidence. Lots of twists and turns about what really happened. A bit confusing at times, but overall a very good read!

2/2 on #BookSpinBingo goals for the week
Will take at least the rest of this year to finish #AlphabeticalBingo (too many T books 😂)
Make a great day everyone 🙂

Q is for Quarry | Sue Grafton

Pickpick

This was a good detective novel - my first Grafton (used for Q in #AlphabeticalBingo and #BookSpinBingo and one goal of #20in4 ) - Kinsey is a good MC and her two police side kicks in this one were fun. Kinsey is brought in to help solve a cold case - find out who Jane Doe is and who murdered her - based on a real life case (unfortunately that Jane Doe was never solved).

Make a great day everyone 🙂

Soft pick. I enjoyed this one - and I especially enjoyed reading it, as always, with the #HashtagBrigade - but I think this book would have benefited from either narrowing its focus or being spread out over multiple books. We have every single character Austen ever thought about creating all milling about, and three different love stories, so it's a lot to jam in. In the end, I wanted to like it more than I did, mainly because I'm not actually ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) convinced that any of the three couples are still going to happy in ten years! 😂 Still, a fun little romp, and kudos to Brinton for managing to work so many of Austen's characters into one story!

Thanks for hosting @BarkingMadRead - reading as a group increases my enjoyment of these books by about 1000%!!!

BarkingMadRead This seems to be the general consensus 🤣🤣 1y
eeclayton I'm especially doubtful about Mary+Fitz. Her passive aggressive way of problem solving may not be conducive to married bliss in the long run. 1y

TheAromaofBooks @eeclayton - For sure. I wish we could have seen a scene of them actually having a conversation about their misunderstandings and working through them. And I just... Kitty as the helpmeet in a parish??? Georgianna, who is sweet and kind but rich and spoiled, as the wife of a seagoing fellow who is gone for months at a time??? None of these really matched up for me 😂 1y
eeclayton While I agree about Kitty, her engagement actually makes sense to me. She was disappointed and then welcomed the first person who was interested in her. That doesn't mean I see happy spouses in the future 😂 It's a great point that all of these conversations take place off-screen. Even with Georgiana+William, we see them meeting, but aren't given what is said. 1y
willaful I actually think it could work for Georgina, because she's used to being the family pet and she'll just keep being that while William's at sea. Kitty I don't see at all. She'll be bored and useless. 1y

Can you believe we have almost reached the mid-year point!?! Thought it was a good time to ask and rethink goals and challenges. Have a great Tuesday!

My answers:
📚 I am doing well on my GoodReads challenge. Not so much on working through my TBR mountain and my #BOTMbacklog.
📚📚 I really want to focus on reading books I already own.

CatMS 📚 I'm at 56% of my Goodreads challenge. 📚 I also want to read books on my shelves and Kindle but can't resist getting books from the library 1y
