Let's go, September! 🧡🩶🧡

Second book in the Illumbe trilogy. Story is with different characters but same place. For the trilogy doesn‘t have to read in order but it will make more sense since some characters from first book are mentioned in this story. A singer‘s friend died in a suspicious circumstances and he is receiving notes from an eccentric fan. He and some friends from his former band will try to investigate what really happened to this friend. (Cont) ⬇️

A beautiful but sad story about this couple who lost contact during the war. They will meet again but in special circumstances and you will see that encounter in the first chapter. Then, the story goes to the past to know how Lanka and Josef met and what happened to them. It is emotionally intense. Reading about Prague and Terezin made me remind my visit to those places a couple of years ago. 4⭐️

#9 on my read your kindle for july… @CBee #audiophile #readinggoal #readinglife

I‘m so glad the numbers were drawn for #readyourkindle because I needed something to take my mind off of worrying about a hurricane hitting me here in TX. I woke up with my heart beating really fast. Anyway, #4 is a Christian book. #9 is a romance between a CEO and an employee. #16 is a dark romance. #18 is an erotic story with a professor in it. I don‘t know if it has romance in it or not. I don‘t know if I‘ll read these this month.

Thanks for sharing the prompt, @vivastory

Book #9 of 2024: “Unseen Companion” by Denise Gosliner Orenstein

This is a YA novel but it‘s not an easy one. Set in a rural Alaska town, the book follows several youth in 1969. It focuses heavily on anti-Indigenous racism, from murder to residential schools to foster homes, particularly against Yup‘ik people. As is too often the case in real life, there was no happy ending here.

Here‘s my progress on my #readyourkindle picks. I read all of my picks. #3 was a mood read prompt and for that, I read Dark Ride by P.G. Kassel. #7 is the 3rd book in a trilogy. I DNF‘d the first book and decided not to continue with the series. #9 was a Kindle Unlimited prompt and I read Andersen‘s Fairy Tales for that. #20 was a mafia romance and I just finished reading it. It was my first mafia romance and I enjoyed it. It won‘t be my last one.

I love The Beatles. They were my first musical hyperfocus. I listened to the albums on repeat and read every biography I could put my hands on. But I loathe the song Yellow Submarine. It's such an awful ear worm!
