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.

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. 💙💚💙

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. 🤓

#TLT @dabbe

15% for me.

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.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

May #BookSpinBingo list

This one has been on my shelf for 7 years. It‘s time to either #ReadOrDonate this one.

Isley just makes me feel good when I‘m reading her books. Friends to lovers trope. Funny and sweet.

#BookSpinBingo #readyourebooks #Roll100

This Rapunzel retelling was so charming. This is the first in this series (Meant to Be) that I‘ve read. I‘ve had this on my shelf for a bit. Christina Lauren are authors I usually enjoy so this was a no brainer pick for April‘s #TBRtarot
The MCs grow, open up, struggle & get their HEA. CL respects the Tangled story while still making it uniquely their own.

#SeriesLove2025 #TBRtarot #readyourTBR

My April #BookSpinBingo board is finished. 🤓

I read this years ago & absolutely loved it. This time I listened to the audiobook & loved it just as much. The story, characters and narration were all superb.

#LittensLoveRomance

Here‘s my pick for May‘s #ThematicCozies

@julieclair

April‘s #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books were both really good.

My pick for #FictionalTraveler for May.

Definitely not my favorite Picoult. I was wavering between pick and so-so. What I like about most of Picoult‘s books is that they make me think about opposing viewpoints and often question multiple characters and their actions. This did not do that.
Overall, a low pick for me.

I adore Jenny Colgan books. The setting & characters in Mure are just fantastic. Wonderfully written & perfectly imperfect & real.

This was a rolled #Roll100 book for me this month & it‘s also on my #readyourebooks list.

With this completed read I also completed my April #BookSpinBingo board. 🤓

#SeriesLove2025

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Yes. I feel better knowing I have cash for instances where it‘s cash only, the tech is down and other reasons.

2. There‘s a very wealthy character in the tagged book. His wealth affects him in the first two books in ways different than this one. Love affects him more.

I love these characters!! Another wonderful story.

My April #TBRtarot book. @CBee

This one is for my ebook/physical book May #Roll100 titles.

I‘ve decided Always will double as my #ReadOrDonate book for May since it‘s been on my shelf for so long.

Here‘s my audiobook #Roll100 titles for May.

I‘m also reading Summer at Tiffany with the #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD group. 🤓

I got 50%.

There were so many that I really enjoyed but here‘s the three I‘m choosing:
The Great Gatsby, The Book Thief & HP⚡️

Another #readyourebooks selection finished. This Delightful Christmas series by Ward is just that— delightful. Getting the good feelings even in dark times.

#Roll100 #SeriesLove2025 #BookSpinBingo

Another series set in Colorado. I have been loving this series that I started in February.

#BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #readyourebooks #SeriesLove2025

My mid-month #Roll100 update.

5/6 read.

The second book of the three McBride cousins and still ties to Eternity Springs. Tucker is another book in the Eternity Springs series that I just love. The group in Texas is great but I really love the Colorado backdrop more.

#BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025

#Readyourebooks mid-month update.

3/4 spun books & 8 total read from this month‘s list.

#WeeklyForecast

I‘m having foot surgery today so I guess I‘ll have plenty of reading time over the next few weeks.

A reread for #WithTheBanned #WTB25 and I still just love it. 💚

I liked this one. It captured me from the beginning. Fun & quick read. Friends to enemies to lovers.

I‘m so happy I reread this one. It is just so good. I‘ve never watched the movie. My daughter told me she hasn‘t read the book or seen the movie. We plan on reading it together this summer & watching the movie afterwards. #raisingreaders #readbannedbooks

14! 😦

At least I‘m consistent. 😄

A soft pick but an improvement on the last book. Two mysteries take place in this one. One is fully solved while the second needs some more details given to us.
