Found this at B&N yesterday! Excited to read it, as it‘s been on my TBR since I first heard about it.πŸ˜„

Anybody read it yet?

February update - I got to go to a book event at a local Barnes and Noble last month, had an awesome birthday going out with my husband, then a party and saw both my sisters - one flew several hundred miles to come. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes too!!πŸ˜ƒ

Haven‘t posted much here lately, but read 12 books during February! This was my last read of the month, and I really liked it! The alternating POV‘s between the 50‘s and present day upped the suspense. Both MC‘s were relatable and engaging, and I loved the look into what life was like for women in NYC in the 50‘s. It was a page-turner that I finished in two sittings. I recommend this one to anyone who loves a good story.

Wanted to post for any #writersoflitsy who might be interested. Iβ€˜m hosting the Read, Write, Grow book club for 2023! All the details are on my blog post: https://charityrau.wordpress.com/2022/12/31/read-write-grow-writers-book-club/

Here are my top ten reads of the year! Have you read any of them? Check out the reasons I picked these reads on my blog: https://charityrau.wordpress.com/2022/12/30/top-ten-reads-of-2022/. #toptenreads2022 #wintereadathon @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Calling all #nancydrew and #thriller fans - I started a book club on Fable. My goal is to read mystery/thriller type books that give Nancy Drew vibes - intrepid girl detective etc. I have seen a lot of books that I feel could fall into this category- possibly even some that cross over into fantasy as well. Not all necessarily YA either. I invite you to join if these are your kind of books!

Couldn‘t get through this one. The main character was immature and so rude to a person she had just met. I was a third of the way into the book and no crime had even happened yet. Had to put it down. #winterreadathon @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES

Iβ€˜m hosting the #fairytalereadingchallenge again for 2023!

This was on the slow side, but if you really like cozies, you may still enjoy. I tend to find cozies are a hit or miss for me. #winterreadathon #holidayreading @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
