1. Absolutely! I worked in corrections for 32 years, I had to, right?! 😊 and I truly do, people change, motives are confused, perspective changes.
2. How the Light Gets In. The main character gets a second chance with her kids.

#12booksof2024 @Andrew65 late to the party but my favorite September read ❤️📚I didn‘t know what to expect and it‘s a crazy story. A woman takes over a hotel for a wedding, but an unexpected guest gets a room and ends up being the life of the party - the opposite of her plan.

Andrew65 Welcome at any time. This looks a good read. 1w

Tagged my most favorite of 2024, I waited 16 years for this prequel. ❤️📚 🐕

AmyG This was a wonderful book. I feel like I now need to read Edgar Sawtelle again. 2w
peaKnit @AmyG I read Edgar immediately after this one and was so impressed with the seamless story telling and also, I hadn‘t remembered how dark Edgar was. I found many of the Familiaris characters so joyful in funny ways. 2w
AmyG Good point. I found the book mostly joyful until towards the end. 2w

#Two4Tuesay @TheSpineView and thank you for the tag!

1. I think I‘ll set a goal of 100 books this year. I am curious what retirement will look like and will it mean more time for books? 🤔

2. I‘m looking forward to the John Boyne element series, I broke down and ordered the first one. It‘s not readily available in the US. I think I‘ll check with my interlibrary loan hook up to see what magic could happen.

@JenReadsAlot @Kshakal @BethM

TheSpineView YW! I'm jealous. I want to retire! Thanks for playing and Happy New Year! 2w
Flaneurette I‘m hoping for 100 also next year. It looks like the Boyne Elements are being released as one novel on September 9 😩! We have to wait sooo long here in the states- I‘ve been checking for months 2w
BethM Yay for retirement! 2w
See All 7 Comments
peaKnit @Flaneurette oh, that is good to know! After seeing @cbee reading the individual books I have decided I can‘t wait! I am hoping the library can help otherwise I may just own the series lol! I‘ll put Sept 9 on my calendar! 2w
CBee @Flaneurette I told @peaKnit about Blackwell‘s - they are in the UK but ship free to the US! And they have all three published in the series so far. I requested that my library order them all and they did - I would try that too if you haven‘t already. 🤗 2w
Flaneurette @CBee I thought about doing the Blackwells route but I strongly prefer ereading so I guess I need to wait. Thanks for letting me know tho! 2w

#TLT Thanksgiving Desserts - if I overachieve at anything, it might be sweets and dessert. I have tried 70 out of 100 of the desserts.
The ones I‘ve hated got more of a reaction 😂 and like @AmyG they were jello based! That said my aunt makes a wonderful raspberry cream cheese layered beauty with jello that I am going to try to recreate for my family to bring some magic to this Thanksgiving. I am curious about Cherry Coke Salad? Tagging All!

It‘s holiday trash season for me! 🎄 This was more raunchy than any holiday romance I‘ve read, so beware if that is not your thing, that said, the story line was pretty good. I might not continue the series all the same. It seems i prefer more yearn and a little less graphic sex in seasonal books 🫣🤣
