pickNot a story for the ages, but def a story my age. Lila is 42 and her life is chaos. I don‘t have her issues, but can relate to some of how she feels. Beautiful character development about people who make mistakes and learn how to work through them. Book #28 in 2025

Dimpsie invited some friends from the theater to spend Christmas with him in his castle located in a private island near to Edinburgh. Dimpsie was found dead near to the tree which appear to be an accidental death…Dun Dun Dunnnand the drama begins….
Quite predictable 😏 with some funny scenes but predictable. I enjoyed it as a holiday read. It should be a so-so but I usually enjoy these crime classic stories🤷🏽♀️3⭐️
I really fell behind on my August reading (and probably life in general). I am still working on the roll #28 (tagged) for August's #Roll100, which I am enjoying. I am also more than halfway through Fingersmith for August's #AuthorAMonth. Hoping to read a lot today and tomorrow.

pickI read this book for a Readathon I was participating and it was an opportunity to read an old book in my tbr. That means I was in the summer mood and found it okay. However, this is a quite typical mermaid story with a YA cheesy romance with a not so easy male protagonist. I found Galen likes to control others, what happen with these male characters? But I liked the world and plot in general. There were sad parts 2.9/3⭐️

Finished earlier in the week, this was my second #Roll100 book (#28) finished for August. Katherine Center writes rom coms that dig a little deeper. I really enjoyed the story & the use of face blindness (Prosopagnosia) & learning more about it. Many times I wanted to shake Sadie, our MC for her choices about communication & accepting help, but at the end I was rooting for her & liked watching her grow. A quick & enjoyable read. 💙

so-soBook 2 in The Mobile Library mysteries. I'm struggling a bit because, while the stories are entertaining, they're not written in a way that you can "solve" the mystery along with the characters. Information is withheld to make a bigger reveal when they figure it out. Israel is not adapting to his new environment at all. We should be seeing his grow as a person along the way. Can someone please tell me what SPK means in this context? #28-2024
