I‘m ready for the #NoPlaceLikeHolmes discussion on 2/22!!

The third book in the Lake in the Clouds series was wonderful. March has built such a lovely community filled with characters I love for all of their qualities— good and bad. I can imagine sitting around a fire pit or canoeing with these people.

#BookSpinBingo #FictionalTraveler #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025

Aurora was first introduced as a supporting character in Bean Wishing For a Latte Love. I‘m glad she was center stage in this one. Another fun Coffee Loft book.

#BookSpinBingo #readyourebooks #SeriesLove2025

Give Sampson some well deserved page time, have Alex & Ned working together and throw in the M storyline and you‘ve got a book that keeps me turning the pages.

Finished my #BookSpin , #ThematicCozies , #FictionalTraveler , #ReadOrDonate & #NoPlaceLikeHolmes books.

#WeekendReading

Includes my #FictionalTraveler pick and the buddy read with #LittensLoveRomance 💙🩷💙

Well. That could be a problem. 😆😆

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

Book 5 didn‘t move the mystery along as much as I would have liked. Hopefully the final book not only clears things up but does it in a way that doesn‘t feel rushed.

Only 19.

There were more I DNF‘d or didn‘t like, but here are three I enjoyed:

1. The Secret Garden
2. Where the Crawdads Sing
3. To Kill a Mockingbird

Finished my #ThematicCozies

I enjoy this series and I felt like the full cast of characters were portrayed really well in this one. I‘m looking forward to continuing this series.

#BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025

I like cozy mysteries where the amateur sleuth runs a bookstore, coffee shop or bakery. This beachfront bakery series is enjoyable.

#BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025

Based on her husband‘s experiences, McLemore brought these characters and this world to life beautifully. Magical realism with secrets, lore and superstitions. Powerful and vulnerable at the same time.

#BookSpinBingo #ReadOrDonate #Roll100

#WeeklyForecast

If I actually read as planned, I‘ll finish a book from my #readyourebooks list, my library hold, my #ThematicCozies (also my #DoubleSpin) & my #ReadOrDonate books. Plus stay up to date with buddy reads for #NoPlaceLikeHolmes , #LittensLoveRomance & #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

This is book 3 in the Mountain Springs series and one of my #Roll100 books for this month.
I not only enjoyed this story, but catching up with the family members from the two previous books. The Christmas setting made me so happy I may need to read a holiday book each month. Happy, heartwarming vibes.

#BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025

I read book one years ago. I never got to the rest of the series despite owning them all in ebook. So… I added them to my #Roll100 list and each month I‘ll add another to my #readyourebooks list.
Summer at the Jersey Shore. National Toasted Marshmallow Day. Paint ball attacks on Danny and his friends that quickly turns into real bullets flying.

August 30th is National Toasted Marshmallow Day, so, naturally, we're celebrating.

Naturally!! 😆😆

My #52BookClub2025 progress in January.

Both of these are on my #readyourebooks list this month. I really liked Java Hearts. The other was ok. These were fun, light, hammock reads.

#BookSpinBingo #readyourebooks #SeriesLove2025

I loved this series as a kid and really enjoyed revisiting the first book for #EBBR. I had the entire series and both of my kids read them when they were younger. Such a fun series and format.

#BookSpinBingo #readyourTBR #SeriesLove2025

Finished these two for #AuthorAMonth

I flew through these powerful stories.

Word 4/5 (Book not in the database)

I love this place and these characters. Thankfully, I still have a few other Hilderbrand books to read. I also read this on the beach in St. John & loved that small parts of this book were set there.
This is my February #DoubleSpin book.
