I‘ve been busy listening to a few beachy audiobooks, and absent from Litsy. Volunteering is hard work.

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Absolutely loved this book. It was hilarious—really did make me laugh embarrassingly in public—and was the perfect book for me at this point in my life.

Book number 2 in the series, and I loved it so much more than the first! I‘m so glad I stuck it out and kept reading the series, because I really liked this book. A lot more action, exciting plot, interesting characters, and overall fun to read. I still don‘t like the audiobook narrator, and the characters are undoubtedly flawed, but I‘m really looking forward to the next books.

#bookishbingo: Set in a vineyard (really a farm, but 🤷🏽‍♀️)

I spent pretty much all of my sleep time last night reading this, so I guess I do still like this series. Onwards with the reread/catch up.

#BookishBingo: Spy protagonist
#RippedBodiceBingo: Happily ever after

Wow. This book was a bit of a whirlwind for me. It took me a while to get into it—petty parent drama, ugh—but it was so engaging. I just got sucked into it, and I couldn‘t put it down until I‘d read the whole story. The balance of petty drama and serious problems was amazing, and I loved the double mystery of an unknown killer AND victim. I was really impressed with this book!

The group ends up in yet another realm they've never been to. This one was a little tough because there were a lot of Chinese-influenced bits - names, words, customs, etc. - that I wasn't familiar with. It was definitely interesting, with some new and exciting information. Can't wait to see what happens in the next one.

#RippedBodiceBingo: Dragons

This was an interesting WWII read. I liked the characters and the story. I felt like it was mediocre compared to the amazing hype surrounding it, but overall it was a good book!
