pickThis has been on my virtual TBR for forever. And whatever I thought this was going to be, well, this wasn‘t it. But wow, was this ever good! A total surprise from beginning to end and it sucked me in from the get-go. It‘s a bummer that my library hasn‘t subscribed to any more volumes in the series. I just might have to purchase the physical copies! 4/5⭐️

And just like that, it‘s December! How are we in the last month of 2024 already?!? November blew past and I realized today that I didn‘t post at all last month. 😅 Despite my lack of activity on Litsy, it was a decent reading month for me. I was able to check off a couple of Litsy book club reads and I even got started on my holiday reading! Wishing everyone a fabulous reading month to close out the year. 📚🎄💜
pickI see that I‘m not the only one that recently finished this instalment for the #NancyDrewBR. 😅 And from the reviews of others, I‘m also not the only one that gives this a weak thumbs up. Of all the books so far, this one seems the most far fetched. The story kept my interest, but some things seemed just strange and pointless. Like the jealousy subplot, what was that about? Still, I give this 3/5⭐️ for nostalgia‘s sake.

I‘ve missed a bunch of prompts for #SchoolSpirit because, well, life. And I‘m not sure what the rest of the month will bring, but I‘m going to jump in when I can! Starting here… Claudia planned a #FieldTrip of sorts to the Met for her and her brother. A fun read!
Day 5 #Apple #SchoolSpirit
August didn‘t end up being a great reading month for me. At least I finished 2 books but I was hoping for more. Here‘s to reading more in September!🤞🏽

Day 28 #YouveReRead #AboutABook
These #WondrousWednesday choices are tough ones! Here goes…
1️⃣Not be able to taste
2️⃣Know when I die 😬
3️⃣See the future but only if I could choose when b/c I think being able to see everyone‘s future would drive me mad!
4️⃣Find the love of my life (it‘s worked out so far!)
5️⃣I can‘t imagine a forever winter so would definitely pick summer. ☀️
6️⃣Be invisible!
Thanks again for the tag @Monica5 🥰
Tagging everyone who wants to play!

I am EXCEEDINGLY behind on my posts for #AboutABook. So I‘ve decided that today is catch-up day. 😅
Day 10 #ABigFamily
pickBoy, Nancy sure did get into a close call there!😅 But our intrepid sleuth came out on top again! And the usual cast of characters (friends & Dad) were all there to help. I enjoyed the suspenseful journey to the solution of the story. There was a point where I absolutely had to finish the book, couldn‘t put it down. 4/5⭐️ #NancyDrewBR

3️⃣The Zinnias are starting to bloom! Better late than never. 😅

Day 7 #OfPoetry #AboutABook
A few books of poetry on #MyNeverendingTBR.
I recently inherited the first and last of this trio from my Mom‘s library. She loved books too! 💜
Day 5 #NewToYouAuthor #AboutABook
Confession time… I bought these books because of the beautiful sprayed edges. The story does sound interesting though!😅
Day 4 #WithMystery #AboutABook
I haven‘t read this entire series, but what I have read was delightful.
Not totally without hope, but super sad ending nonetheless. 🥹

Good grief. Even the books on the shelf below are all on my TBR. 😬
Written by one of Canada‘s musical icons, I‘m very much looking forward to reading this “rural fairy tale, coming-of-age story.”
#AboutABook #Published2023 #MyNeverendingTBR
I wasn‘t able to complete my #CoverLove post yesterday so decided to do both a #white and #weapon post today. 😉 I‘m finding it hard to believe that it‘s the end of July already. 😳
#FolioSociety #MyNeverendingTBR
If Bill Gates enjoys this author‘s work, I should too, right?!?😅 Actually, it was Bill‘s reviews that inspired me to add these to #MyNeverendingTBR. 🙃
