Well, I didn‘t quite make the 24 hours, but I had a great weekend of reading! I finished the two on the left and made good progress on the two on the right. They‘re all really good books, too. And now, time to get ready for bed.

I hope you all had great reading weekends too!

pick

I chose this for my author #LetterX for LitsyAtoZ. It was an uncomfortable story about a man who loses the ability to speak after a terrible head injury. The relationship shift with his wife, whom he can no longer communicate with, is painful and difficult to watch crumble. I felt for both of them.

It‘s finally perfect reading outside weather! I picked this book up at the library for my #LetterX author for #LitsyAtoZ. I‘m enjoying it! I think only one other person has posted on this book here, @Cinfhen 😊, and it‘s current Litsy rating is 0%! Let‘s see if I can raise that!

Melissa_J What a pretty cover! 5y

#17RainbowBooks #Indigoorvioletcovers Well, the lettering is deep indigo and there's shades of violet on the cover. Have not read but it is my intended X for #LitsyAtoZ 💜💙💜

shawnmooney Oh, but now, having checked almost consistently poor reviews on Goodreads, maybe not so alluring… :-) 7y

Cinfhen @shawnmooney crap! I did not check GoodReads before I purchased...hope it does not become a bail 7y

Cinfhen @ValerieAndBooks yes, it's my first Sue Grafton ?will I be "confused" as I'm jumping into the series?!? 7y

ValerieAndBooks Kinsey is an orphan, and as time goes on, learns more about her family and her family tree seems to keep growing. I don't think it's a big focus in this particular mystery and even so doesn't directly affect her sleuthing. This particular one in the series has really stayed w/ me because it was based on a real-life mystery. 7y

ValerieAndBooks So, in a nutshell, this one is probably fine 😊 7y

Cinfhen Haha, thanks @ValerieAndBooks 😘looking forward to reading this book! I HAVE sooooo many to get to, that my#birthdaychallenge reads have taken a major back seat 💺 😕 7y

Cinfhen If only I could read my #birthdaychallenge books out of chronological order😖 7y

ValerieAndBooks I know what you mean about reading plans going temporarily astray... I have the next birthday challenge book patiently waiting for me!! 7y
