pick12-26-24: My 50th finished book of 2024!

Second wife Belinda and their adopted daughter Angie. And current wife Scarlett and their daughter Ellery.
pickI enjoyed this, second in the series, quick read. It reveals lots of POVs and covers one festive (and messy) weekend in December.
so-soWell, I needed to continue once I realised it was a series but it pretty much confirmed how I felt about Mitzy and especially Ava. This one went quick but also felt like it didn't need to be that long because really it didn't seem like much happened. Oh, Nora Vale is an annoying character as well but Kevin's lack of agency around her is far more aggravating.
pickMight be my first EH and it is a little standard-romance-y but I still blew threw it and enjoyed it. My least fave characters are Mitzy (sp? I listen to audio) and Ava to be sure. Ava is top least fave, her dilemma is quite possibly the most trite and the way the narrator has her say “mommy“ smacks of being 6yo. It's weird.
pickA soft pick for these two loosely-connected stories that take place on Nantucket a year apart. These were super Hallmarky and perfectly pleasant. I enjoyed the first more than the second, because the mom in the second story drove me kind of crazy. But the greatest tragedy is that I was 160 pages in and all of the sudden the book skipped to page 216!! Right at the big finale of chaos (you know, where the kid ran away with the puppy and supper is ⬇

I read Winter Street two years ago, and loved it. Meant to read this last year but starting it today.
pickBook 4 in the Quinn family saga is done. I love all of the books but this is my least favorite if I had to pick one. Mainly because it‘s over but also it ends on a sad note. Still, it comes to feel like these are real people you could go & visit on Nantucket. I‘d highly recommend this series! 5⭐️

I enjoyed the first book in this series so much I immediately downloaded the second - and it‘s great for lots of word search points! I know I‘m missing at least half of them! #wintergames2024 #xmaschacha @StayCurious
pickEH books are so easy to read. I devoured this on a snow day and I feel warm and fuzzy now
