What a beautiful and profound book. I am not sure yet, if I have fully understood the meaning of this story. But it was beautiful and heart wrenching and has a lesson in it for anyone who reads it. Beautiful.

This book will stay with me for a long time. There are many amazing passages in the book that take your breath away, they are so profound.

Ahhh Priory of the Orange Tree has a Prequel!!!!

This was an informative book that talked about the very serious consequences of climate change on the city of Miami. The decisions that are being made by a multitude of groups will all have long term impacts on Miami's future. It's was insightful, interesting and heartbreaking to listen to this book and know that people will be harmed due to the drastic changes that climate change and sea level rise will force on the residents of Miami.

This book felt different then her previous two in the series. This story feels like it is gearing up for something big with all the characters she is introducing. The sex scenes were still streamy as always. But there was a major plot point created at the end of the story that I hope will develop into something throughout the rest of the series. It really adds to the whole story to have a strong plot.

Book one in the Sabine Valley Series starts off Hot with the oldest brother Abel who comes home to take back Sabine Valley, things get hot and heavy in the erotica novek with MMF and Enemies to Loves action. It's well done, exciting and enticing.

This was an okay read, I liked parts of it, there were parts that really grabbed my attention, but ultimately was left feeling not invested in the characters or the story overall and just wanted to get the book over with. Meh.

This was a profound read about how the history of America has been impacted by black women and how that same country has impacted them. This book takes us through slavery, Jim crow and after and it exposed how Black women were treated by White Women, Black Men and the wider country. Very insightful and thought provoking.

This was a cute room com.about two professors who have a meet cute and then find out that they are academic rivals. Cute, short rom com.

This book was profound in it's message of rest and relaxation and how this simple act of closing our eyes, or day dreaming can be acts of resistance against a white supremacist system that expects us to grind for capitalism. Excellent narration. I'll have to reread this book on a regular basis once a year so I can really comprehend the messages within this book.

First book of February.

This was a hysterical and very grounded in reality of romance and life. Excellent narration by the author. I loved this book. One of my favorite of 2023 so far. I am behind by 4 books this month and may be able to finish one more book before the end of the month.

Flying home to Denver and left my copy of the aforementioned.book on the plane. Shoot.... Now to replace the physical copy or get a ebook or listen to it as an audiobook... Thoughts?

Just started this audiobook, I am loving this book, it's very cute And witty. Love this book.

This was a profound read that asks you to reflect on the intersection of race, gender, patriarchy and how we all have privileges and oppressions. It's was throught provoking and engaging on a very hard topic around how men, Black men specifically are influenced by white supremacy and Patriarchy and how that shows up in Modern Day America. Well done

I am having a shopping day! First up of course, is books! Followed by Clothes!

There is a group of people, outside my local bookstore waiting for it to open. I love book people y'all. This makes me so happy.

This was a great short novel by Stephen King, I like the narrator for the Audiobook, I think he did an excellent job embodying the main character and their attitude throughout the story.

This was a beautiful, heart warming and heart wrenching story about an old man who has lost his wife but found family in his little neighborhood. Beautiful, excellent, marvelous, a delightful story about loss, life and beautiful moments that make us human.

I can't say enough good things about this book. Read it, it should be required reading for everyone. It's magnificent!

Thank you so much for my #WinterWonderlandSwap @forestandcrow I am looking forward to reading these series in 2023.

Wow! What a beautiful, heart wrenching book that helped me reflect on my own life and my own journey in therapy. This story made me laugh and cry multiple times throughout. But it was so beautiful in it's execution, read this book if you are on a journey of self reflection.

I have completed my goal of Reading 95 books for 2022!

@Endowarrior21 Thank you so much for my Creepy Christmas Present. I am looking forward to reading this book in 2023. #CreepyChristmas

This was a delightful and engaging magical mystery novella. Short sweet and full of serious moments such as using electric shock therapy to cure their "Demons" it was a excellent story for the end of the year. 5 Stars.

I am down to one book to reach my goal.

#BookFlood Thank you so much! I am looking forward to spending the day reading this book!

Excellent! What a beautiful story about friendship, video games, life and all that comes with it. The wonder of seeing life through a video game. It was profound and made me think deeply about life. Magnificent.

This was an excellent end to this story. I hope it isn't the end of course, cause it would be really cool to have other stories about other cities. Excellent book!

I have five more books to read before the end of the year! Yay! I might just make it.

Beautiful, cozy, wonderful behind the scenes stories of The Princess Bride from Cary Elwes, the actor who played The Dread Pirate Roberts. Excellent book. I loved that it includes the voices of some of the actors from the movie as well. Delightful.

Last #LMPBC Read for 2022. Here's my review.

This was an interesting premise for a psychological thriller, but it feel flat for me in a lot of ways. It didn't feel scary for me, it felt tedious to continuously read the unfortunate things that were happening to the main characters. The ending was good, if a bit sad. 3.5 Stars. Decent, Okay Read. I won't be reading the sequel.

I'll mail it out today.

Holiday Swaps went out!! #CreepyChristmas2022 #WinterWonderlandSwap #BookFlood

This was an enjoyable read, it reminds me of the Murderbot Diaries.. in terms of the tone of the main character. Really well laid out story line and plot twist at the end, overall great read. Strongly recommend.

Currently Reading ;)

This novel was phenomenal! Excellent, magnificent and so inspiring! As a cartographer myself I loved what the author had to say about my craft and why people make maps and the purpose of a map. Beautiful execution and a excellent story line that keeps you engaged the whole time. I wish I could go back and reread it and experience it like it was brand new.

As a cartographer I am so excited about this book. This is my first book for #DecemberReads #WinterReadathon

This was an interesting read, it had its moments where I was throughly engaged with the story, but it felt.flat at times when there were battle engagements overall 3.5 stars.

This book explores the four women that helped bring the idea and acceptance of Divorce into the mainstream conversation within the United States. These women's stories were rife with drama, gossip and beauty. It was so well researched and laid out in a way that makes the whole history acceptable. I want to take a trip to Sioux Falls South Dakota.

I am really glad I took the time out to read this book. It is profound, eloquent and beautiful in it's execution. I found it thought provoking. Wow! Emily St John Mandel does an excellent job of tying all the peices of the story together at the end. Magnificent and Wonderful. 5 Stars Highly Recommend!

Lyssa Kay Adams is always a hit with me and this was an enjoyable, easy read to get into and done over the course of two days. Cute rom com for the series.

Wow! What a history! This story needs to be shared and enshrined in American history. It's beautiful and excellent. Highly recommend a great book about the history of America's first paramedics. So powerful.

The gifts of imperfection, ensure that you will reflect on what Dr Brene Brown has to say and think through how to take what she says and put it into practice. Excellent book. Recommend for.folks who are in need of a tune up.

This was an excellent reflection on how aspects of Sikhism can transform people's lives. This book isn't about asking anyone to convert but is more a gift to think about aspects of Giving, Serving and Love and how if we work to incorporate these aspects into our lives we can have more fulfilling lives. Beautiful, well done. Loved the authors voice as he narrates the teachers of the 10 gurus. Brilliant.

Excellent story by Katee Robert, I am so in love with her writing and her ability to make you envision the scenes she paints with her words. Beautiful well done. Can't wait to read the third book in the series

Does anyone have any pulse on Christmas Swaps?? I am not doing anything for Christmas so having swap packages to open would mean the world to me.
