pickI normally zip through Douglas's books. In this one, I reached a point where I guessed what was going to happen and I couldn't finish. Therefore, I put the book down and picked it up again a couple of days ago. No surprises. Just as expected. The plot was good just predictable. 3.5🌟 #Read2025 @DieAReader At just over 500 pages this is one for #ChunksterChallenge2025 @Amiable #AllergicToChunksters @julieclair
pickI so need a guy like the MMC, Ford. Just don't tell hubby. 🤫😉😅 I loved the characters and the snarky banter between them. The plot was good too if a bit slow in places. Already looking forward to book two in the series. 4🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader
These are the books I want to read for May's #Roll100 @PuddleJumper
Not sure on Iron Flame (it is book 30) because I want to reread Fourth Wing to refresh my memory. However, book 3 on my list is War and Peace and you guys know that one is not happening. 😂

pickLovely story about teenage love. Great plot with characters to die for. Pacing was a touch slow but the story was so good I easily overlooked it. 4🌟

1. I had two dogs growing up. Both my dad brought home for me. The first was a shaggy mixed breed that the previous owner moved and couldn't keep. I had him from around 4 years till he passed when I was 10. Then a shepherd mix , another rehome, that lived until my sophomore year in college. As an adult 7 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 1 cat. Also, had a pony when I was young, and 5 horses throughout my life.

pickThis is age gap (10 years), forbidden romance where the MMC falls in love with his best friend's little sister. I liked it. It was all fluff. Yet, the author did a great job making me care about the characters. 4🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader

My answers:
💵 Yes, I still carry cash. A couple of restaurants and local businesses offer a discount if you pay with cash.
💵 The MMC comes from money and made a lot of money himself in the tech industry. Some his actions are greatly influenced by his wealth.

"Spring Fever" by Mary Kay Andrews gave me spring vibes and not just because of the title.
Out to lunch with my hubby. My drink looks too pretty to consume. Also, going through my Kindle app on my phone, trying to decide what to read next.
I scored this cute bone shaped basket that I am using for my #LitsyLove mail. It was $3 in the discount cart at Dollar General.

#SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader
so-soThis one was just OK. The dialog was cheesy, and the humor sometimes fell flat. Also, if I had to read another scene involving man-scaping, I was going to lose it. The first book was much better. 3 - 3.25 🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader
pickI liked this second chance story about a retired MMA fighter, Aiden, who lost his wife to cancer and is starting over as a gym owner. Loved how protective he was of his daughter. Also, liked FMC too. Always love a strong FMC. My only issue is, it got a little ridiculous how Aiden thought 10 years was too much of an age gap and how he was hung up on the idea that he had not grieved enough. Minor stuff, still a good story. 3.5 🌟
bailedThis maybe an unpopular opinion; however, I just couldn't make myself finish. Bailing at 35% read. I didn't care about the MC and the plot didn't get my attention. The whole thing felt like a slog. #HailTheBail #Read2025 @DieAReader
I was reading for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville challenge and was excited since I enjoyed Bardugo's other books. On to better things!

1. Tagged. This one pulled at my heart strings. You also have to read Keeping 13 because it is a continuation of the story.
2. Not yet. However, I might DNF " The Familiar ". I can't get into it, and I don't care about the MC.
