LOVED this! 🥰 Of course, I would! THIS did not disappoint. Loved the characters, appreciated the themes, overflowing with pie goodness, hit all the buttons this pie-baker needs in a cozy mystery #FoundFamily story. #Mar2025 Book21 #ReadICT Challenge COMPLETE 🏆 #BlueberryLimePie

Copper is excited to share my new-to-me book! This will finish the last category needed for #ReadICT Challenge: Cozy Mystery #PiesBeforeGuys #LitPie #iLovePie #CaresPieShow #DogsofLitsy 🐾 ❤️ 🥧 #CopperBopper

So, one of the categories for the #ReadICT (City of Wichita KS) Reading Challenge is a book that scares me.

I have been fearful of this book. For. Ever? A long time?! I was dismissive of the “girl authors” when I was a snotty snob in HS decades ago and NOW, honestly, them Bronte sisters scare me! 😳 I listened to Jane Eyre (Thandie Newton 🌟) and ❤️‘d it. Will WH give me the same reaction?

It was good to have a book that I was sucked into, making time, avoiding most of life distractions to read - because I missed that need, that drive. But overall, this book was just depressing about how hard it is to trust and react with love in a way that is not messed up by being human/messy. #ReadICT category multiple pts of view. #bookclub #LitPie #ApplePie
#Feb2025 Book19

Next up: for bookclub. Copper would NOT look at me.

Hoping that this will qualify for a reading challenge category “features a neurodivergent character”

A hold came in from the library!! I am excited, was in need of something to sink my teeth into. Yes, I expect it to hurt my heart but I am ready for it. I hope I am ready for it. #ReadICT #GraphicNovelMemoir #BelieveWomen #OhCanada 🇨🇦❤️

Hey. How are you? I hope you are well. 💖 I bought myself some flowers. Be calm, dance & laugh and read good books. 🤗

Listened 🎧 to this and watched the film 🎥 last night. Enjoyed both! I honestly can‘t remember if I truly read the book when I was in HS and I don‘t remember if I even saw the movie, but I can now FOR SURE check it off a list ☑️ #Feb2025 Book14

VERY GOOD.

I was assisting my local library have a tech class on how to download eBooks and somehow found myself reading this. Might as well continue 😁
