Next up! My husband picked this one out for me recently from a “former bestsellers” stack when he got me 3 books for a gift ❤️
so-soComing in and reading book 23 in the series without touching any of the previous books...Not sure if this had any impact on my review of this book. I felt like the overall story kept me intrigued, but I didn‘t like 1) the book seemed really stretched out and longer than necessary 2) the psychic aspect of some characters was unbelievable 3) not much happened for a 500 page book because of alllll the descriptions. Found myself skimming near the end!
This LibraryThing Early Reviewers book just arrived!! ☺️ I love book mail ❤️
Next up! Found this one on the lucky day shelf at the library (no holds, no renewals)
pickThe best way to finish a book is cuddled up with this little pup ❤️ I really really enjoyed this historical fiction book! It was written from three different points of view and the chapters rotated between the characters. I could not put it down and was curious to see how and when the stories would intertwine! I definitely need to read more by Pam Jenoff !!
I‘m intrigued by this one...who has read it!?!?
Side note: anyone else hate when you take stickers off a new book and it won‘t come off!?!?
Went to Barnes and Noble tonight after dinner with my husband...the mug said we had to so we did “treat yo-shelf” with 5 new reads 🤣
panI heard good things about this book so I was excited for the humor of it, but I feel like I was way too old to be reading it. Many of the tips were obvious to me or not useful...I‘m in a different stage of life. I found some humor in the beginning, but by the middle and end I found myself skimming. HOWEVER!! I feel this would‘ve been a really useful/interesting/informative/enjoyable book if I had read this around the time I was in college!
This was my first time ordering through the #botm app! Easy peasy! It was a pretty simple choice for me this month, as I absolutely loved Salt to the Sea so I‘m hoping I can‘t put this one down either! I love Ruta Sepetys‘ ability to shine light on historical events that aren‘t well known ❤️
pickWell today is our 1st wedding anniversary! My husband went to run a few errands so I finished this one on audiobook while cutting up all these apples for homemade applesauce 🍎 🍏 I loved the latest installment of Morgan Dane adventures and hope the series will continue! I enjoy these characters and the stories are easy to listen to while getting things done. Looking forward to trying out this applesauce in a few hours!

Had to drive my Mom to a doctor appointment this morning which means READING TIME for me! 📖
pickI love the Morgan Dane series and I am so excited that I have 2 of them to catch up on! It was easy to jump into this one and still remember details about the characters - even though it has been a while since I read the first ones. I was able to listen while I did dishes, worked on house projects and unpacked some of the never-ending boxes we seem to have. It kept my attention through it all! Looking forward to number 6!
Audiobooking while working on house projects...good bye orange bathroom and old tile flooring!!!

bailedI don‘t often bail on a book (I almost always make myself push through!), but I just couldn‘t get into this book. I received it as an ARC so was looking forward to reading it. I made it about half way through and just wasn‘t invested in any of the characters, I didn‘t enjoy the Christian aspects thrown in, didn‘t like how slow it seemed or appreciate how the dialogue was written. I don‘t have much time to read with 2 pups at home so had to bail!
so-soNot as good as the first 3 in the series, so part of me is glad this is one of the last ones. I love reading books that are in a series, but sometimes you get to a point where there isn‘t as much new stuff happening and the story line becomes stagnant. I did enjoy a wrap up of sorts with the characters though and will be moving on to #5!
I feel like I‘ve missed out on a lot of cool swaps lately because I don‘t see the sign ups posted - I only see posts about it after matches have been sent. Are there any fun swaps going on out there with sign ups still open?? Drop your swap details in the comments 📦 Thanks!!
pickI have been enjoying this series and it is a great way to enjoy as an audiobook! There is enough action to keep you listening and I love the continuation of the characters. Next up will be number 4!
I received this as a Library Thing Early Reviewers book....and didn‘t receive it for several months! (I thought it wasn‘t coming) We are finally organizing the rest of our books from the move (in April!) and I came across this one ☝️ Figured I should read it next (with my little pup snuggled up with me of course!)
My #botm is here! Also love the bookmark that came this month ❤️ I look forward to reading this one
This sweet girl is getting spayed today...the rescue we got her from is covering the cost so I had to drive 45 minutes to get her there and another 45 back home....that means I get 3 hours of audiobook time today just for drive time 🚗 I can‘t wait to go get her and bring her home ❤️
pickNot as good as the first one, and I feel I got a little lost in the beginning, but I did enjoy the story line and continuation of the main characters. I‘ll be checking out the third in the series on audiobook next!
pickThis one was a wild ride! I really enjoyed the format (written as letters) and I could not put it down. I definitely was surprised in several places. I feel like I had some unanswered questions at the end of the book, but overall it was a fast paced adventure ❤️
This is the second book I‘ve read in a row that has used this word...I feel like it is such a fun one and rarely used ❤️
I‘m super excited for this one and the fact that I got to pick so early!!!! 🎉 📖 Also love the gorgeous cover 😍 #botm
Actually starting my book of the month book in the month I chose it!! 📖
pickIt is so much easier to find time to listen to audiobooks lately than it is to find time to read a book!! I finished this one up this morning while giving this little lady a bath before her vet visit today. She is now laying in the sun to dry ☀️ NYPD Red was full of adventure, kept me entertained (I used to find audiobooks boring/hard to follow) and it kept me guessing - I borrowed the next in the series right away on Libby as soon as I finished.
pickWow!! This was a great #lmpbc pick @BennettBookworm ! It started off a little slow, but soon I could not put it down! Kya survived alone for years in the marsh, since her family left one by one when she was a child. She teaches herself about the plants/animals that live in the swamp and finds creative ways to survive on her own. When Chase is found dead, she is suspected of murder...I loved reading along with everyone‘s comments!
It is cloudy and a little chilly today, but I am enjoying some time on the deck with my two pups and my #lmpbc book @BennettBookworm
Went to a sunflower field with my mom yesterday and was able to bring a few home ❤️🌻 They certainly brighten up our family room! Im excited that next up is our last #lmpbc pick @BennettBookworm
pickLuna has been sleepy today which means cuddles and book time for mama! I was so excited for this book to come out and I was not disappointed! It tugged at my heartstrings in many ways and I definitely was rooting for Cassie through it all. I would say there were a few slightly cheesy “life lessons” in this book (like forgiveness), but I still enjoyed the read. Please keep writing books Katherine Center!!
I love that she consulted her husband for this book and says it would only be ten pages long without him ❤️
New book. New bookmark. ❤️❤️
pickThis was between a pick and a so-so for me. It took me a little bit to get into this one - I think it had been too long since I read the second book so it took me a while to remember characters, etc. But once I was back into it, I enjoyed the story line! I was right there rooting for them, against them and wondering what would happen. Not the best book I‘ve read recently, but definitely kept my interest.
