On Vacation, I started a couple of books but keep reaching for this one. Book 2 of The Infernal Devices. I really needed this vacation, was a stay at home and rest vacation.

Really enjoyed is cozy that takes place in Pittsburgh, my favorite city I've ever visited. The plot had all kinds of twist and turns that I didn't see coming. Good character development, I look forward to reading more in this series

Never read a MC/Rocker before but found it when searching for MC books. I was surprised how good it was, I was worried that it would showcase MC in a horrible romantic light but it showed the unromantic side as well. 5 more books in the series and I look forward to them all

Read this for my May Cozy Reading Challenge Bookclub.. Wasnt my favorite but I seem to be part of the minority. Everyone loved the talking Cat Marshmallow but talking animals isn't something I really haven't be able to get into

Why did I wait so long to start this series!!

I finished April with a thiller. This was a fast easy read. Page Turner that left me wanting more thrillers in my life. I saw some of the twists and turns but not all and it wrapped up nicely. Left in a book hangover so trying to decide what to read next.

Only half way into this book but I'm loving it, I'll definitely continue the series. Also it really made me hungry for some Asian cuisine, so today I picked up some from the local grocery store and made it dinner.. Dumplings are so 😋😋😋

Read this series many years ago and loved it. Recently stumbled upon them on hoopla and I choose the audio form.. Absolutely Wonderful, better than the first time because I have mature and been thru some things now. I can relate to it more. 5 stars 🌟

My first Goodreads won, and it was good one. This story is entertaining even tho I didn't like any of the characters. I pretty much know immediately how done it, but the quirky neighborhood kept me turning the pages and reading past my bedtime. Plus a great little twisty ending. I hope this book does well once it's finally releases in June. I will definitely read more by her if given a chance

Read all 3 in the Happy Camper Mystery series. Set in the Black Hills, South Dakota. Zo runs a tourist shop where locals and tourists came for just about anything. She has no family, grew up bouncing around foster homes She teams up with the local Forest Ranger to solve murder and along the way finds a few clues about her mysterious birth and birthmother, and local history. Very well written that left me wanting more and continues to get better.

I kept hearing how great this book is,and the audiobook was the way to go. What I huge disappointment. I hated the characters, every single one of them. The story line was boring, repetitive, and so stereotypical. Just sex, drugs, and rock and roll but no real depth to the story or characters so I bailed at 44%. Maybe I should've stayed with it, but days later I still have no desire to pick it back up

I enjoyed this, But I had it partially figured out so the ending wasn't a shock and awe feeling. I feel think his other book, The Silent Patient was a much better book overall.

I usually really enjoy James Patterson, but not this time. It was just so unbelievable, and nothing moved forward.

In A Bakeshop Mystery #2, Jules accepts an invitation to join a TV baking contest to help save her family's bakery. But she soon finds herself wrapped up in another murder mystery where every one has secrets they are trying to hide. Who was willing to go as far as murder to keep it hidden. I enjoyed this one as much as the first in the series.

I Gave it 3 stars, this series is one on my comfort pleasures. I know I'll get a descent storyline and a few laughs. Somehow I skipped book #8 so I'll have to back tracked before I move on to book #10

Rarely to I give cozy 5 stars but I did for this one. Juliette returns home to a small town in Oregon after a failed marriage. Her plan was to help her mother in the family bakeshop till she figures out her next move only to learn that the family business is in trouble. Soon the Tourist have arrived for the town's Shakespeare Festival, there's a wild forest fire, and now a murder on the loose. Loved it and movin on to the next book in this series

My first bail of the year. I spent hours and about 50% in but I can't do it. It's extremely repetitive, and the character development just isn't there for me. Has great reviews, major letdown for me

Last book of 2022, it was a really fun and lighthearted read. Who killed Santa on his sleigh during the Christmas Parade? Mrs. Clause, Rudolph, The Grinch, one of his elves?

The Cozy Mystery Reading Challenge of December book of the Month.

Fun Cozy Christmas Romance. Story about the love between two sisters. One who appears to have a perfect life and one has the appearance of being rebellious and carefree. The choice of 2 attractive men. A run down book shop but what awaits inside is a treasure. Appearances vs reality. What I didn't like was that it was a little long winded and a little too predictable but overall a good holiday read that feels like a hallmark movie.

Starting my first Christmas theme audiobook. New Author for me as well.

Really enjoy this cozy. Love spending time and getting to know the MC. Look forward to reading more of this series. 🌟🌟🌟🌟

My favorite book club's November Read. I found them on Facebook and been enjoying the group. Cozy Mystery Reading Challenge
#cozychallenges #Cozymystery

Made it 40% thru but couldn't continue.. Amateur writing, one evil ghost with a house full of ghosts that act more like Casper the friendly ghost, wild goose chase for his missing parents, was not enjoying this one.

Comfy Harry Potter PJ'S, Green Tea and one of my favorite Agatha Christie novels. Mid week Evening plan

My aunt gave me this Hocus Pocus coffee mug. She knows me well and I think I'm loved just a tad little bit. Really enjoyed the new movie, now they need to do a Prequel. Those 3 little girls did an awesome job

Who doesn't love a good Agatha Christie Murder Mystery. Perfect for this time of year

This book goes by these 3 titles. Corrag tells her story in a jail cell waiting for execution for Witchcraft. She's fled her home in England for safety and found herself in the Scottish Highlands. Where she befriended the villagers of Glencoe and finally found some peace and a place to call her own. But trouble soon arrives at their doorstep. I also learned about the Glencoe Massacre of 1692. Highly recommend this for fans of Historical Fiction

Decided to create a instragram for books, art, recipes. Just an idea but I'm open to support and suggestions

Wanted to like this more than I actually did. Great Plot but the character development just wasn't there for me. I'm undecided If I want to continue the series or not..My rating ⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

Another Agatha Raisin Murder Mystery in the books. Agatha struggles with the decision to date a younger man while solves murder. Really enjoying this series

My daughter taking a class in Holocaust Literature so after she was finished with it. I picked it up. I'm numb with emotions and in a book hangover from this true story of a survivor who was only around 15 at the time. Been awhile since a book has made me cry. "Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere"~ Elie Wiesel. ☆☆☆☆☆

Short interesting read. I been curious about this book for awhile and glad I eventually got to it. Not my Typical read

Didn't care for this book at all, weak Character Development and unlikable characters, I honestly didn't care of any of them, and plot was Meh at best. Some twist and turns but really unbelievable and Silly. Don't get the hype and a totally waste of my time. Only gave it 2 🌟 on Goodreads

Making my way thru this series again. Love Harry Potter and recently got a new lunch box

I've read a few of her books before fun, entertaining, lighthearted romances. It's what I wanted and expected but thats not what I got. I got so much more. What I got was a hard look at many social issues, Race, social classes, women's rights, and our criminal justice system. Do not let this cover and title fool you. Its about life's sugar and salt. One of the best books I've read this year.

As a proud Appalachian from SouthWest Virginia, grow up only an hour from Troublesome Creek, I love love these books. So happy to read about our beautiful Appalachian culture, society, and landscapes. Our stories are just now starting to get told. Picture of my new pillow that was gifted to me by a special friend, it's even personalized my name on it.

I love this series but this one was only ok for me. Agatha follows James to Cyprus after their ditched wedding. She just seemed so desperate for him. I missed the village and people of Carsley, and wasn't interested in this plot in another country. The introduction of Charles was nice and I hope he remains in the series. I think he's a better match for Agatha. I'll continue on in the series and find out.

After visiting Hogwarts and picking my own wand from Ollivander's Wand Shop in Diagon Alley. I remember how much I love this series so i decided to listen to them all over again from the beginning. #Ravenclaw

This grab my interest because it's so different about a polyamorous couple. I'm polyamorous and was thrilled to see a book about it. Well it was just so bad, I made it thru 25% but couldn't go on. But on a wild guess because polyamorous couples do not live this way, she's probably crazy stalking and delusional. But that's just my guess

Anyone else participating in the Big Library read. Unlimited copies on the Libby app for a few more days. I chose the Audio version

Made my way thru Book #5 of this series. My favorite so far. I think what made this one so good was the fact that the reader learns a lot more about Agatha's past.

Short Read, Only a little over an hour but glad I listened to it. I learned a little more about Agatha, her past, and her dreams.

After starting a few books that I quickly put down, I decided to listen to the next Agatha Raisin. They have became my comfort read. Penelope Keith does am great job narrating this great British Cozy series.

This is my 3rd Chris Bohjalian novel, after Midwives and The Hour of The Witch both of which I rated 5 stars. I enjoy it but was my least of the 3 and I will probably rate a 3 on good reads. Still will not be my last of his. The ending was unpredictable but very unrealistic and I found it humorous for some reason. Shes a very unlikable character that has a drinking problem which causes a hard fast downward spiral.

Ok, Probably an unpopular opinion but I've decided to bail on this one. The writing is slow and I've found myself rereading Passages because her writing style is confusing to me. Half way thru it and just not liking it at all. The picture is of My finch so if anyone has the app you will understand why he's so cute. My code is L8Z2HEL3VX is interested in being my neighbor

Finished and Enjoyed Where The Crawdads Sing so I decided to try this one. As someone who grew up in a strict Pentecostal household during the summer months when I went to visit my mother , this may hit close to home.

I tend to avoid hype up books, but my daughter who absolutely hates to read asked me to take her to the library for this book. Then she proceeded to fly thru it and is now insisting that I do too. So here it goes.
