#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii
1. My husband
2. Reading everyone‘s 5 joys posts.
3. Writing notes for #LitsyLove
4. Knowing the school year is almost over
5. One mama cat had 5 kittens about 8 weeks ago. Recently another cat had a kitten (I am assuming only one survived). The mother of the single kitten is also nursing some of the other five. Two of the smallest of the five seem to be benefiting from it.

Freya has avoided her antique mentor for 20 years, since she believes he helped kill her love in Egypt at that time. When her mentor Arthur is found dead, and she receives a letter from him telling her to where to find the unique bird he's looked for, she is pulled back into the career she was so good doing. If you like descriptions of antiques and a whodunit story, you will like this book. Between a 3 and 4 for me

Another excellent story by Hannah. Frankie's brother goes to Vietnam and his friend says "women can be heroes too". This Frankie's decides to enlist, but only the army will accept her. Her time in the medical Corp is Vietnam is eye opening, how medics worked under the most horrific conditions. I don't know if how she brings the book to a close is what I expected and liked. But Frankie's growth as a woman between the 50s ideas of womanhood⬇️

“There were just a few weeks left of the deployment. The wives were frustrated and wrung out, and the air had become charged with these emotions.”

Memoir of being an army wife-great writing, authentic characters, unputdownable! Setting is Fort Benning in Georgia in mid 2000s.

Zapata is the queen of slow burn love stories and this book proves it. Loved the characters and the plot. The story developed organically and I thought the dialog really worked. 4.5⭐️

I loved The Fallen Men series by this author. This is another series about anti-heores and I liked it but not as much as the other series. The plot was good but I didn't get as deeply connected to these characters as I wanted to. 3.5⭐️
