Grabbed this for myself when I signed us up for our second summer reading program. Turns out it just contains two I‘ve already read, but it made me remember how much I love this series. Going to burn through the ones I haven‘t read this summer!

A fun novella in the series! Listened out of order bc Everand is dumb and keeps suggesting them in the wrong order 😂

KathyWheeler Yeah — I‘ve noticed Everand does that and sometimes if you look up a series, not all of the titles will be there. If you look up individual titles in the series, though, the missing ones will show up. 1mo

Hahahahhahaha anyone else on Team Zero 😆😆There were maybe two that I “read” in high school lit, which meant I actually just used CliffsNotes. I am very much not a classics kind of girl.

ETA- I‘ve tried to read several like Austen and just really not cared for them.

Ruthiella Have you seen an Austen adaptation and liked it? Just curious, because I think that‘s also a great way to experience an author‘s work, even if it is an adaptation to a different medium. 1mo
BethM @Ruthiella I have! I generally have enjoyed several of these as film adaptations. I just can‘t get through the written word. 1mo

My hubs went up north for Easter weekend hunting. He very proudly surprised me by bringing these home for me. He doesn‘t read, but they‘re his taste if he would. I, however, don‘t want to read a single one and feel terrible about it. But come on man, you couldn‘t just go for the easy win with some romance? 😂

Between my chosen career and living in WI where they were caught this case has always interested me. I devoured this book today. I am absolutely appalled and pissed off that Missouri DOC decided she didn‘t qualify for therapy in prison. It made what I saw watching her release series on Lifetime make so much more sense. The tone of the book is excellent. She‘s either on her path to healing, has talented ghost writers, or both. I‘m rooting for her.

A few weeks ago Wes‘ 3K class took a field trip to the village library and parents could send back the form for the library card. The teacher was so cute: here‘s his first library card, big day! lol he‘s had a library card since he was one 😂 But mom win was him asking on the way to school if we could stop at this library after school :) it‘s a little village library and only open M-F so we‘ve never used it before.

This was my #readordonate from #mounttbr . Overall it was engaging, if not totally submersive. I enjoyed The Romanov Prophecy much more. I liked the idea of of there being more to Marian apparitions but intertwining it with Medujorce and what the big reveal was fell really flat for me. Too easy. 3.5/5
