I enjoyed this more than I expected, as I felt it got off to a slow start. I saw where the story was going but liked seeing it all come together. A #Roll100 #doublespin double whammy! 🙌🏼

So glad to have finally sat down with this. Good insights for streamlining one‘s approach. Will definitely try to incorporate the principles into aspects of my life.

Frankel creates a “choose your own path” in working through this text & offers many tips for women and their approach to work. More so geared toward corporate positions, much was helpful across professions. This is not an “act like a man” text, despite what some of the Goodreads reviews might tell you. Take what works for you, leave the rest. Glad I read it.
I‘m enjoying this series…even if my son has lost interest. (Whomp whomp) ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Coming in under the wire with my #doublespin for January.
This was beautiful - such an unusual storyline in some ways…but beautiful. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My February #bookspin list - how am I already toting a “backlog” and we‘re just one month into the year?! #goodproblems 📚📚📚 I‘m quite certain I‘m not alone here. 🤣
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Incredibly well done, well researched look at Polly Klaas‘s kidnapping. Cross takes the reader through the entire gut wrenching saga with facts and reflections from those involved. This book sheds light on to all the bits and pieces (good & bad) that impact a police investigation.
This was from my #auldlangspine list…maybe my last for January, but I do hope to pick more from the list as the year goes on.
My next #auldlangspine pick intersects with my favorite podcast #MyFavoriteMurder as host Karen Kilgariff (and Petaluma native) mentioned reading this on a somewhat recent episode.
My January #bookspin and my 2nd #auldlangspine read. This was a fun romance with a lot of build up for our two leads. Definitely giving me the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days vibe, this is a love letter to those TV/movie romances we grew up with. I appreciated Cassidy‘s pop culture references along the way. My favorite character: definitely Grandma. 🥰
Next up is an #auldlangspine & #bookspin two-fer. 🙌🏼
This sounds like a fun read, @Kristy_K 📚
Kicking off 2024 with this pick from @Kristy_K for #auldlangspine 🥳
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My final read for 2023. Looking forward to diving into my #AuldLangSpine read tomorrow.
Happy New Year, #Littens 💜
#wondrouswednesday - Thanks for the tag, @Kristy_K 🙌🏼💜
1. Yes! I set a goal of 40 and am happy to have passed that with 64…and still a few days left in 2023. 😉
2. Lessons in Chemistry & Tranny - but my other reads we‘re strong at 4 ⭐️ (The Man Who Died Twice & All That is Wicked). December was good.
3. I want to finish the Thursday Murder Club & then dive back into A Series of Unfortunate Events & Three Pines.
So glad to have finally read this. I appreciate her vulnerability and honesty; so glad she is living her truth after decades of struggles. (And congrats are in order as she recently got married!)
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Safe to say that I‘ll consume all KWD media. 📚 🎧
Her deep dive into Edward Rulloff goes beyond the content of her first season of “Tenfold More Wicked” - I was worried it would be a “rehashing” & was happy to be wrong. #Roll100
I really want to enjoy reading this, but it‘s too dry for my taste. So I‘m doing the grown up thing and walking away. (I did see Oppenheimer, so I guess I kinda know what‘s up…)
Hi 👋🏼 @Kristy_K ~ taking a moment to share a little bit about me as we get ready for #auldlangspine (#auldlangspine2024). I‘m looking forward to starting 2024 with some of your top reads. 📚📚📚
@Kristy_K - I am so looking forward to kicking off 2024 with some reads from this list! 🥂🍾
Thank you - @monalyisha - for curating great pairings & organizing this fun kickoff. 💜 #auldlangspine #auldlangspine2024
My December #doublespin did not disappoint. I enjoyed being back with the Thursday Murder Club.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I wasn‘t sure I‘d still be able to sign up for #auldlangspine2024 - very glad to be joining for 2024. 💜🍾🥂
December #bookspin - easing back in after a bit of time away. This is always fun. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks 📚
⭐️⭐️
I was not a good match for this book. Glad to move it off my shelves after it‘s 6 year residency. May it find a better suited match elsewhere. #ontothenextone
Written by a member of my community, in Central NJ, The Ravens tells the story of three friends faced with unimaginable - but too common- challenges when one is assaulted by their HS English teacher…who happens to be one of the friends‘ father.
“I‘ve learned that lesson now, the hard way. You have to speak the thing that you‘re feeling, even if it scares you. You have to tell your story. You have to raise your voice.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bamford fans will love this.

Gracie discovers a blank journal that may - or may not - change the course of her teenage life. As the school year starts for her in a new town and school, how will things play out? Very sweet read.
Grabbed this from a donated bookshelf at my office six years ago…finally read it this month, thanks to #Roll100 - this is a slow burn story of the aftermath of a private plane crash with two survivors: a “starving artist” and a child of those chartering the flight. How the media twists the focus to make headlines, no matter the cost, no matter the truth. 3.75 ⭐️
You can‘t hold a black flame candle to the original movie, Hocus Pocus. The “All-New Sequel” was cute, but I‘ll choose Dani, Max, Binx, & Allison over any new crew any day. 2.5 🧙🏼♀️
The trailer for the Film adaptation of Eileen was released a few days ago:
https://youtu.be/wkMIv0xuzr8si=LxtZFADrU0L5J4XO
Part of it was filmed in my town, so an extra reason to be looking forward to this.
This was a quick read, and I didn‘t expect the final reveal (though I should have seen it, in retrospect). This was meh for me.
Open-door romance about a witch deciding whether or not she wants to embrace her powers. (The spicy love scenes can be skipped without missing any plot.) Hoffer is a new-to-me author that I know from growing up in Southern NY. I admire her making her author dreams come true & enjoyed seeing glimpses of our home town in her story. 🧙♀️🧙♀️🧙♀️

Absolutely fascinating
Thank you, @DinoMom for the #HappyMail that arrived today. #AThingADay - such a treat! 🤗
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Discovering that the BSC series is available on Hoopla is a delight. These are just little bites of comfort.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Sweet nostalgia with the BSC - I love the tiptoeing into romance as Mary Anne and Logan get to know one another.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a delightful story; one I enjoyed as among my first audiobook listens. I loved seeing all the parts come together…and Marcellus…a delight. 🐙
