pickKate Quinn is becoming one of my all-time favorite historical fiction novelists. This one is about 4 cousins who try to stay out of the men fighting for their chance to be the next Caesar. Although they do realize they have to fight in their own unique way to save those they love. #Italy #Jubilee #FoodandLit #letterq #AtoZLitsy @Texreader @Catsandbooks
so-soThis book left me feeling lukewarm. I read as an audiobook and by half in, I was listening with one ear. I didn't care for either of the characters and had to force myself to finish. 2.5 ⭐️ A lot of people raved about this book and the whole series. I don't know if I will read book 2. Are the other books better? #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader
This is my #DoubleSpin book for June. @TheAromaofBooks
panI was expecting a feelgood story about mother-daughter relationships and “found family”, but what I got was a woman who sees ghosts, superficial relationships and a confused and confusing story. This one wasn‘t for me, sadly.

pickSo much better than the last one! Thank goodness for no exploding oranges or exotic animals! Nancy and the gang are embroiled in a treasure hunt of sorts, with adventures that feature spooky houses, shifty people, and kidnapping galore. Fun, breezy read. #NancyDrewBR
So sorry for the late reminder, but discussion is Thursday in the AM US East Coast time!

pickI enjoyed this story of female gangsters in post-WWII England, but probably not enough to continue the series. Alice, the leader of the all-female The Forty Thieves, recruits Nell, an unwed mother-to-be, into her gang. After a betrayal that lands Nell in jail, she vows revenge on Alice.

This ebook is on sale right now and it‘s a marvelous read. It‘s the best #letterQ book I‘ve read since doing the #LitsyAtoZ challenge. I highly recommend it and I hope to read it again someday. Definitely an action-packed historical thriller.
pickAdorable kids book told from the dog‘s POV about the first time that Queen Victoria had a Christmas tree as a focal point of the holiday. Though it was Prince Albert‘s idea!

pickI enjoyed the latest installment in this Christmas series. Robin is a burnt out musician visiting his brother for Christmas and meets Ben, the town doctor with two adorable twin girls. They connect immediately but Robin has to learn that his presence isn't poison to those he loves.
This is very much a hurt/comfort story with a lot of healing.
