You don‘t notice when she walks in your office to bring you lunch, you don‘t filter your phone calls when she is tidying up your office; she knows your passwords and your phone lock screens. She has access to your bank account and manages your kids schedule. But the Secretary knows all of your SECRETS and she has the ability to destroy the company you‘ve built.
Picking up my hold at the library and the book smells like cigarettes 🤮@bookmarktavern #SundayFunday
It‘s a swashbuckling read that is part James Bond and part Pirates of the Caribbean.
A famous author is on tour and during her last stop a stranger stands up and walks out. The author sees the man leave and suddenly faints. She did something bad when she was younger and now the people in her life could find out the truth.
I enjoyed this one, even though I figured out the twist.
This biography of Tiger Woods was interesting. He is so private and I always wondered what his fellow PGA players thought about him. I enjoyed reading about the behind the scenes relationships with his caddies, Butch, Nike, and his family. You also see just how tough he is as he trained with Navy Seals and was interested in joining the military at one time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reading this Advanced Reader Copy but struggling a bit with the story. I want to love every ARC I get 😩
Beach weekend and this book is so good. Love reading while listening to the waves 💙🌊🌊
I've only been to Vegas once, back in the 80's, but these stories are intriguing and interesting. How did the little wedding chapel get its start? Want to know the back story about the major developers in Vegas? What about the Elvis impersonator who left Texas in a pink Cadillac to make major bank marrying folks on the strip? A fun read about the stories that make Vegas...well, Vegas.
It‘s spring break season here in Florida, so staying at home today and reading
I received an advanced copy (squeal!) so digging into this tonight
This will be published in May - Eszter goes on a vacation to a remote island in Mexico and dies. Her partner, Abby, was supposed to meet her a few days later at the island and doesn‘t understand what happened to her girlfriend. She gets to the island and begins asking questions, which is a bad idea. Lots of trigger warnings, but it was overall a good read.
I love a book that makes you scream, “WHAT??????”
No. Just no. I want to throw the book across the room, but it‘s a library book, so I‘ll treat it with reverence. I‘ve never wanted to smother a character more than Grace. I was hoping she would meet a violent death.
I‘ve been sick today so chilling with my Kindle. Hope all you Littens are having a great Saturday!
Felicity, Hannah, Grace and Alice have been best friends since childhood but something happened to cause them to not speak. Two years later, out of the blue, Felicity invites the girls to Boswana for an all expense paid vacation to celebrate her birthday. Once they land in Africa, they can‘t find Felicity at the resort and begin to wonder if something is wrong, since they are the only people there.
I‘m off for President‘s Day and my plan is to read, read and read some more 😎
The Compound is a house out in the desert where 18 young people compete in a reality competition by pairing up with another contestant. As they work together to solve challenges, they get rewarded with items from sponsors (don‘t forget to thank them!)
A couple goes into the crime lab and holds people hostage because the police failed to find their missing daughter several years ago. They threaten to burn critical evidence of major crimes until the police find their daughter. This is a quick thriller that was really good. If you like James Patterson, you‘ll probably like this one.
Not sure that this book merits the Reese‘s Book Club status. I mean, you only pick 12 books a year and it should be a stand-out. A jawdropper. Different than what you‘ve read before. This is a Scooby Doo episode. Well, without the dog and the villain dressed as a ghost. It wasn‘t bad, but isn‘t one that is a stand out.
Freezing here in Tampa. It‘s a blanket evening for sure!
Such a sad book from someone who really had everything until her dad died. The beginning of the book felt a little manic, probably because it was Lisa Marie‘s real words. It was kinda all over the place and made more sense when Riley became more of the narrative. I was surprised about her relationship with Michael Jackson. I really thought at the time that it some weird PR stunt. Overall enjoyed the book but man, what a tragedy.
Started this one on my lunch hour
Hard to read due to trigger warnings, but a very satisfying ending
Just finished this audiobook but it‘s also on Kindle Unlimited. A short novella (it‘s not listed on Litsy)
I see why this book had so much buzz and hit a lot of favorites list in 2024. If you pick it up and think it‘s too long for me (almost 600 pages) just know that it‘s a fast read with short chapters and worth every.single.page. It‘s a mystery, but so much more. It‘s really about friendship that turns into family and what you will do to help someone you love.
Clare and Marisa are twins who couldn‘t be more different. When they are in high school, Clare goes to a party and doesn‘t come home. This haunts Marisa as she grows up and on her 30th bday decides that she is ready to dig in to what happened to her sister. As she asks the people closest to her about that night, she realizes that they are all@lying about something.
What if the smartest high schoolers in the world don't go to college but get sold to the highest bidder? Their parents get millions of dollars and the teenager gets groomed to be the next "X". This makes for a WEIRD book, as Palahniuk tends to write, as you really don't know what's going to happen when you turn the page. I also didn't "get" a lot of the book, as I don't take LSD & it will also win an award for writing the word "avocado" A LOT
My #Top9 reads for 2024❤️❤️❤️
Not going to hit my reading goal this year. Not even close. My father in law passed away in May on Mother‘s Day. My mom had end stage dementia from June until August and I was with her during that time in the hospital, nursing home and hospice. I haven‘t been able to read or focus since she passed, but it‘s getting better. I‘m going to celebrate the end of 2024!
A woman has a heart transplant and she meets the donor‘s husband a year later. She begins to have feelings for him, but what happened to the wife to make her heart available?
I had no idea what I was reading until I was about a 1/3 of the way in. There were a lot of characters and didn‘t really understand the premise of this novel. I thought I was reading a thriller, but it‘s more sci-fi which isn‘t my favorite genre. Basically, a fog destroys the world and a bunch of scientists bunkered down on an island and a few were considered “elders” to help the rest of the village.
The sequel to KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE, this books starts about a year later when the 4 Golden Girls of assassinations come out of retirement to finish another job. A job that has ties to their first job when they killed a gangster on a plane. Someone in their organization is a mole and they need to find out who it is before they gets killed themselves.
I have an ARC of the sequel to KILLERS OF A CERTAIN AGE❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Misty for my card! I have such a heart for the Grinch (I FEEL him..lol). Hope you are doing okay during this tough season. Praying for you and your family. @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #litsylove
Do you ever read a few books that have a theme but it was by accident? I‘ve read a lot of stolen art plots this year 🤷♀️
Starting this one and it‘s a cross between historical fiction and modern day mystery.
True stories from law enforcement about what they go through, including the mental health toll on them.
