pickThis story of two mothers and their families held me captivated. I felt for Mrs. Fowler, and I came to care for Mrs. Willoughby, too. The last chapter was exactly the ending I needed. I can see myself picking this one again in another year or two. Classic Persephone!
This was my February #BookSpin pick.

pickWhile still good, the 3rd book in The Lost Queen Series, I didn't find as good as the first two. The Shadowed Land took us on a journey with Angharad, as she continues to develop as a Wisdom Keeper, and Artur, who follows in his father's footsteps. Languoreth and Lailoken still are prominent in the book. This one wasn't as long as the other two, either. I reread the first two books, since it had been a few years since I read them, before I ⬇️

I'm definitely looking forward to reading my #BookSpin, but with the way my life has been going lately, I'm not sure about my #DoubleSpin, The Darkest Night. I've already finished the first book on my December list, Enid Blyton's Christmas Stories, and I'm hoping to get at least one #BookSpinBingo this month, even if I don't manage to finish both books.
November was a good reading month for me.

pick4.5 ⭐️
Oh my, what a book! You meet someone at a therapy session, and you decide to kill each other's person that won't face justice for what they did. This is the premise of 'Kill For Me, Kill For You.' This book will grab you at the beginning. It is so good. I did figure one thing out at about 70% through it. But was shocked at the last chapter!
😊 Happy Reading 😊

pickWhat an exciting political thriller!
The best part of the book were the characters. I loved the two main characters, Kostas and Jessica. Sometimes in thrillers characters can take a backseat to the action of the story, but not here. They were well developed and I loved their bond.
The story was well crafted. It was fast paced and had short chapters.
