The Villa: A Novel | Rachel Hawkins

Without giving anything away this story was a mystery within a mystery. The book went back and forth between Emily in the present day and Mari in 1974. The Villa has just the right amount of thriller and drama mix.

Thanks to the publisher for an early ARC.

The Dark Lake | Sarah Bailey

I loved this book, very twisty.

Set in Australia at Christmas time during a heat wave (their summer is the opposite of countries north of the equator); Gemma is the lead detective in a murder of a beloved local teacher. Gamma also went to High School with the murder victim.

The main character, Henna, was a mess but I still rooted for her.

Loved the ending!

@crazyspine - do you want this book?

BFCR2 Wk#6 check-in. 4 out 6 books read (1 was an audiobook). I lost my momentum after I got back from vacation at the end of June. Only made my step goal 1 of 6 weeks. But I've lost weight and can fit in 2 pairs of shorts from last summer. Drinking more water than wine. So small successes. #BOTM

No excuses but the life of a work at home techie makes it very hard. On a side note I've lost 11 lbs during this time period so I'm claiming success, lol.

#BookFitnessChallenge @wanderinglynn @crazyspine

It's been a hard week, back from vacation on Sun; book 2.25 of 6. Back to work on Mon. Got sun poisoning on my lips on vacay. Pain in such a small area but I actually felt very sick. My company was the only company in the US open on Friday, longest day ever, ugh.

Still reading my same book from Saturday. Step average around 6k goal was avg of 8k.

Good news Nine Perfect Stranger is good so far!

I loved this book! Ihad no idea that it was a translation from Swedish but it was very well done! A "normal" average family has their lives change overnight when the parents get a call that their 18 year old daughter is being held as a murder suspect. #bookfitnesschallenge2 This is book#1 out of #6.

So excited for my first fitness challenge!

My reading goals are six books and an average of 8000 steps a day (I'll average them each week). I work at home some some days I'm lucky to get in 2000 steps so an average is my best bet. I'm on vacation this week so that will help with the reading goal.

Good luck to everyone on their goals!

Dawnrod1970 Good luck! This is my first challenge. I also work from home which definitely makes some days tougher getting the steps in. 5y
Honeybeegirl Good luck! Even a full day of teaching (when school was in session) would leave me with about 6k so I would need to supplement with more activity! You got this!! 5y

The Winter Sister was so good. I started it yesterday and finished it today.

When Slyvie was 13 her 17 year old sister went missing. Three days later she was found dead by strangulation. Slyvie's close relationship with her Mother fell apart after her sister's death. Sylvie left the area when she turned 18. Fast-forward 14 years and she's back home to tend to her dying mother. Will she find closure during the visit? #BOTM #sickday #wintermystery
