Second book about Mickey7, I thought better than the first. Now I'm intrigued about the movie, although did not invision R. Patterson as Mickey7, would not have been my pick 🧐

Two short stories in one book. I struggled a bit with the first one but really enjoyed the second story. Both written well, just was more invested in second with the Star Wars references 😂

I do not read romance normally but this sounded interesting 🤔 needed to know how a flatshare would work exactly. Thought I'd get that info then DNF but I actually enjoyed it 😄 and finished it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very short book. A very short review. Great read, loved it.

CatLass007 Great! I wish it were available on Audible. I loved Circe and Song of Achilles. 9mo
BBooks It's on 68 pages so doubt they will make an audio version 9mo

"A" is for Alibi | Sue Grafton
post image

Got this at a library sale and thought I'd give it a try. Starting at the beginning....Very descriptive writing, got a little annoying but still written well. Story, characters well I wasn't invested much, think it due to the age, felt like could have been written for a male character but switched at last minute. Probably will not continue with the series but glad I read it.

I actually tried the audio version and DNF but wanted to give it another try and SO glad I did. Bought paperback and took it on vacation. 5 🌟 even with some of the end I didn't like, made me sad.

A Reece Bookclub pick, not my usual fare but wanted something "light" and fast. This was it, better than I assumed. Still unsure about last twist so 4 ? maybe 4.5. I also enjoyed the Greek mythology references. Great summer read.

A book that will have you stare at a blank wall when you're finished 😶 I'm a little glad her mom died too.

Found this series on a recent trip and LOVE THEM ❤❤❤❤ so much fun to read, and first few are very short novellas.. I am holding off to read next one because new volume comes out this November and don't want to finish them while wanting to read all of them, if you know, you know 😀. I may re-read them and buy physical copies 📚📚📚

Dead Silence | S.A. Barnes
post image

I don't read horror but got influenced by a booktuber I follow. Started while I was on vacation and the pace was great but I didn't finish it so switched to audio so I could read it while it was day out, because I'm a big 🐔 😂. Do wish I could have finished the paperback but still solid read.

Romance books isn't my usual genre but heard this read was not the usual trope so..... it wasn't bad and Julia Whelan as narrator was not to shabby 😉 definitely will give Henry another read

Hmmm, had some good moments. It was a memoir type book and as that okay, although I couldn't relate. Definitely have to be in the mood to read otherwise gets annoying, IMHO. Had this book for a long time, paperback so happy I finally read it and did switch to audio half way through 🎧📚

Self read by the author who never bashed anyone even when they deserved it. And when her voice cracked with emotion 💔 I cried for her loss. Overall a good read 📚

Three stars because I finished it and it had a good premise but the execution was meh. I listened at 2x speed and thought the narrator was a missmatch, she was good but not for this book.

The Bodyguard: A Novel | Katherine Center
post image

a bookclub pick and it confirmed why I don't read romance ?. The story was predictable and silly but my biggest pet peeve was the constant "tell me" instead of "show me" format. If she had a dozen different ways to take someone down then she should have done one of them instead of telling the reader she had 12 different ways of taking someone down, while not doing any 1 of them ? Anywho, not for me. Add I forgot to go to bookclub! ??

It Girl | Ruth Ware

*sigh* a bit disappointed, slow to start where I sped up the audio. I didn't like Hannah's self inflicted guilt over a man who clearly did things that were just wrong. And all the talk on how she was BFF with April but only had one "show me" time where April was nice to her, she was actually not a likable character. In my opinion, this book could have easily have been trimmed by 100 pages. ? Still a Ruth Ware fan but this one was so so for me.

Great book, did the audio version and narrator was great. Only thing I would have like is a separation signal between stories.

I don't usually pick up "romance" books but was curious because Julia Whelan wrote it and she narrated it too. Took a while to get into and chapter 18 dragged a little for me but overall a good read and Whelan's narration was great.

Why does YA for girls ALWAYS have a "romance", granted this was written less boy crazy from others but still, boy YA books don't have these themes ?. Anywho...pretty predictable so not sure if I'll continue with the series. Really only read it because my niece recommended and now she's busy with school so we couldn't "book club"... BOO
