Only 19 😣. Hopefully that means my scores will just improve from here. 🤞🏻

This is my #TBRtarot read for May. “Let someone else pick your book.”

Brian did a great job! This is book 7 in the Teddy Fay series & Stone Barrington put in an appearance. I just love these characters.
Stuart Woods passed away in 2022 & Battles has done a great job taking over the two series.

I read this in 2016. I love Harlan Coben & his books. When I saw that Nobody‘s Fool was a sequel to this I couldn‘t figure out where Coben would be taking us. Soooo, I reread this so I can go into Nobody‘s Fool with it fresh in my mind.
Typical twisty Coben.

I finished listening to our May #WithTheBanned #WTB25 book. I‘m looking forward to our discussion. According to the author‘s website, the book is loosely based on her oldest daughter‘s addiction to crystal meth.

1. I bought My Friends by Fredrik Backman.

2. Only here. I do give star ratings on GR & StoryGraph.

I‘ve finished my May #DoubleSpin book.
I loved the Cerulean Sea duology. So when my nephew asked me if I‘d read book 1 in Klune‘s YA series, I happily agreed.
It‘s not on the same level as Cerulean but it still had great moments that made me feel the story. I laughed and I felt the characters‘ pain and sadness.
My nephew LOVED it btw. 🏳️‍🌈

1. Sitting. Whether in my chair, in the car or even in bed.

2. Tagged. I love Teddy Fay and Stone Barrington. This is book 7 in the Teddy Fay series and I‘m loving it! Started it today and will probably finish it today. 🤓

I love Encyclopedia! Revisiting this childhood favorite series has been so relaxing and fun.

I got 2 bingos on my April #ISpyBingo board.

#SundayFunday @BookmarkTavern

I‘d love to try all the delicious treats in the Keeper of the Lost Cities series. 😋

This is a first for me. All five #WickedWords were in one book.
This book is also a #Roll100 #readyourebooks & #SeriesLove2025 title.

But, I still don‘t know the movie these five words describe. 🤔

#ShelfSweeper #4Elizabeth

#Readyourebooks @CBee

I guess the spinners want me to finish carryover titles from previous months as much as I do. Only #12 is a May title. 🤓

It was nice being back in Sea Haven on the Jersey shore. Ceepak & Danny catch a case when preserved body parts and skulls from 20 years ago are found in various locations around town. Is the serial killer a regular vacationer or a neighbor?

It also contained all 5 #WickedWords for the month!!

I didn‘t enjoy this as much as Let‘s Pretend This Never Happened. Overall, a good read and I appreciated her descriptions and stories of her mental health journey.

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. About 600. I‘ve been going through the ones I‘ve read and offering them to family & friends. The ones not claimed go to LFLs, shelters, etc. #Roll100 ( @PuddleJumper ) & #ReadOrDonate ( @julieclair ) have helped me condense my collection.

2. Tagged.

Thanks for the tag, @TheSpineView 🤓

Both read for #AuthorAMonth. I‘ve already posted about The Rose Code.
The Phoenix Crown didn‘t pull me in right from the start but I‘m glad I gave it a chance. Set around the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, it follows the story of four women. Last year I read another book about this event, Outrun the Moon by Stacy Lee (#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD), & loved it! I think once I stopped comparing this book to that one, it was more enjoyable.

I really enjoyed our April #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD book. The writing, the stories & (of course) our Sunday discussions were so good. I love how much I learn from these reads & discussions and how readily I jump into books I wouldn‘t have chosen for myself.

#WeeklyForecast

Some end of April reads & some May buddy reads.

#WeeklyUpdate

Books read this week include:
#LittensLoveRomance buddy read
#TBRtarot book
#Roll100 rolled book
2 #AuthorAMonth books
#SUNDAYBUDDYREAD book
#NoPlaceLikeHolmes story

#WeeklyFavorites

The community, the family, the stories. I love it all.

I read this for #AuthorAMonth & it was a solid historical fiction read. I agree with the comments I‘ve seen by several others here that say it was a bit too long. Overall, an enjoyable book & interesting enough that I dug deeper into the history that was portrayed here.

#WeekendReading

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

1. Sherlock. 💙🐶💙
2. Our anxiety stuffies. Sherlock now cuddles with Holmes during thunderstorms instead of hiding in closets. With the exception of Keefe (KOTLC), they‘re all #Sherlocked. Holmes, Watson, Mycroft & Moriarty.
3. My daughter will be home in a week for (most of) the summer. 💙💜💙
4. Her recovery from ACL surgery is going great.
5. Brian. Always. 💙💚💙

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

My May #readyourebooks list is ready to go. I‘d love to complete the two February carryover books but we‘ll see what numbers @CBee spins & the reading mood(s) I‘m in throughout the month. 🩷💚🧡💛 The carryover books do add a nice pop of color to the list. 🤓

My favorite:
The Hound of the Baskervilles

I won‘t be getting to anymore on this list this month. I read 12 of the 20 ebooks on my April #readyourebooks list including the 4 spun titles.
The remaining 8 will carryover to my May list. I was able to clear the December & January carryovers off the list this month. ❤️🤍🩷💚🧡->🩷💚🧡
Now to add titles and post my May list. 💛

That‘s April‘s rolled books finished.

#Roll100 @PuddleJumper

All four spun #readyourebooks books completed. Bonus that they were all picks. 👍🏻

Here are some of the books I‘ll be choosing from to read in May.
