This is a low pick for me. I much prefer The Thursday Murder Club series and those wonderful characters. This was just forgettable to me but I will probably read book two. Maybe it will provide a stronger connection to the characters.

1. My daughter got back on the volleyball court for the first time since her ACL surgery. I am so happy for her. She worked hard to get back. This could really be ALL THE JOYS this week! 😊

2. A stack of ARCs

3. Coffee date with my daughter today.

4. Sherlock. 💙🐶💙

5. Brian. Always. 💙💚💙

Thanks for the tag @TheSpineView 💙

Several people recommended this to me. It was a fun cozy mystery. Tea shop, murder, family (deprioritized and found) and a quirky cast of characters.
I have book 2 on hold. 🤓

Well… I guess Saturday‘s #CampLitsy25 discussion will be interesting. 🧐 I am in the WHAAAT?? Group for this one.
I didn‘t have the strong feelings (positive or negative) that I‘m reading about in so many reviews for this book. I‘m really looking forward to the discussion to hear what the other campers have to say.

A twisty listen with excellent narrators. So good!

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView

1. Tagged
2. I‘ll preorder both but I preorder more series books.

Everyone welcome to play along!

Thank you to @StayCurious for hosting #LittensLoveACOTAR
I loved this series and this was a great installment. It went from Oh Nesta 🤦🏼‍♀️ to Go Nesta 👊🏻.

Word 2/5

Cute. I enjoyed it and it was just the vibe I needed last week while sitting in waiting rooms.

#WeekendReading

I really enjoy this series. Book 8 brings Ellery‘s college friends to Pirate‘s Cove to celebrate the completion of the Captain‘s Seat renovations. We didn‘t get much from the Pirate‘s Cove regulars in this one (which I missed) but we did get to solve two cases.

#BookSpinBingo #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025 #ThematicCozies

Followed up on The Perfect Marriage by immediately reading this one. I enjoyed this one more. I was trying to predict the twists Rose was going to throw at us based on the characters‘ actions in the first book.

#BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2025

#EBBR

Well I‘m pretty sure I probably did better as a kid for this one. Even though I wasn‘t on my game, I still really enjoyed another chance to hang with Encyclopedia.

#BookSpinBingo #readyourTBR #SeriesLove2025

While I enjoyed the book, I didn‘t really like any of the characters. The twists and drama beat out the underwhelming characters and this is a pick for me. I‘m actually going to read book 2.

#BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2025

I had a few choices on my shelves but ultimately decided on this one. When I‘ve finished reading it, I‘ll probably watch the movie.

Here‘s my June #BookSpinBingo board.

Happy reading everyone!! 💙☀️💙

I‘m excited for my #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books this month.

So far I‘ve read all of my #BookSpin & #DoubleSpin books this year. I‘m ready to see June‘s picks.

I love seeing how the different #bookbracket setups alter the matchups.

The books I read in May. 💙📚💙

I do love Teddy & Stone.

Migraines don‘t just suck… they mess with my reading time. 🤕

#MotherDaughterReads

My daughter and I are continuing our reread of the #KOTLC series. We both love this series & I‘m here for anything that brings us both joy.
Books 4-6 reread. 💙💜💙

#WeekendReading

#SeriesLove2025 #Roll100 #readyourebooks #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD

I‘ve read 20/24 rolled #Roll100 books from Jan-Apr. I have 2 lists— audiobooks & ebooks/physical books.
The #LittensLoveACOTAR group is moving on to the Throne of Glass series so I‘ll read Assassin‘s Blade when we get to it. My goal is to complete the other three books by the end of July.

I read 5/6 rolled #Roll100 books this month. I started Bake It to the Limit but put it aside when several library holds came in at once. I‘m going to pick it up this weekend.

Currant Creek Valley was my favorite of the five I finished.

I read this with the #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD group. I was sick and didn‘t participate much but have liked going back and reading the discussion. Again, not a book I would have chosen for myself but I found it to balance fluff & nostalgia pretty well. Overall, a good read for the month.

#TLT @dabbe

Ugh!! 8. Just 8.

Here‘s my June #readyourebooks list. In addition to the books @CBee spins, I‘d like to clear 1-2 of my carryover months from the list.

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

Just starting this one today.

I won‘t be reading any other books on this list between now and the 31st. 9 ebooks finished from my #readyourebooks May list.

#ThematicCozies #SeriesLove2025 #BookSpinBingo

Pru Parke, a Texas ex-pat, dreams of living in England as a head gardener. With her dreams about to crumble, she takes a job in Chelsea hoping for the best. Digging in the soil of a potting shed, Pru uncovers an ancient mosaic. A few days later, she discovers a corpse. Can she solve the murder & save her English dreams?

This was interesting and fun enough for me to check out book 2.

#bookchain

Another fun book in the Beachfront Bakery series. This one has a cliffhanger of sorts. Looking forward to the next book to get some answers.

1. I like my name but I would combine my first & middle names. For my mom. She wanted to name me Lynnanne but my grandparents convinced her it was better as a first & middle name. She listened but has called me Lynnanne my whole life.

2. Sherlock, Jett, Maya, Mickey (after Mantle not Mouse)

3. Rhys, Azriel, Cassian (all from ACOTAR) & Dean (Winchester from Supernatural)

My June #FictionalTraveler pick. I love heading back to Mure.

I‘m choosing this one for my June #ReadOrDonate book. My daughter will be reading it as well.
