I finished this one today sitting outside enjoying the nice weather. I really enjoyed it! It did drag a bit here and there but overall was well written, the characters were well done, and I‘d consider reading the next in the series. I‘ll get this in the mail this week.

This ended up being very good but it was slow going in the middle. I‘m glad I persevered even though it took me much longer than it should have. I‘ll be getting this in the mail early next week. My apologies for taking so long! @Laughterhp @robinb @BookwormAHN #LMPBC #GroupH

Another good installment in the #MurderbotDiaries #Series I didn‘t enjoy this one as much as the other two but it was still very good. Perhaps it was because it has been so long since I read the others?

I finished this one today. Another great installment in the #DresdenFiles #Series This one hit me in the feels. It‘s also the last one I have. I‘m officially caught up to where I stopped reading the series years ago. Guess I‘ll have to buy some more books. 🤷🏻‍♀️

🎧 Finished this one on #audio today on my way back from driving my Mom home. It was good. Kept me guessing. Maybe a little sophomoric but funny and lighthearted… well, mostly. I started the next one in the #series as I have the first three in one download on chirp.

🎧 Such a good listen! Well plotted out, delightfully written, and well researched. There‘s cross dressing, murder, intrigue, and a love story all in the Pride and Prejudice universe. Ms. Mary Bennett is a spy for Queen and Country. Whatever will she get up to next?

TW: domestic violence

1. I wanted to be a writer and a meteorologist.
2. I‘m a lawyer. I do write a lot but only boring things for work. I‘m still working on my first novel so I do get some creativity in from time to time.
3. Usually top 40 from years past or soothing new age/classical bc my job is stressful.

🎧 This was so good, I started the next one in the #series immediately. I‘m #AudioCleaning to prepare for Easter with the Moms at my house and this has made it so much better. As with the first book, it‘s well plotted and I didn‘t figure out whodunit before the end. It‘s also so fun to spend time in the world of Pride and Prejudice again. We get to see Elizabeth and Darcy, Kitty and Georgiana in this one too. Very well done!

This was really good. Nicely plotted out. A good mystery and delightfully quirky characters. It is headed your way today @Laughterhp

I got this one off in the mail today. It was good!

#LMPBC @sweetpealsd @gencmichael @ConfessionofaBookaholic

I‘m off work today and decided to take myself out for breakfast. They had my favorite multigrain sourdough available today so I bought a loaf for breakfasts for awhile. #Winning Just starting this #chunkster. It‘s a little weird so far but what else should I expect from Anne Rice? Lol

Here are some options for #LMPBC #GroupH. Y‘all let me know what you think! @robinb @Laughterhp @BookwormAHN @suvata

This book kept me reading, though I did skim paragraphs and sometimes pages at a time. The writing style was a bit overly dramatic for my taste but I did want to know what happened so it‘s a so-so.

#LMPBC @sweetpealsd @gencmichael @ConfessionofaBookaholic

I‘m planning to get this and 7 1/2 deaths in the mail early this week.

What did I just read!? It was a slow beginning but totally worth it for the crazy good ending.

#LMPBC @sweetpealsd @ConfessionofaBookaholic @gencmichael

I have a rare afternoon off and it‘s a rare 77° in January so I‘m reading by the local reservoir.

Starting this one tonight for #LMPBC #GroupE!

@sweetpealsd @gencmichael @ConfessionofaBookaholic

I finished this one today. Another great installment in the #Dresden #series. I really enjoyed it! Pic of Lucy bc I no longer have the dust jacket for this book and thought she‘d be cuter. #DogsofLitsy #PetsofLitsy

Enjoying some time reading out on the patio during the golden hours of the day. There are at least ten robins and cardinals rifling through the leaves and pine straw in my ‘natural‘ yard.

#LMPBC #GroupE Here are some choices for my book this round! Let me know what you think! Links on the comments. @gencmichael @sweetpealsd @ConfessionofaBookaholic

Would one of you forward me the email with everyone‘s addresses in it, please? I didn‘t receive it. @suvata

This was another difficult read for me lately. It was so so good though! I have to say, I‘m glad her mom died too. Holy moly.

I really enjoyed this book. It was emotional and such a good story. I wanted to know what happened next. I‘m so glad I decided to read it even though it was a little difficult for me. I‘m thinking that since I already have the next read for #LMPBC #Round15 #GroupT, I will read ‘I Am The Messenger‘ asap and get them in the mail together. This is my last week at a job I‘ve had for 14 years so I‘m prob not making it to the PO until next week anyway.

I just started a mystery/suspense group for #GroupE #Round16 #LMPBC! Y‘all interested? Sign up!

Finally finished this one! I‘ve been reading it aloud to my husband when he‘s driving us somewhere. It offers a lot of good advice about how to hold important conversations well. The authors also have a bit of a sense of humor which helps.

I‘ve been absent recently. Life has been heavy. I‘m not sure this read is going to help but it‘s next on my TBR. I received it Saturday for #LMPBC #Round15 #GroupT. Here goes ladies! @Kimzey @vonnie862 @Readergrrl

This was another good installment in the #series. This #audiobook has been making my commute better for a while now. Sad to say I cannot find the next books in the series in #audio so I‘ll have to decide if I want to continue in print. #audiocommute Pic from my recent trip to NYC. The main public library is amazing!!

This is between a pick and a so-so for me. I enjoyed a lot of it but got bogged down in it at times as well. That could just be my mood and work load lately. @vonnie862 This should be to you on Thursday. #lmpbc #groupt @Kimzey @Readergrrl

Hey #LMPBC #GroupT, did any of y‘all get an email with our addresses in it? Would y‘all forward it to me at acfoste1 at gmail dot com, please? Thought I‘d share a cute pic of my dog Lucy #petsoflitsy #dogsoflitsy @Kimzey @Readergrrl @vonnie862

My hubby bought me some books from my wishlist just because! 💕

Breakfast for lunch today. I took myself out to my favorite breakfast spot after helping my mom and aunt with something unpleasant… again. Hopeful for a good outcome and not to have to do this again. 🤞🏻 The nice lady at the counter let me order breakfast even though I got here a few minutes after they were supposed to stop serving it. 💕

These are some titles from my TBR for #LMPBC #GroupT to choose from. I‘ve got more, if these titles are uninspiring. I tried for a good mix of genres. Let me know what y‘all think. Books tagged in the comments. @Kimzey @Readergrrl @vonnie862

Guess I‘ll just have to stay inside and read! 🤷🏻‍♀️ 😃

It‘s time to sign up for #LMPBC! I started a group for TBR Backlog #GroupT. Come join us for #Round15! Check out @suvata ‘s page for more information and/or sign up here: https://m.signupgenius.com/#!/showSignUp/5080444aead2ca0ff2-l...

I finished this today at my favorite breakfast spot. It was so good! Makes me want to live out in the middle of nowhere even more…

Finished this one on #Audio today. #AudioCommute
It was very good!

Finished this one over my lunch break today. It was so good!! #LunchtimeReading #BookandLunch

Took myself out to my favorite breakfast spot after helping my mom and aunt out this morning with something unpleasant. If you need me, I will be reading until I have to go to work later.

#BFC2022 @wanderinglynn
May was better than April but not by much. I‘m really struggling with motivation to workout. I hit my reading goal though. I‘m actually 4 books ahead on my GR goal for the year. I‘m keeping the same goals for June: 3 books, workout, write, meditate most days, and 3 no sweets days a week.

A coworker let me borrow this after she read it with her IRL book club. It was really good!

Another good installment in this #cozy #mystery #series!

Starting this one next! I‘m planning to sit out here and read until it gets too hot.

Finished this one sitting outside enjoying the nice weather this morning. I enjoyed it! #LMPBC #GroupL @sprainedbrain @persephone1408 @TheSpineView

So glad to have some time to sit outside and read in this nice weather. Almost done with this #LMPBC pick.

A little #lunchtimereading on the fine Friday. I just had to get out of the office.

This is my #BFC2022 April update and May goals. A lot of life stuff happened for me in April. Including the passing of my kitty, Biel and doing a memorial service for my Dad who passed in January. So, I didn‘t do as well on my April goals. I was able to keep my 3 no sweets days most of the month and I walked a lot more. Keeping the same goals for May. See comments.

The Silence of the Girls was very good! It was definitely not my usual read and a tad gross for my taste but it was so well done. I did not finish The Gilded Wolves so I do t feel like I should review it. I just never got into it. 🤷🏻‍♀️These are my #LMPBC reads for this last round and will both be in the mail today. #GroupV #GroupL

Finished this one over my lunch break today. Then I went on a walk to the art garden. #LunchtimeReading #BookandLunch Book 4 in my #Dresden #Series #Reread

This has been making my commute much better for the past little while. I really enjoyed getting to spend more time in the world of P&P with one of the Bennett sisters. Very well done! #audio #audiocommute

I am so late finishing my second first #LMPBC book for this round. I am getting both this one and Rivers of London in the mail today. #GroupL #GroupV This one was a soft pick for me. I enjoyed it mostly and it could be my mood lately but I just couldn‘t get over that she was complaining a lot about getting to spend literal years living in France. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Finally getting around to my #BFC2022 March updates and April goals! @wanderinglynn

I did okay in March considering I was on vacation for a while and sick for the last week. I kept up reasonably well with workouts and no sweets days but I was by no means perfect. I would like to get into a routine for my workouts and would like to do better on my writing goals. I‘m planning to keep the same goals for April. See comments.
