pickThis is the last installment of the aunties series. It was cute, full of the antics we‘ve come to love. I think book two was my favorite of the three, but they‘re all fun, easy reads.

Thanks to the generous folks at Bibliolifestyle & Blackstone Publishing for 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞 by 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧, published 𝘚𝘦𝘱𝘵. 𝟷𝟶, 𝟸𝟶𝟸𝟺. This fast-paced thriller opens with action, intriuging characters, & distinctive settings, immediately drawing readers into an engrossing mystery. I stayed up way too late because I just had to know how it was going to end!⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

My first thought for today‘s #Bus prompt was the tagged book (reprinted under Five Were Missing). Five teens are kidnapped from their school bus. I read & reread all of Lois Duncan‘s books & this one was a favorite. Here‘s some of the covers that featured a bus. 🚌
pickFinished yesterday but forgot to post until now because I was preoccupied with today‘s knee surgery. A woman training to be a forensic pathologist learns through DNA that she‘s the infant who went missing 30 years ago. She‘s thrust into a mystery involving her birth family. Chapters are short, the action moves quickly—although some scenarios strain credibility. I guessed some of the ending early on, but there was an extra twist that surprised me.
And ran home. And the king and queen gave her a million hugs and kisses and everybody was happy again. The end.
Thank you. Good-bye. I‘ll sit down now.

pickWhat a great, suspenseful story! I listened to the last half of the book just yesterday alone! You know a book is good when you‘re looking for excuses to do things around the house so you can listen! It was also the 1st time a book was so gripping I just sat down & did nothing else but listen! There was a lot of time and POV switching but I wasn‘t confused at all. I will definitely be reading more of Donlea‘s books! I highly recommend!
That‘s just how friendships become in your thirties, I think as I head south. The love is still there, but the urgency for that constant companionship fades, replaced by something else—romantic partnerships, yes, but maybe we also just get tired 👯♀️
pickThis novella is #2.5 in the 'Ripe Through Time' series. The premise of the series is that Mallory, a homicide detective from the 21st century, has time travelled to 1869 Scotland, into another woman's body. I have thoroughly enjoyed these books and this one only added to the fun. It features the 12 year old housemaid Alice where an attempt to help out her older sister gets her and Mallory in a bit of a jam. 4/5 stars!
