This was #24 in the China Bayles series, but the first one I‘ve read. The author did a good job of filling in pertinent past information, so I never felt lost. I enjoyed the mystery, and the bits-and-pieces way clues were revealed. I will read more of this series. Set in April in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, this was a last-minute substitution for #SeasonalCozies. Hoopla snatched my original choice back after I‘d only read 2 chapters! 🙃
pickLast book read by this author until she writes another novel. I could say this was my least favorite amongst her novels. Maybe was that ending😳🤷🏽♀️ However, I like how she describes characters and places, very atmospheric. You feel that hot weather 🥵. I think the book blurb is prefect to describes the story: “three brothers, one death, no answers”👌 3.5/3.8⭐️
pickHeartbreak and Magic by Breanne Randall
What a fun book! I didn‘t expect much due to other reviews, but I‘m glad I paid them no mind. The magical details and recipes brought so much life. “River water is for moving on and sea water is for healing. Storm water is for strengthening, or if you‘re feeling ambitious, cures. Water that falls as lightning strikes will cause disaster sure as a cracked mirror or walking under a ladder.” Book #24 in 2024
pickMixed feelings with this short story? Novella? This is about Scott who is losing weight without “getting thinner”. Then there are some situations with people in the community where you see prejudices, discrimination. At some point, I was lost because Mr. King is talking about other irrelevant things, at least for me. But again, the story takes another emphasis, Scott condition, the race and that end...beautiful and sad😔⬇️
Copyright 1989 by Running Press, this is the tiniest version in my collection! Just 2-3 inches tall, it includes the whole poem in a hardback with a dust jacket! The font and greenery on the text pages is very pretty.

Type A Alert! I developed some personal rules for my 2024 Bingo cards that make the game work better for my life.
1) Even though I am doing the Bingo card, I will always make the #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin selections a priority.
2) Whatever number is selected for the #BookSpin will be automatically replaced by my book club's monthly selection. The title that was listed under that number will be moved to the #25 spot. ⬇️

Once I stop staring at this gorgeous cover, I‘m going to start reading this one! Just…need…to…look…away…
pick#24 in the Rewind or Die series. Out in the backwaters of the South there is a prophet named Darius of the Zabian religion. The one saying we are all aliens who need to return to our home water planet. And you can ascend there if you have suffered enough and of course, given all your money. This was mean and sinister and lacked all the fun the others in the series have. I still liked it. It‘s well written and punishing. Pick!
