This was a sweet cozy mystery. It was fun to be part of the animals‘ woodland world, and the mystery kept me guessing. First in a series, and I will read more.

Like several other Littens, I chose this book as my January #ThematicCozies #Animal pick.

Thank you, @Chrissyreadit for sending this to me as a swap gift! 💙

The Burning: A Novel | Linda Castillo

Pickpick

It's always a pleasure to return to Kate Burkholder's world, and while the 16th installment had some plot twists that stretched believability a bit, it was still enjoyable. Love the characters in this series. Kate is gritty and tough without being obnoxious (actually, she kind of reminds me of Eve Dallas of the In Death series) and Castillo always writes the Amish as real people. It's also always fun to read books set in Ohio and actually know ⬇

Bk3 of #JumpStart2025 is done.This book, in fact the whole series, can be summed up with my favourite quote from this “You can‘t patch a wounded soul with a band-aid” That‘s Bosch, a Vietnam Vet, former tunnel rat now an LA Homicide detective. Fabulous series,both for the characters,but also coz you can feel the streets of LA in the writing. #BookspinBingo #OffTheShelf2025 #BookChain #LitsyAtoZ2025 #Pantone2025 #ISpyBingo #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

I really like Lauren Graham, so this was a wonderful audiobook. She talks about life, family, friendships, love, her acting career, the show Parenthood, and of course Gilmore Girls. I'm looking forward to listening to more of her books!

The husband & I have been off this week, and instead of going to FL as originally planned, we've hunkered down and had the most relaxing, chill week ever - and three days left to go!! I've been reading up a storm and have completed 6 books so far this year. None of them were mind-blowing, but since it's the beginning of the year, they check off so many challenge prompts 😂 So here's the skinny (sorry for the hosts getting tagged multiple times!):

All these books also went towards my goal for #JumpStart2025 to average 250/pgs a day (I'm actually way ahead!!!) @Lizpixie

And four of them count towards my #Read2025 goal of reading 100 books from my TBR @DieAReader

As well as my own challenges of #BookSpinBingo & #ISpyBingo

Lora is still playing pretend and her friends are out growing that game. She meets Alexa, an imaginary friend/ghost. The story's theme is about being yourself, holding on to the magic of childhood. Graphics good, story concept good. Overall, a good read.
Cover got a few spots on #ISpyBingo !
Make a great day everyone 😊

bthegood I think the so-so rating is an #unpopularopinion. A middle grade graphic but the way it is written I don't think my middle grade self would have appreciated it as I was going through that awkward child to “adult“ phase - my adult self does. 2w
