💖🎭Beautiful tattoos & the heartfelt stories that accompany them. I was less of a fan of the ‘diary‘ aspect than I would have thought🤷🏻‍♀️ An #ImpulseRead from hubby‘s 📚shelves🙃

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #ReadYourKobo

Disappointed that this was more like a novella than a full length series intro. The pace was too quick for believability & lacked true depth. I won‘t be carrying on this series.

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025 #ReadYourKobo

So happy I stumbled into this series in 2021🤗 It‘s full of excellent characters, intriguing plots, interesting twists & of course, all the feels💖🤓

#BlameItOnLitsy

Choosing to be more intentional with my daily reading, tonight I took out my French edition of Hans Christian Andersen stories. Printed in Italy🇮🇹 in 1970, this mint condition book is one of several in a collection I inherited when my maternal grandmother passed in 2008.

📚🤓Daily Intention/Goal: 45-60 mins

This was book 4 in the series &, somewhere along the way, I read this out of order - prior to my joining GR in 2013🤦🏻‍♀️ That being said, I couldn‘t properly enjoy the story. However, it did serve as a refresher & a reminder that I‘ve spent entirely too long away from the McKettrick family. 🥂to getting reacquainted with some of my favourite cowboys🤠💕

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Gotta say, I liked this one a sight more than ‘Triptych‘. I‘m still not a big fan of Angie‘s but, I‘m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

My February choices. Currently reading ‘Les Miserables‘ with #ReadLesMis (not pictured) & starting ‘The Bell Jar‘ with the #hashtagbrigade on the 9th.

A good read for anyone looking to take up journaling practice. The topic is a very familiar one so, I did a lot of skimming. I only wanted the tips/tricks/suggestions etc…

I did a bunch of highlighting & also came away with a new to me author I wanna check out.

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #ReadYourKobo

My first Gerritsen read that‘s outside the world of ‘Rizzoli & Isles‘. I loved it💖 The tension & the setting were excellent. I will absolutely be looking for more📚🤓

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025 #BookSpinBingo

One of my favourite Bosch books so far💖 I can‘t wait to see where things go from here🤔🤗

#Roll100

🤓My February picks; 📚physical books from my shelves.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025

This is a collection of stories from throughout Josh‘s life. They are not linear & although it‘s never specified or implied, I would hazard an educated guess that these at least started out as journal entries.

I found this to be profound, introspective & beautifully written. I hope🤞🏻to read more from Josh & soon!

#ReadYourKobo #ReadYourKindle

Made a few changes & shuffled things around a bit but, basically the same list as January.

#BookSpinBingo

Decided to tackle my February tbr lists a bit early so I can hyper focus on reading😝📚 A lot of the books were carried over from January‘s list but not all.

I wanted to love this, I really did. Having had no cable📺 until after I was 12, there was a lot of TNG to go around🛸 I‘m was & an a fan of Stewart‘s acting however this, for me was a dud. #HailTheBail at 30%

#ReadYourKobo #Wardens2025 #Read2025

A romantic suspense for heavy 🧠fog times. I liked both the female & male MC. I have a few more titles from this new to me author in my Kobo library & I‘ll be reading them in time. Not looking to add a new romance series to my tbr for the moment though.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025

🎉🤓 WOW! What a phenomenal listen. Highly recommended📚

#BookHaul

Brought a box of books in for trade this morning & left with these gems🤗 ‘The Body Farm‘ series is one I‘ll be starting soon. ‘The Simple Truth‘ was a random #BlindDateWithABook - #ImpulseBuy

Unfortunately, this #ImpulseRead just couldn‘t keep my attention, regardless of the subject. I‘m not opposed to revisiting in the future.

More #LibbyHolds came in on Thursday so, I‘ve readjusted my #audiobook goals for the weekend. I also have a few physical & digital books open as well that I hope to progress with🤞🏻🤓

Idk how/why I read as much as I did of this (182 pages)🤦🏻‍♀️😬 A train🚂wreck that just wouldn‘t💥. Nothing in it is believable & it all feels very superficial.

I won this ARC in a 2019 GR giveaway.

#Weekendreads #WeekendReading

Read 60 pages of ‘The Swap‘ late last night. A 2019 ARC from a GR giveaway - so long overdue🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ This afternoon is full of #Audiocleaning with ‘Out Came the Sun‘ followed by some colouring & reading for self-care.

#SeriesLove2025 #Read2025 #Wardens2025

#ReadYourKobo #ReadYourKindle

My January picks. ‘Harvest‘ is from my Kobo & the others are from my hubby‘s Kindle library, because the Kindle is new to me & I haven‘t made any purchases yet😂. Let‘s face it though, I don‘t need a “new” separate account to horde more digital books) so, we‘re just gonna his account🤷🏻‍♀️😂📚🤓

#Roll100

My entire 2025 list is comprised only of physical books from my shelves. ⬆️Here are my January picks📚🤓

2024 was an excellent reading year, even though I didn‘t reach my final GR/SG goals. I read a lot off of my physical shelves & purged/traded a bunch that I‘ll never actually get to. Audiobooks have been a godsend for both audio cleaning purposes & pain flare up times. 🥂to 2025!

All books from my physical shelves🤓📚
