I enjoyed this first book I read by Robert Whitlow. It's a Christian Legal Thriller, with a who dunnit as the main focus.

A hunting accident kills a man. His current wife, Elena, and his ex-wife, Anne, both are in for a huge payoff of his life insurance policy because of double indemnity. Soon a rookie lawyer is hired to help Elena get her money. A pastor gets dragged into the mess because the couple came to him for marriage counseling. ⬇️

Not a popular opinion, but I had high hopes for this book. By the time I was done with it, I was just frustrated with Cummins. She stereotyped so bad in this book. There are good and bad people in all races. To me she just focused on the stereotype that all Latinos are involved in drugs somehow. I doubt that is true.

Started yesterday, finished this morning. 12th book in the Emma Griffin FBI Series. The characters continue to evolve over these books. I would recommend reading them in order, as each book builds on the other.

I finished this last night. I have only read 2 of these books, but I am loving this series. Wait? That says something about me I guess. I like serial killer books 😜

The bodies are stacking up in this one. Loved there was a red herring that, yes, I fell for🤦 Can't wait to read the next in the series.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

So good. Everything I like in a book: Suspense, Serial Killer, Surprise! Thanks to all the Litsy's I follow that have read his books. Because of y'all, I gave him a try and now I'm hooked on another series 🤦

First book of #20in4 #Readathon. Maybe the only one I get read this time. @Andrew65

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

Not exactly sure what I will get read. My Aunt passed away Tuesday night, her funeral is Saturday morning and Saturday afternoon is a family reunion. I guess my goal is to try and finish at least two of my library books.

#20in4 #Readathon @Andrew65

The Holocaust should be read about and retold all the time, so we never forget what happens when one evil person gets control. I never even heard of these women before I saw a post about it on here. I listened to the Audiobook read by the author.

I loved this Christian Romance E-ARC I received from Netgalley and Harlequin Romance. Avery had it all and then her life imploded. Cole has never told her how much he loved her growing up. What will happen when they work on a project together? Will his secret ruin everything?

1. My family has a family reunion on Memorial Day Weekend. Saturday I will be doing that. Then the rest of the weekend, I plan to read📚😊

2. Peace for this crazy world, Wealth and a huge library at my house. Of course, I would need a bigger house for the size of the library I want.😂

I listened to this. It was quite interesting. It's the story of the American Spy, Virginia Hall, who lived, survived and even excelled in the 'man's world' of espionage and war in France during World War II. It's sad that she wasn't given notary during her life. She tried to work for the CIA after the war, but they just used her skills for planning, then sent other men to implement her plan.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

No, not really. Though I tend to read more lately from St. Martin's Press, but that may be because I always get ARC'S from them.

#SundayFunday @ozma.of.oz

Starting this today! #blameitonlitsy

Not a popular opinion, but I just thought this was so-so. I couldn't stand Bernice and hated reading her POV. This is a two person POV, Pia and Bernice. Set during the Spanish Flu Epidemic in Philadelphia.

Library haul from yesterday 📚☺️

A good book! I did the audiobook on it. It kept me interested, but the last 20% was the best to me. It's a soft pick for me.

First book I have read by McFadden, but it won't be the last.

😊 Happy Reading 🙃

I was young when I first read 'Little Women'. I think I enjoyed it more this time. Of course, now I am in my fifties and it read differently than when I was younger. We follow the 4 March girls to womanhood, Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth. It is a great journey with sadness and happiness mixed in, just as life often is. If it has been awhile since you have read it, I think you ought to reread it and witness how you have changed.

4th book in #MagnificantMay Readathon @Andrew65

3rd one in the Detective Margaret Nolan Series. They investigate a Hollywood Star's death that leads to more investigations. Sam has a decision to make for his future job wise.

I liked this one a lot. There is great character development from the first one. I hope to see some of these characters make future appearances.

Audiobook I am currently reading

I listened to this book. I enjoyed it and all the characters. I even laughed out loud a few times.

The rare manuscript of the Great Gatsby is stolen from Princton's library. A hunt is on for it. The question is can it be found before it goes underground forever.

I recommend this one.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

#MagnificantMay 3rd book @Andrew65

Number 11 in the Emma Griffin FBI Series is another good one. She receives a card that has her thinking of college and her friend, Julia, that just disappeared one day. It goes back and forth between the past and present, more than the other books in the series. I think this is a solid mystery series.

Clytemnestra is a great debut! Huntress. Warrior. Mother. Murderess. Queen. All one woman. I haven't read any Greek Mythology since college, but I recognized all the names.

Had to change my audiobooks for #MagnificantMay Readathon. The others two I had to put on hold through Libby. So now, I am starting another series🤦

#SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I liked this one better than the first. After the shooting in the last novel, Detective Margaret Nolan is taking some time off. She decides to meet another Detective for drinks at the Bel-Air Hotel. They decide to take a stroll through the grounds and come upon a grim discovery in Swan Lake. It appears to be a straight forward case, but that soon changes.

I love this series. Emma is back in Harlan trying to figure out the Secret Society and all the mysteries. Book 10 had a lot of twists and turns. I have so many questions. Ready for book 11.

# BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#SeriesLove 2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

I only got 26% into the book. It took me 8 days to get that far. I keep falling asleep reading it. Didn't keep my interest. DNFing.

When her cousin Dean shows up for an impromptu visit and brings along a strange missing person's case.
The case of Lakyn Monroe that he still can't untangle, she's willing to help him puzzle it out.
They get drawn into a string of murders and disappearances. Cases that seem unrelated, but as more clues are uncovered, more questions arise.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
#SeriesLove 2023 @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

Soft pick for me. The first in the Detective Margaret Nolan Series. This one wasn't really focused on her. More on two other characters that have people close to the killed. I will continue to read though.

I received this ARC from a Goodreads Giveaway.

It's a historical fiction mystery set during Queen Victoria's time. Investigator Fields is thrown into a case where there is a conspiracy to kill someone in the Monarch. If you like Historical Fiction, or Mysteries give this book a go. I think you would enjoy it.

#ARCApril @Andrew65

I only got 6 chapters read yesterday, which is a good.
Plan on reading this afternoon.

@Andrew65

Ugh! I finally finished this audiobook. This is NOT a True Crime Book!! It's a history of Gucci. The murder is probably about 1 1/2 hours. I would definitely skip it, wish I would have bailed on it.

#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

Not sure what books I will be reading. I have 3 waiting for me at the library, I am getting Friday. I plan to read 20 chapters bc I do better with that goal🙃

#20in4 #Readathon

Started off slow to me, but picked up around 30%. By the 60% mark I couldn't put it down. Glad I didn't DNF it. Soft pick for me.

#8 in the Emma Griffin FBI Series is another good one. Bellamy comes for a weekend and Emma wins a trip for 3 to a secluded private island. It's the perfect opportunity for Emma, Bellamy, and Eric to spend some time together relaxing and not worrying about a case. Of course, that doesn't last long before Emma starts investing a mystery. ⬇️
