Billie, Helen, Mary Alice and Natalie are retired assassins, and the organization they used to work for has put a contract out on them. The women have to kill or be killed. They create a plan to get their assassins first. Twist ending (who exactly put this contract in motion) - A fun and quick read. Must suspend a lot of belief - but worth it!

June #BookSpinBingo - thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

Make a great day everyone 🌞

Very well written. Robert's friend George disappears and he is determined to find out what happened, it is linked to Lady Audley' secret. Roberts internal musings got to be a bit tiring (what have I done, what should I do, am I right in my assumptions, will I bring sorrow to others with my plan of action etc...) - but it was still an excellent read. I enjoyed finding out the secret!

A fun, predictable, friends to lovers story about Poppy and Alex. I enjoyed how their relationship unfolded in terms of their trips. Poppy writes about her travels for a living and Alex goes with her once a year. It is a good book if you need a break from heavier reading (or the world) -

#BookSpinBingo and #AlphabeticalBingo updated!

Goals for #20in4 but reality is that tagged is the one I will finish - too much family fun this weekend 😄

The other books will carry over to June (which means a good start on my #BookSpinBingo for next month 😂)

Not ready for Hendrix yet - the library will let the next person read it, keep me at top of the wait list - so nice - I didn't know this was a thing 👏

Thanks hosts @Andrew65 and @TheAromaofBooks

I've already started my #20in4 readathon list - which is my goal for finishing out May - thanks for hosting @Andrew65 -

Make a great day everyone 🙂

Book came in (tagged) - so goal for May is to finish strong (with books I am enjoying) and get a #BookSpinBingo (due partly to DNF's 😅)

I can't believe it's the end of May already - I do feel as I get older time is going faster!! Or maybe time really does fly when you are having fun!!

Thanks for hosting the bingo, as always, @TheAromaofBooks -

Make a great day everyone - 🌞

I might get a #BookSpinBingo (due to DNR's 😂) if my Henry book comes in on time! Enjoying my two current reads very much - so I'm glad I moved on to them 😉

Make a great day everyone 🌞

#Two4Tuesday (a day late) - here is my bookmark shelf - some of these are from @TheSpineView from a few years back and the first Litsy drawing I won !
Oh, and I have been known to dog-ear a book I own before, not very often (please don't judge me too harshly 😂)

Make a great day everyone 🙂

Follows 3 students (McMasters School) who are learning how to delete someone. A Hogwarts for adults (without the magic)- the campus is beautiful, teachers are quirky, students form tight bonds, goal is ethical/well rounded deletists. Humorous and engaging. Really enjoyed each students back story - thesis (how they would delete someone) - and final exam (carrying out the deletion).

Make agreat day everyone 🙂

Nothing wrong with story, just not in the mood for deaths dealing with kids (teens in this). Second book I've bailed on due to this, so it's me not you 😉

Would have been a good Y book for #AlphabeticalBingo

Make a great day everyone 😊

2 of 3 books finished for #MagnificentMay - still reading tagged book (probably done by end of tomorrow) -
Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 -
And Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there in Litsyland - 🌹
Make a great day everyone 🙂

Started well - Geo is on trial for aiding her boyfriend Calvin in the murder of her high school friend 14 years earlier. Calvin is a on trial as a serial killer. The story goes from the present to past with flashbacks to high school. Present day copycat murders begin but the twist is children are being killed (didn't notice that in TWs) -that's when I'm out.
Would have been a good J for my #AlphabeticalBingo -

Make a great day everyone 😊

One more book (the tagged) to reach my #MagnificentMay readathon goal.
Working toward some bingos on my #BookSpinBingo and #AlphabeticalBingo .

The first few pages hooked me - a woman vanishes in her house - years later the King family buys the house, they find out the house has a mysterious past (husband supposedly killed wife, family disappears) - the Kings soon discover that the house is a portal to different times/places- then I got unhooked. ⬇️

Another book done for #MagnificentMay - thanks for hosting @Andrew65 -

Make a great day everyone 🙂

When Jimmy is born his grandfather predicts he will have five bad days. And he does - the first 1/3 of the book is about his birth and first bad day. At first it was funny and intense - the interaction between Jimmy, crazy clowns, his family and Lorrie - then it got exhausting and I couldn't wait for the next bad day - very slow moving for me.⬇️

1 book down for #MagnificentMay - thanks for hosting @Andrew65 .
Make a great day everyone 🙂

Grades are turned in - summer break - let the #MagnificentMay readathon begin!

Make a great day everyone 📚

My goals for #MagnificentMay readathon is to finish tagged book, and “Life Expectancy“ and “The House of Dark Shadows“ -

Here is my May #BookSpinBingo - already started a few books - btw tagged book has a lot of humor in it (not what I was expecting from Koontz) - thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

Make a great day everyone 🙂

Story told through faxes, emails, documents, and Bernadette's daughter Bee fills in the rest. This is not what I expected - I thought it was a murder type mystery - no it's about a woman who is a genius and possibly dealing with mental health issues and how she (Bernadette) and her family, and her arch enemy Audrey, deal with it. Funny, smart, very good read.⬇️

Make a great day everyone 🌞

I love a reading bingo, so I'm in for the #AlphabeticalBingo thanks for putting it out there @Clwojick - I am not doing a board for each letter of the alphabet though (not organized or disciplined enough for that) - so I'll try a board with each letter and see how long it takes to get a bingo (hope that is okay)-

Make a great day everyone 🙂

#20in4 thanks for hosting @Andrew65 - plan to finish tagged book, which will bring April #BookSpinBingo (thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks ) to an end for me - a very good reading month -

Make a great day everyone -😊

#ThemedThursday
Exploring a CORRUPT BELIEF SYSTEM and the POWER OF FILM to change it - this documentary helped (in part) to change laws about honor killings.
Thanks for the tag @dabbe

Make a great day everyone 👍

Read a review by @peanutnine and picked this up. Glad I did.
Good, fun, informative. A humorous way to learn about different philosophical schools of thought and ethics. Schur gives relatable examples and ways in which to apply the ideas to our everyday lives - so we can be perfect (or at least be better 🙂).

Typical cosy mystery - Charlie, local librarian, gets involved in the investigation of the murder of a writer, Godfrey . Charlie's cat Diesel is a MC (as it is a series “cat in the stacks“) yet only adds a lot of pages of how the cat and people interact without moving the mystery or story forward. Overall this was a fine read (I did want to know who did it) in between some horror stories and more serious books.

Make a great day everyone 🙂

My plans for the rest of April and then I'm ready for May #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks - I have really enjoyed the books I've read this month,
no duds😊
Make a great day everyone 📚

Several characters in this needed redemption, and some really just needed to forgive others. This was such a good book. Thanks for the tag @dabbe

Current progress on #BookSpinBingo - like March, a good reading month, enjoying all I have read and am currently reading.
Off to San Diego to visit my sister - this was originally a Christmas trip but #ibookedsouthwest #nuffsaid

Make a great day everyone - 🌞

Lucy Barton explores her past - with ex-husband William, ex- MIL, children, parents, siblings, recently deceased husband, while at the same time helping William learn about his family (and himself). I liked the way it was written, unfiltered thoughts - I could hear/picture Lucy. This is a woman reflecting back on life and making connections to her present. It was funny, sad, sweet - all the feelings.

Make a great day everyone😊

This is the story of Martha (Patsy) Jefferson Randolph, Thomas Jeffersons daughter, told from her perspective, based on letters and original sources. It focuses mostly on Patsy's devotion and protection of her father. A very good historical fiction. (see below for the rest)
One more book in for #AwesomeApril thanks for hosting @Andrew65

Make a great day everyone 😊

#BookSpinBingo progress for April - finished the Wayward Pines trilogy for #AwesomeApril - will use these last two days of the readathon to try to finish one more book -

Thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks and @Andrew65 -

Make a great day everyone 🌞

I enjoyed the Wayward Pines trilogy. Ethan has told the town the truth, the towns creator, David, unleashes a horror upon the town, - Ethan and the town must survive and figure out how to move forward . I enjoyed the 2nd book the most ,it explored citizens lives more, books 1 and 2 Ethan running a lot (1st from the citizens, 3rd from the creatures). Ending to the trilogy is very satisfying!
#AwesomeApril goals ✅
Make a great day everyone 🌞

1. I am currently watching Yellowjackets - enjoying this.
2. None - I think most books I read (by the time I read them) have already been turned into a series or movie 😂

#WondrousWednesday thanks for hosting @Eggs

Make a great day everyone 🌷

Thank heavens for free spaces on #BookSpinBingo - decided to finish Wayward Pines trilogy for #AwesomeApril and then picked a couple of books on my TBR but not on my April reading list 😂

Make a great day everyone 🌞

Very good - second book in the Wayward Pines trilogy. Ethan must decide to get in line with the Pine way of life or tell the townspeople the truth - I enjoyed this even more than the first book in the series and have already started the final book - I have to see how this ends.
#AwesomeApril @Andrew65
Make a great day everyone -💐

#AwesomeApril is here and so is some reading time this weekend and week!
Looking forward to finishing the Wayward Pines trilogy this week -

Thanks for hosting @Andrew65 -

I believe Patsy's relationship with her father (Thomas Jefferson) is not healthy (even for those times)!! #ThemedThursday thanks for hosting and the tag @dabbe
I plan on finishing the Wayward Pines series for the #AwesomeApril readathon - thanks for hosting @Andrew65
My current #BookSpinBingo board - thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks

Make a great day everyone - 🙂

Ethan Burke goes to Wayward Pines to investigate missing agents. It may start like a combination of Twin Peaks / X-Files, but it quickly turns to something much darker, creepier. I enjoyed the first book of this trilogy so much that I have reorganized what I am reading so I can read the next two and finish the series this week.

Best day of the month - #BookSpinBingo reveal - thanks for hosting @TheAromaofBooks -

Make a great day everyone -📚

First line: “Eunice Parchman killed the Coverdale family because she could not read or write.” And it only gets better from there - really well written, good story. New author to me - have added another one of her books on my #BookSpinBingo for April -

Make a great evening everyone 😊

Books in red I have started reading - looking forward to making my April #BookSpinBingo card 📚 @TheAromaofBooks

#MarchMadness was good for me - enjoyed all of the books I read - no DNF's, pans, or so-so's in the bunch!!

Enjoyed this one - Fitzwilliam meets a woman on a train who is headed to Scotland Yard to report a serial murderer - the woman is killed before she can get there - so Fitzwilliam goes to the village the woman is from and investigates. As usual, I didn't guess the killer - it was a quick and good read.

Make a great day everyone -😊

I did not realize these two books were the same - was waiting for Easy to Kill to come in at the library, yet tagged book already available on Libby🤦‍♀️ so will be starting the tagged book this weekend for #AgathaChristieClubR2 @ferskner -

I plan to actually time myself and try to read #20in4 - thanks for hosting @Andrew65
