so-soJanuary 2025 Book #11
This retelling for me is poor integrating and even boring. I‘m not the target audience but didn‘t like it. However, the illustrations are beautiful made by the author. 2⭐️
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⭐️
pickJanuary 2025 Book #9
This is the conclusion (supposedly) of Mirren Triggs trilogy) I know first book is already translated (The Snow Girl) which is a Netflix series.
I liked the conclusion. At the end we see a mature Mirren who decides to make a choice in her relationship and life in general. The case in this story is so sad. A body was found with his “mouth sewn” and a father looking for his son who disappeared 30 years ago. 3.8/4⭐️
pickWhile everyone is posting their May tbr, I‘m still posting books read in January 😳🙄🤷🏽♀️☺️
January 2025 Book #8
I enjoyed this book inspired in real facts and real people. It motivated me to read about what happened in that period of time before WWII and about these characters. I couldn‘t put it down because I like novels inspired in this period of time. 3.8/4 ⭐️
pickGeorgiana finds a body outside of Kensington Palace, and has to figure out how it got there and why. The deceased has been a mistress to many, including some of the royal family and members of Parliament, so Georgie's investigating has to be very discreet.
I have really enjoyed reading this series, but didn't really like the previous book. So I was very glad that this one had an interesting storyline again.
And, in an astonishingly timely manner, here is May's #ISpyBingo board!! As always, items can be found on the front/back cover, spine, or as a word in the title (i.e. if the word “Lake“ is in the title, that counts). If you'd like to see all the 2025 boards, they're here - https://www.canva.com/design/DAGVO4NctsY/-lGsmflP3sUW9FsAung8hg/view?utm_content...
This camp has *cabins* -- there is literally not a single mention of a tent in the book. So what do they put on the cover? HARUMPH!

I listened to this book, had I read it, my rating might have been more. I did enjoy the book, though. I was surprised by the ending. I did have one problem with it. As the Eight Perfect Murders is based on 8 classic books, if the reader hasn't read these 8 books, the book gives away the plots of those books.
😊 Reading 😊

pickEnjoyed this cozy mystery. Sophia's sister, Hannah, is getting married. There's 2 murders at the wedding festivities. There's pets who take part in the book. It's very family oriented as parents, ex's, and friends all take a part. A great series to read! 4⭐️
🙂 Happy Reading 😊
