so-soI had mixed feelings about this series going past book #10. And I still do. I was kind of underwhelmed with this one. Interesting twist but still a lot of vague, unanswered questions. So I‘m thinking there will be at least a 12th book…?
pickFebruary 2025 Book read #1 😳😬🫣
I started this book inJanuary but finished it in February for in memory of @sharread #Sharreadathon @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Book was picked from her litsy list.
I liked this book, the world and character. A Rumplestiltskin retelling. However, didn‘t like much the ending, maybe I was expecting something more dramatic and dark due to the story. But still I liked it. 3.8/4 ⭐️
#HaikuADay Day #10
A typical Saturday #Chatterday for me includes time reading & catching up with letters & writing in my local coffee shop. It inspires today‘s haiku:
Saturday Oasis
Weekend coffee shop
brews, breakfast, low-key bustle,
public solitude

pickJanuary 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️
pickShort novella. #10.5 in the Kate Burkholder series. Coming in at just less than 2 hours, I listened on my way to/from work over two days. Nothing new is added to the series, it‘s just an aside about an Amish teen that is run over by a car and survives, but just barely. Kate has to figure out who ran him over, and why.
I love this series. Painter‘s Mill OH has an oddly large amount of bad people living in it to be such a small Amish community 😂
pick#10 in the Kate Burkholder series featuring the ex-Amish Chief of Police in Painter‘s Mill, OH-a small town with a large Amish population. The case involves the murder of an 18 y/o Amish male who was beloved by the community. As the investigation progresses, Kate finds that he wasn‘t a nice guy at all, and many of the local Amish are hiding big secrets. Kate is forced to re-examine trauma from her own past. Really good, but hard to read at times.
