pickFascinating, a bit slow in places, but if you are a wine lover or interested in the history of wine, this book may be right for you. Following the wine tasting that changed the world of wine, this looks at the history of California wine and what happened when they beat the best French wines in France in 1976. I savored this one! #Doublespin #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

pickYup…. another event and another murder. She really could be a serial killer in plain sight in theory…. but a fun event idea, engaging primary mystery and more clues for the secondary mystery thread that runs through each of the books. Still a pick but i would definitely avoid her events…
pickThe third book and third event- I‘m not sure i would risk going to these events though… they are plagued by murders…. I like the story and the mystery and the characters- but i think the murders should occur outside the events she coordinates…
pickThis was another good #audiobook I picked up by chance on Libby. It was a decent mystery that surprised me with it's big reveal. I, however, thought some the story wrap up seemed a bit contrived. All in all, I enjoyed this Ally Condie novel.

Welcome back @TheSpineView 😀
1. My favorite spring flowers are pansies. I love their little faces!
2. My mystery book club requested a flower-related cozy for our May selection. I found a “bunch” on cozymystery.com including the tagged book. Unfortunately, it‘s not available at the library, but look at that cover! I mean, a cat AND a corgi?!

so-soListen to The Marriage offers an intimate, fly-on-the-wall experience as a separated couple unpacks their relationship in a therapist‘s office. While the story is predictable and unfolds entirely through dialogue between the husband, wife, and therapist, its quiet intensity makes for an engrossing read. There are no shocking twists—just raw emotions, buried resentments. Though not a five-star book, it was an absorbing read.
pickMy best friend saw this book as an Amazon Prime First Reads and she told me about it, which I‘m glad she did because sadly, I don‘t think this would‘ve crossed my radar - it pub‘d 2/1 and I have yet to see anything about it on my usual channels 😔. It intrigued me so I bought a copy and I enjoyed it so much!! I don‘t want to say too much because I‘ll end up spoiling something, all I‘ll say is if my themes below interest you, READ THIS BOOK! 🤐
