I would love to get all of these books read. The only one unopened, as of right now, is ‘Listen for the Lie‘ ( #BlameItOnLitsy )

Between pick and so-so. I loved Rosie‘s introversion and bookishness, and the bittersweetness that comes with losing her mom so recently. Poston has written many books and more than 2 series. I‘ve read 1 and 2-now on to 3.

Someday Angeline | Louis Sachar

Angeline is 8 yo and wicked smart. Her mom died when she was very young and her dad is not sure how to talk to her. But she meets a few 6th grade classmates who befriend her; thank heaven for that bc her teachers are mean and have no empathy. Angeline just wants to be herself and be happy.

I won this through a Goodreads Giveaway.

A cute book about why things changed during the onset of Covid-19 for kids. It's narrated by Daisy, Rocky, Smokie and H-Dee, all dogs. It shows how before COVID we could go and do a lot of things, but during COVID how we had to mask up. It written so children could understand all that was happening during time.

Cruel Deception | Gregg Olsen
post image
Pickpick

Tanya Reid is a nurse and a mother. When her baby son, Michael, is taken to the hospital one to many times in a matter of months, the doctors and nurses start suspecting Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy (MSbP). It's the late 1980's and this is a new term in the medical field. Soon, Melodee Hanes gets her Trauma Team in the DA's office to start an investigation.

Tanya, known as Tonto by family, says she's innocent. She would never harm her child⬇️

Monica5 She swears it's seizures that Michael is having. Tanya tells her husband and family that Hanes is doing this for Hanes career, that she's innocent.

The Trauma Team and Hanes during their investigation learn that Tanya had a baby that died years before. The medical information on her is very similar to Michael. Then Hanes comes across even more shocking news.

A hard read for me bc I couldn't have children, nor adopt bc of health problems. To think that someone would hurt an innocent child upset me greatly. Of course, I cry when they talk about child abuse on the news. If you are like me, have the tissue handy.

Who knows if Tanya really abused her children with MSbP? Only she and her children do. Was Hanes out for her career? Didn't seem that way to me.

If you like True Crime and have never read a Gregg Olsen book, pick any of the dozen he has written and you are going to find: 1) A nonfiction book written like a story. Olsen is a storyteller and takes a different approach than most True Crime writers. Usually, True Crime books are written from a journalist POV, not his. 2) A well researched book. Olsen gets both sides of the story. He talks to everyone involved, or at least tries to, not all want to talk. 3) An interesting book. Everyone of Olsen's books as kept my attention through the whole book. I never once have gotten bored.

I usually love a John Grisham book, but was somewhat disappointed in The Exchange. I was expecting to see Mitch, who I will always picture as Tim Cruise, in a huge legal battle in court. Instead, I got a book about trying to free an associate. It just wasn't the usual Grisham book. I couldn't get attached to any of the characters, bc they were only there for a bit. 3.5⭐

Had an awesome reading day yesterday. I finished Tattooed Heart and I read Charm City Rocks in one sitting. Not sure what I will start today.

#LitsySciFiBookClub #ReadAway2024 #SeriesLove2024 This was a wonderful book! I‘m so glad I decided to start reading more science fiction again. I participated in buddy reads this month where the selection was by this author. I bailed on a dull fantasy and I couldn‘t stop listening to this one. This deserves a constellation of stars. ✨✨✨✨✨
