This book by Sarah Ashley was not in the database, I did suggest though. I enjoyed this little haunted tour through my state. Most of the legends I had heard but not all of them.

I chose this audiobook for #booked2021 #hear/here because being set in San Francisco it satisfies both options for the prompt. Sadly I didn‘t like it as much as everyone else does. Vida does a great job with the mean girls aspects of school girls which brought back so many memories. I got bored with it all though before the plot took some eye-roll inducing turns.

And that's a wrap on #Booked2021 Spring quarter!

7. Title includes Library: The Paris Library
8. Translated into 1st language: Drive Your Plow...
9. Set in a country where UN Peacekeepers are: An Unnecessary Woman (Lebanon)
10. #Hear/Here: The Subtweet
11. Musical instrument on cover: She Come by it Natural
12. Anti-Racism: All Boys Aren't Blue

Keep sharing your book choices~ we LOVE seeing what you‘re reading ???

This is the fourth in a series and while none of them have been as good as the first, I am still enjoying and continuing them. I think I read this one after too long a gap though, I‘d forgotten a bit of the back story which probably would have made it even better. Read for #booked2021 #hear/here - creepy murders set in the city where I live!

Loved this! Read it as an audiobook (which I highly recommend) .. I‘ll definitely be subscribing to their podcast now

#Booked2021 pick for #Hear/Here (audiobook or set where you live)

A #Booked21 #Hear/Here overachiever: I listened to this book set in an unnamed NJ town, speculated to be nearby Westfield (where the author was born.) Mentions of going down the shore and taking the train to the city felt familiar to me.

I was really hoping to enjoy this one, but it was just MEH. Fifteen year old Lucy's life is disrupted when she finds out her father had a brief affair and she has an 8 year old brother living IN TOWN. 😲⬇️

All the feels for this book! I loved this whimsical, feel-good, quirky fairy tale that left me alternating between sobbing and smiling. Lovely on audio as well. My favorite for the year so far! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#Booked2021 #Hear/Here

OK, folks, please don't judge me, but...I found this book boring. I love President Obama, I really do, but I'm not THAT interested in politics. I was hoping this book would be more personal. On the plus side, I enjoyed hearing him read to me!

ETA: And it fits a #booked2021 prompt! #hear/here
