First book I‘ve read by this author. I don‘t generally pick time travel books but I enjoyed this one.
pickFirst book I‘ve read by this author. I don‘t generally pick time travel books but I enjoyed this one.
pickThe chemistry and banter made this one a fun read!
so-soI finally finished this one today. I never felt vested nor bonded with the characters. I was curious how things were going to pan out but in parts it was really slow and felt like the author was just trying to put a bunch of scientific and research information in there without really rounding it out. It just didn‘t flow well to me. I‘d never heard of black cake before so that part was interesting. This one was just a miss for me.
I love this cover! It is so pretty and summery. My next kindle read!
On the agenda to finish up this one today! I have about 2 hours left in the audio.
I would love feedback from my Litsy friends on my new online bookish store. My husband @BobbyPenn is my support system and partner in this new venture. We are still loading inventory, but have a good base. What do you like to see in a bookstore? You can find me on fb and instagram @ pennpaperbooks or my website www.pennandpaper.store
Flowers from my garden for Mother‘s Day 💖 Happy Mother‘s day to every special lady who has mothered a child in any capacity! It truly does take the love of a village. So this is for aunts, teachers, friends, mentors, and strangers that have ever made a positive impact on a child. And of course furbaby mamas! 💕🐾
Seems like I rarely have time to pick up a book lately. so Audiobooks are my go-to right now. Started this one a couple days ago.
We‘ll I did something I‘ve been thinking about for a while. I launched Penn & Paper - a bookish boutique. It‘s still a work in progress and still putting in inventory, but I‘m excited about taking the plunge. lots of used books, some new and other gift/accessories. Visit me at www.PennandPaper.store
pickIt started out a little slow, but the pace picked up as it went along. I liked the way the dual timelines alternately came together to solve the mystery.
My first book by this author. I‘m only a few chapters in but I‘m liking it so far.
so-soNot exactly what I expected but the audiobook was enjoyable.
pickThis book was surprisingly informative for a children‘s book. What a classy lady.
pickThis historical fiction was inspired by true events and people. Parts of it was really hard to read/listen to because of the violence and inhumanity, but it was well written and worth the read.
pickFunny and full of emotion. Loved the chemistry between the characters and their sense of humor. Has the fear of losing something kept you from ever having it?? The fear of rejection is real in both characters for different reasons…
pickThis book was well written and action packed. If you enjoy special operations rescues and all the behind the scenes intel, you will enjoy this book. This is not my normal genre but I won this book in a #Goodreadsgiveaway and I‘ve been trying to branch out into genres that aren‘t my norm. For those of you who love thrillers this will be a “pick”. The audio version is well presented with the different character narrators.
pickShort and sweet. Cute and witty. Light reading. Great little breakaway read #chicklit ❤️ I‘ve had this in my kindle for years. Decided to go back and find some of my oldest and start reading them.
pickThis is her debut novel and in my opinion she knocked it out of the park! I thoroughly enjoyed the audio version of this book and the family dynamics of the two sisters working through their relationships with each of their parents and grandfather and trying to reconcile the hurt caused and received, with the love they felt for each. I ain‘t gonna lie- I teared up a few times.
so-soWhile this didn‘t start out being a favorite, and I put it down a couple of times and came back, after I switched to audio about a third of the way in, it became more interesting. 3 ⭐️
Picked this one up at a local bookstore yesterday. Needed to see what all the fuss was about. Will be my first read by Colleen Hoover.
I am struggling with this one so I switched to audio to try and finish it up. I loved A Gentleman in Moscow and The Lincoln Highway was good too (just not AS good). This one can‘t hold my attention. It has its moments but then I‘m back to mind wandering. 😶🌫️
Valentines‘s date ♥️ with my honey at one of my favorite date spots. The tagged book was $5 with cafe purchase! Win-win! #barnesandnoble #caramellatte #blueberrymuffin

pickI thought this was a good YA read - which is what I was expecting, so I was not disappointed. Be prepared to read book #2 because this one leaves you curious for what happens next.
so-soShort audiobook - only 5 hours. My mind strayed in the beginning, but it picked up a little toward the end.
pickMy first finished book of 2022. Really enjoyed the audio version. It got a little wordy at times, but Towles is definitely a master storyteller. This one is almost (but not quite) as intriguing as A Gentleman in Moscow.
so-soFinished up this Christmas ebook tonight.
pickThis one wasn‘t in the Litsy database, but it was a sweet little feel good Christmas story free on audible. If you are looking for a quick listen this will fit the bill #audible
pickI have seen mixed reviews on this one but I really enjoyed learning about Belle da Costa Greene. Even though it was historical fiction there was a lot of factual elements in the storyline and the authors tried to honor her by including as much of her real history as possible. There were some slow parts but the audiobook moved along pretty good. She was definitely a standout among women of her time!
pick3.5 ⭐️ yay! One more off of my TBR list. It‘s always interesting to read books set in your home state and seeing familiar places and locations mentioned. #localauthor #alabamathebeautifil
pickThis was recommended to me by someone that had just discovered this author. I wasn‘t sure what to expect but I very much enjoyed this audiobook.
pickThis one has been on my shelf for a while but the audio version was available so I opted to listen instead. This is the second book I‘ve read by here and enjoyed both. This is about as intense as it gets for me though. 😂
Started reading this one last night on recommendation. I‘m not a huge nonfiction reader but try to read at least 2-3 a year. Looking forward to digging into this one.
pickI have been listening to this on and off for a few weeks and just finished. At times I found my mind wandering, but as a whole I enjoyed the book. The proper writing and sometimes stiff characters was a little off-putting but then I remind myself of the time period and realize that Jane was quite bold for a female in that time period. I love that she was independent and had a mind of her own even before it was cool for a woman to have sass!
Finished up Blind Tiger over the weekend. It is definitely one of her better ones! Added it to my collection!
The book My husband gave me for my birthday was missing about 50 pages! I discovered this as I flipped from page 183 to page 233. So annoying! 😮 Since I was already “into” it I made a Barnes & Noble run at lunch time yesterday to get another one. #readinglunch #happyreader #amazonreturn #BarnesAndNoble
Got this #freebook In the mail yesterday. Not my normal type of book, but who doesn‘t like being a #goodreadsgiveawaywinner !?!? Adding to my TBR. Anyone read it yet? Thoughts?
