1. After stepping up when my boss quit with no notice, I got a promotion and raise!
2. My husband has been so supportive throughout the last month.
3. I found a mutual aid organization to join.
4. I'm so grateful for the kindness on Litsy. There's a lot of vitriol on my other social media, so this is a needed respite.
5. Just grateful for books and knowledge and learning.

I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it (some I‘ve had so long I don‘t even remember why!). Feel free to join in!

Raven's Prey (Original) | Jayne Ann Krentz

Oomph. I usually really like Krentz‘s stories - a good mix of suspense and romance with sometimes a dash of magical realism - but this one, nope. Originally published in #1983 , let‘s just say that it would not be published now (thoughts in the comments - it‘s a massive TW):

I tried to listen to the whole story, but I just could not. Take my advice - don‘t bother with this one.

Librarybelle Within the first hour of listening, the lead MC claimed the female MC repeatedly begged him to rape her. Yes, he literally says he asked her to rape him. Yet, somehow, she decides a few days later to sleep with him. I don‘t get it. Even more, the next morning, he claims she is his now, he owns her. That was the last straw. Sorry JAK…this is my least favorite of yours. 8mo
Librarybelle For sure, @dabbe ! 8mo

Susanita Ugh. Sounds like you made the right choice. 8mo
Mollyanna Oh my. That‘s cringeworthy. Hopefully your next is better. 8mo
CaramelLunacy Oof, I would have noped right out of that too! 8mo
Librarybelle @CaramelLunacy I kept hoping it would get better, or at least I had misheard. Nope! 8mo

Recently bailed on these two books. They were not giving me what I was expecting. I didn‘t want to force myself to read books I‘m not enjoying.

A typical romance mystery book, but very good. Nice quick read with some turns and twists. 🪷 March book finally done!

Twist of Fate (Reissue) | Jayne Ann Krentz

Originally published in #1986 , this one by Krentz does not quite stand the test of time for me. The possessive attitude of Gideon, the male lead, was a bit grating. Romance aside, I liked the premise of the story - anthropological findings and danger at every turn. Themes of list and greed too. #192025 #1986 #52bookclub23 #featuringoneofthesevendeadlysins

Cinfhen Some books really do feel dated! Glad you were able to check off a prompt 💕 2y

Decided to switch up books for a new one I just got. It‘s a little shorter and easier to digest. I‘m a month ahead so I can take my time on this one! 🪷

From water philosophies to murder to spaceships, this #1997 novel by Krentz has quite a lot of quirky elements. I listened to it, and I was not a fan of the voice narration. Plus, the male lead was just creepy - the choice of voice by the narrator did not help. Krentz builds great romantic suspense, and this one did not disappoint in the romance category. I have enjoyed others by her more than this one; just an okay read for me. #192025

Oh dear. This is the first book by Krentz that I didn‘t really like. Granted, it is book 3 in a series, and I have not read the first two, but it‘s way more sci-fi than her other reads, including her Arcane series. The arrogance of the male main character bordered on domineering and controlling, and I really did not Bond well with the female lead. It did serve as a good distraction while doing house chores, though! #19822022 #1989
