Christmas is over,
the new year is underway —
time for a vacation.

Is it just me or is anybody else a little burnt out right now? I‘ve got the January blues. 😌

Stayed up way too late to finish this one but wanted to finish the story. I wasn‘t impressed when I started because it was a story from the main characters childhood instead of the norm. But I quickly got into the story and enjoyed it very much. Good to learn more about the main characters background. Overall good part of the series.

Get in, Iron Lake, we‘re going on vacation. 🏝️

Book #4 in the series - still enjoying it!

Does No-Buy January include books? Asking for a friend. 😬

August 2025 I read 13 books. I was just surprised because lately my reading time is so limited 😭

Favorite book-King of Ashes
Happy to get off my shelf a couple of books, some will be sold or donated.

#12BooksOf2025 February. A combination of a small town saga & a mystery as the richest man in town is found dead . It‘s 1958 as Sheriff Dern investigates, family secrets, racism, and WWII trauma are unleashed in the process.

Cool book about the history of the lost forest. Basically, some surveyors back in the day were in the wrong part of the forest and only found a lake but not a forest. Therefore, this “lost“ forest was never on a map. Interesting history and nice illustrations.

I think this is #4 or #5 in the series of Cash Blackbear, a 20 year old, raised in the foster care system now friend and aide to the county sheriff. Set in Fargo, ND/MN.

"Cash stepped out of the cab of her Ranchero onto the soft, black dirt of the field she was to plow under."
