2✨ Okay… ummm. Second book in the series and it took me a day and checked on other peoples spoiled reviews so I could figure out what the heck I just read. I‘m not sure what was actually happening and not sure who actually died. The alien downloaded race I still don‘t quite understand, and my emotions were pulled all over the place. I think the point was the aliens are messing with people so they either turn on each other or give info away. 🤷‍♀️

3✨ I have to say that I liked this second book better than the first one. We follow Harrison and the newly widowed Katelyn. They were in the first book as the drummer and friends of the love birds in the first book. Mason and Josie are in this story too. It‘s all about finding new love when loss overwhelms you, and deception kept your walls up for several years. #SeriesLove Read the first one in #LittensLoveRomanace

Got a cute background from a Google search of Istanbul, Turkey to show off our version of a Turkish flatbread pizza (that our young kids will eat). 🇹🇷🤣😍💛 #FoodandLit

I got halfway through this thanks to buddy reading, but I just don‘t want to read these inner thoughts anymore. The main character is likely going through menopause, but is not being true to herself. She for whatever reason does not talk about it with her husband and some of the moments are so out there it‘s uncomfortable. I appreciate what I think the author is trying to portray with a woman‘s changing body as she gets older, and an inner voice.

Nothing like a classic and way too much sugar after dinner. 🤤😅🥰💛

When in Tucson I always go to Bookman‘s because of their extremely affordable used books. 🤩 Plus with young readers we can get them some cute reads. I got some Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, A copy of Jane Eyre, some Stephen King for #LosersClub, and some reads I‘m really excited for. 🥰 Yay #BookHaul

3✨ As most seconds books, I didn‘t like this as much as the first one. It still was pretty creepy involving a hypnotist causing the campers to do horror things. It ended on a sadish note too. 😭 #SeriesLove @Andrew65 @TheSpineView

4✨ This was really good! Yarvi just wants to take his ministers test when his father and brother suddenly die. Feeling like half a man because of his weak hand he comes to the throne. I suspected the first betrayal, but there was a few reveals that I did not expect. I loved the adventure and the unlikely friends. There were sad moments, shocking moments, and it all tied nicely together. #FableBR

4✨ I remember this one more than some of the other books in the series. Maybe not the plot, but when I saw the cover. Nancy, Bess, and George find themselves on two sides of this mystery because Mr. Drew is helping and old man Asa Sidney rewrite his will. When the results of what the will now says comes out they are shocked. This was a really fun mystery to read. #NancyBR @Librarybelle

3 ✨ This book is sad… we have a lonely man who meets and helps a lonely lady one night. She has a lover already, but they are companions over a few nights. When one night her lover comes back our narrator is forgotten. 😭💔

2✨ While I technically bailed on this one it was a collection of short stories. The problem is as mysteries it was not satisfying to try to solve the mystery because there was not a lot of information provided. Poirot being as amazing as he is can solve mysteries without much, but I would have at least like to have a chance. 😅 #FableBR

5✨ I got this one from #OUABC and like many of the books from them it‘s one of the most beautiful books I‘ve read. We follow Edie in 2018 as an elderly woman who we discover has trouble with her memory. Certain moments spark her memory of 1951 and her friend Lucy that disappeared. She is more determined than ever to find out what happened to her before it‘s too late. My heart broke for Edie as I rediscovered her past as well as her future.

3✨ The story was really good, but since it was so short it continued to jump forward in time. The female POV was married at the beginning which I‘m not a fan of, but understand why the author did it to build anticipation. Other situations were put in here that because it was so short didn‘t completely get resolved, like the owl. So not bad, but maybe too much side plot for how short it was. #ReadYourKindle @CBee

3✨ I enjoyed reading this reimagining of Huckleberry Finn in the POV of Jim. It was interesting to see his perspective during this timeframe. #CampLitsy24 @squirrelbrain @BarbaraBB @Megabooks

Well, I read two. 🤣😅

4✨This is a reread for me so I already knew I would completely enjoy this read. Still not all in for the Tamlin and Feyre match, but love this story line. Ready to reread the rest of the series. #CatsofLitsy “Catrat”

Better late than never. I‘m going to try to read these somehow. 🫣 #ReadYourKindle @CBee

4✨ This book was really tense. The descriptions use to detail the ghost witch are very detailed and disturbing. There is a lot of scary situations, but I think I was just expecting more chills. There was a point in the book that I was just sad, and the scary parts of the book were just not as scary because of the depression. #FableBR @Littlewolf1

I listened and followed along for 2 hours. Sadly going to DNF. I can‘t figure out what‘s going on. I know this is a challenging and great book, but I just can‘t get into it. 😢 I‘m not going to review since I‘ll try again some other time.

Book Haul! 🤩 My husband is aware that I don‘t read everything I buy right away. This is why husbands should t come to book club. 🤣

5✨I need to do more book reviews for my kids library books. This is the latest sweet read that I would recommend it was so cute! Snail sees cabbage on the other side of the road and is cabbage bound. Snail has obstacles in his way, but he is not going to stop until he gets his cabbage.

This book expresses the golden rule: do something nice and nice things will come to you. Be charitable and the grateful will help you when you need help.

3✨ I think this gives a bit more background on how they morph, and who they are up against. The flea was a fun touch. #SeriesLove @TheSpineView @Andrew65

4✨ I was really little when I watched this movie. It was a favorite of mine so when I read this I thought it would spark some good memories. The writing, and imagination of this world is amazing! It didn‘t captivate me as much as it did my young self, but I still loved the journey. Plus it‘s a series?! More to look forward to later. 🥰

4✨ This second book did not have the series curse. It was a solid continuation of the story with danger, dragons, and overcoming odds. There was many intense moments and another cliff hanger! I found myself exclaiming out loud No, no, NO!!! Oh man can‘t wait for January to continue the series. #SeriesLove

4✨ This Kindle book was taking me too long so I bought the audio with it to speed up my reading. It follows two POVs Helen and Ralf. Set in the Netherland community Helen works at a hospital, and Ralf spends his time with not great people. Through events leading to someone‘s death there is a cover up, and on the other side a quest for answers. It was a non stop heart pumping thriller that had me wondering who I was rooting for. #ReadyourKindle

As a teacher and Mom I try to get all our doctor‘s visits done in the summer. Today my oldest and I tackled a few. Sadly, we will have to go back to the dentist tomorrow because she has a small cavity. 😱😭 At least I will have my kindle and she can watch a movie. Make sure you floss! I failed to help her 6 year old self with that. 😭😭😭💔

Yay! It should be a great diverse #roll100 for the month of July. I was able to read all my rolls for June so I am optimistic @PuddleJumper

Yay! I have a #CampLitsy and #SeriesLove for my #BookSpinBingo pulls for the month of July. Yay!

I found my copy at our local club (warehouse store for mostly bulk items with discounts). Excited to dig in the near future! #LosersClub @BarkingMadRead

Baby E wants to hear about dragons too! 🐉🥰💛

“Dragons do not answer to the whims of men.” I want to make a poster of this for my son‘s room. I call him my baby dragon. 🐉🥰- Side note: I‘m so glad my library hold finally came in for this. Completely hooked! 🤩

With three 5✨ reads I had to really think about my June pick. The Teacher had a lot of moral issues for me, but that ending! The Jane Eyre is a classic for a reason, but it was also a reread. So I needed to give The Phantom Tollbooth the win! 😍

June was really hard to pick a book I didn‘t like. I only selected Goliath because it has so much going on. It was quickly bypassed by Forever my Girl. No wild card at the moment to challenge it.

Wow! 20 books read in June! Not a bad turn out. Plus no DNFs. 🥰

4✨This was a book club pick not on my radar, but so glad it was picked. We have our main character who pretends to be a bunch of different people under an alias for her boss Mr. Smith. When a lady that looks very similar to her using her actual name she sees major red flags! The chapters are well titled so you know when and who she is in each chapter. That is a struggle point for me with all the alias‘ and time jumping. Necessary for the story.

My book spin bingo for July is ready to go! I‘m hoping to bringing down the huge queue TBR from this years unread books. 😬🙊… it just keeps growing because I want to read sooo much. 😅

July is just around the corner and we our excited about our two fable book clubs, both starting July 1 If you‘re interested in horror or fantasy, @Littlewolf1 & I would love for you to join us. For horror, follow this link https://fable.co/club/roaringwolf-fright-night-with-roary47-202125311454 for those thrills and chills. For fantasy choose this link https://fable.co/club/the-wyvern-scrolls-with-crystal-pilcher-178259080199. Happy Reading 😊📚😊

3✨ I really enjoyed the food descriptions that made me crave the amazing food described. I‘m not sure the book needed to be as long as it was it started to drag at the end for me. However, our main character grew a lot through the story. I wasn‘t too excited for the murder aspect, but it added depth. #camplitsy

This book is making me really hungry. Namely, this chapter on Ramen 🍜 🤤 #CampLitsy @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Megabooks I‘m trying to catch up for tomorrow‘s discussion. I have a mild summer cold so it‘s not hard to lay around today. 😅

3✨I struggled with this one because of all the cards and magic associated with it, but I really enjoyed this. I found it interesting that the “nightmare” protected, but was also slowly killing her through the book. I‘m interested to see what happens in the next book. #HTBookClub

3✨Not a favorite, but a good mystery just the same. Nancy gets a mysterious letter from Britain to find she is not the only Nancy Drew. The other Nancy just inherited a fortune, and it‘s up to our Nancy to find her. #NancyDrewBR @Librarybelle

4✨ This author is one of my new favorites. This new book did not disappoint! The historical event was of the Galveston hurricane, and it also touched on traveling medicine shows. I love that the author brings her knowledge as a registered nurse to her stories. I also like that the main character has flaws that she tries to work through.

3✨One of my high school reads I wanted to try again. I understand so much more reading it this time around. While it might be remembering discussions with my high school peers. I want to say it‘s my maturity in reading. Read for #Roll100 @PuddleJumper

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory” J. R. R. Tolkien.

@Littlewolf1 and myself figured if you‘re going to do one Fable Bookclub, you might as well do two. Welcome to The Wyvern Scrolls, where we are taking on some epic fantasy series. We will be starting with the Shattered Sea trilogy. July 1 will start with the first book, Half a King.

5✨ The re-read just hit me so much better. Jane goes through a lot of heartache starting at a young age. When something is going right it will quickly turn and not work out. While things finally go her way in the end there is still many challenges to overcome. I feel like this is a true romance where things fall apart sometimes and you just have to move on and try to be stronger as time goes on.

4✨ There is quite a few characters, but only two POVs that we follow. We also start at present day and go back in time. This helps you ask the question: “What the heck happened?” It is really fast paced and even though it jumps from time and characters it‘s pretty easy to follow and helps to uncover the mysteries as it goes. Pretty dark and twisty on a few things, there is one mystery uncovered that is really messed up. #FableBR

3✨I didn‘t love it, but in its defense it has a lot going on. There were several POVs, some I liked, and some I didn‘t. Many times I really didn‘t know what was going on because of how many characters there were. It was set in a futuristic world when people are left behind basically on a dying planet. It was very tense in its expression of racism. It was also raw in its expression of hopelessness. Probably read slowly. Read for #LitsySciFiBookClub

Night creatures, you are being summoned! If midnight is your waking hour, you enjoy the sounds of screams, if you search for creatures creeping, and every day is Halloween. If thrills and chills are what you seek, and the hounds of hell make you weak… then we have the Fable book club for you. Join the RoaringWolf Fright Night bookclub as we seek, and read the books that will truly leave us terrified. Link below ⬇️

3✨ There is a lot of heartwarming moments as the adults and kids navigate their feelings. Changes are really good at bringing up old hurt. As they go abroad and travel as a family they work through their thoughts and feelings. It does also have humor like the first one, but it‘s hard to beat an original.

5✨ How have I not read this one yet!? It was so funny and I‘m definitely going to read this one again As a kid I would have missed a lot of the word play jokes. My favorite part was the character who lives in context, but constantly is out of it. Plus the watchdog. Very clever! Read for #roll100 @PuddleJumper Gandalf approved 👍🏻 #catsoflitsy
