It was just an “okay“ for me. I mean. It's not like it was bad bad or anything like that. But.... It just felt very predictable. I know a lot of information was slowly leaked out throughout but... I felt myself not really caring too much. The characters were just, eh.

Anyway, here is my new #BirdBuddy

This was just “okay“ for me. I feel like the story was super far-fetched (but again, what cozy isn't a bit far-fetched). Maybe because this isn't the 1st in the series? Perhaps because I doubt someone would go to those lengths for a home? Or maybe just... i mean. That house sounds so out of their price range. --- but I finished this super quick, so it did keep me interested enough

ElizaMarie @IndoorDame @dabbe @AmyG - thanks! We have this “bird buddie,“ which records birds that visit that feeder. So.. I get some adorable pictures of birds sent to my phone. It makes me happy to see them. This bird comes over quite often. And I think his girlfriend is coming over too. She isn't as red (so I think that means she is a she). Honestly don't know much about birds, but I enjoy them when they are being cute and dropping by. 1w
IndoorDame @ElizaMarie okay, that is a use of technology I can totally get behind. I love the idea of seeing the birds that visit when you‘re not there! 1w
bookandbedandtea Your bird friend is gorgeous! I'm tempted to get a "bird buddy" now. 1w
Velvetfur The 'bird buddy' sounds great! That is such a gorgeous little visitor too 🥰 1w
ElizaMarie @bookandbedandtea Oh it's great! I had gotten it for my husband as a gift (I can't remember the gift occasion, though), but.. he had been feeding the birds and doing garden stuff, so this worked. I share the app log in - shared account. So I can peak. Also, they give you facts about the birdies. 1w
ElizaMarie @Velvetfur I will make sure to post more. I could start using the # #Birdbuddy :) 1w
julieclair Such a beautiful cardinal! I wish the book had been better, but I‘m glad you still enjoyed it. 😃 6d

Picked this one because it felt May flowerish. Started it yesterday while my husband was at the casino #TequillaSunrise. Not feeling the MC yet. But giving it a chance.

julieclair That title! Love it! And that drink looks so yummy. 🍹 1w
ElizaMarie @julieclair The drink was next level! I was surprised. I had picked that drink because I ordered it on Cinco de Mayo and wasn't feeling a Margarita (well not that early in the day) - haha.

It was interesting. I didn‘t realize steamy Minotaur/Human books were a thing. But yeah. It hooked me. #BookSpin

PuddleJumper Apparently this is a 'classic' in monster romance smut books. My friend runs a book club for spicy romances and everyone has read this one 🤣 1w

Already created my May #BookSpinBingo list (probably will just wait for the numbers to be posted to make the board post, as I like to do a recap for all the other things read this week)

But I am excited to see what May brings!

I finished this one today during my retail therapy (I love putting in some earbuds and just escaping). It was super cute. And also made me want to do a re-read of a Jane Austen book soon :)

#FillYourCupFriday

Had a rough 3 days at work (4 deaths) I‘m exhausted caring for others and their grief. I need to do some productive things (which helps) and just process my own thoughts and feelings. Nursing is hard on you.

(Might add shopping to this - the car dealership is near target)🎯

ElizaMarie @Leftcoastzen @Dabbe - Thanks! I ended up doing some retail therapy :) Bought some cozy loungewear from Target. And then napped. I didn't get the laundry done, but... I have all weekend. Working on “Inbox Zero“ now. 4w

I will never work in a kitchen (I don't think I have the chops for it), but... it sounds like a wild place to spend some time. I am thankful for the amazing chefs in my life :) - (my husband is a phenomenal cook, and his sister is a chef for a retirement community).

Anthony Bourdain was an amazing man, he is surely missed.

I took a break from my chores to run down town to the bookstore for this one. Stopped into the used bookstore (never been in as they are never open when I walk by) and although they didn't have the book, I ended up chatting with the owner for almost 2 hours 😮.
