pickThis was almost a DNF. But, when I got surprised by who Katy runs into in Positano the story really took off for me. The ending was a little disappointing because I would've liked some kind of explanation. Overall, it was good story to get lost in.

I've read Hollywood Wives and Hollywood Husbands, so when I came across this last fall at the library book sale I thought might as well round out the family 😂
I'm looking forward to good, trashy read.
bailedAnd that's a #HailTheBail wrap. See ya 👋🏼

Starting this #BlameItLitsy #BookSpinBingo book
pickI always thought Michael Schiavo was a bit of a scheve, and a piece of shit right up to the end. But I never thought he had anything to do with Terri's collapse. I think differently now.
Overall, it was an interesting read that I'm glad I came across at a library book sale last year.

Such a gorgeous morning for outdoor reading.
pickI liked it, not as much as her earlier books, but it didn't suck. I did, however, love how the movies Meredith stared in were all Williams' own book titles.

#CharacterCharm #Nurse Ratched -- talk about charm!
pickSuch a compelling and emotional read of loss and grief. The ending, however, was too drawn out and repetitive.
It made zero difference that I haven't read Firefly Lane, which I didn't know was book 1.

Went to The Titanic: An Immersive Voyage in Denver today. Very cool exhibit!

Decided to be daring and start the #DoubleSpin pick fist 😱 Such a rebel, I know 🤣🤣
pick"Eighty-four writers pay tribute to their favorite bricks-and-mortar stores."
These vignettes were the perfect fillers when it was too close to #BookSpin day or book mail arrival to start a book.

so-soNothing to read here that couldn't be gleaned from watching the show. So, basically, exactly what I expected.

Even though it's not Wednesday all I have to say is: We do not care that we are in our mid 50s and been a fan of Vanderpump Rules since season 1 😂
