so-soThere are quite few “Are you there God? It‘s me Margaret.” moments with a “Clueless” feel. Not terribly deep but endearing.
Not my best color match for #Pantone2022 but close. Also completed my #Booked2022 prompt about a royal.

pickSuch a sweet and lovely story. Found family, awesome kiddos, and cute love story vibes. Talia the gnome was my favorite. 🌱🪴🕳 A great lighter read after the seriousness of “What Storm.” Also, the #audio narrator was excellent and made it even harder to stop listening.

pickThis was a difficult book to read, not because I wasn‘t pulled in but because the realism of the writing. This is a multi-POV fictional accounts of the Haitian earthquake of 2010 and aftermath. Profound, emotional, and book hangover worthy.

so-soOverall it was quite enjoyable but there were places in the book that I had to push through. It was a little spy, a little romance, some coming of age (or conquering her childhood?) for a grown woman, and a lot of found family. I think what put me off was how Yolanda seemed so immature for her age. Maybe I‘m just jaded? 🤷♀️

pickThis is a soft pick for me. The story revolves around 2 missing girls and estranged friends. The disappearances are resolved as expected. However, despite the predictably, it was a good story.
The #audio narrator was excellent. He gave each character a distinct voice.

pickA lovely cover image for this audiobook. And Rosamund Pike was a surprisingly excellent narrator. This definitely is one of my favorite versions.

pickWoohoo. Another #pantone2022 color down on my challenge.
This was a doozy of a story. I love how the twist starts out so subtle and then 💥 bam - of course that‘s what‘s going on, why didn‘t I think of that sooner. Except, who, other than the author, would ever have thought of that ending. Maybe that‘s just me. 🤔

so-soThe audio narrator was good but the story was just too slow and off kilter. I had a hard time deciding if she was having exhaustive conversations with herself, with God, with herself talking for God.

pickThis reminded me of a more adult version “Go Ask Alice.” It was a read quick and kept me interested all the way through. #Pantone2022 #SuperSonic #Booked2022 Cult or religion #2022Book3 #christyread
