Hey #historicalhussies. I just got the next pick for our #LMPBC group. The book looks really good. I have a question though; it doesn‘t look marked up so should there be a notebook with it?
And as always thank you so much to @Avanders for all the extras. The coffee smells divine and all the books are from my wish list. You are always so generous.

MaleficentBookDragon @JenlovesJT47 did you get the package I sent you? 4y

JenlovesJT47 I‘ll check with my mom tomorrow, we moved recently but my mail is still going there. This is my book, there‘s no notebook with it but you can write in it if you want to. 🤗 4y

Avanders Yay! 💃🏽💃🏽 I know it was a bit uninspired, but I tried to at least pic books that both sounded cool and looked good together 😂😘 Also, no pkg at work yet — I haven‘t been in since Tuesday, though, so I‘ll check again. 4y

Avanders Oh and let me know if the coffee is good! It sure sounded yumm 😋 4y

BethM I think I wrote in the back. 4y

Avanders Hey great news — they‘ve located the package! It was delivered next door to the law school... 🤔🤦🏽‍♀️ I‘ll be picking it up this afternoon 😁👏🏽👏🏽 4y

MaleficentBookDragon @Avanders oh thank goodness. I was worried. Hope you like everything. I am still a little worried though, there is chocolate in there. 😳 4y

I really enjoyed Wild River. No, not as much as Maine‘s first, House Between Tides (I see I‘m not alone in this feeling!) but the historical settings in Scotland, Chicago, and particularly the wilds of Canada, were terrific. It does take awhile to get going, but the second half of the book goes much faster than the first. Romance, adventure, family strife, twists and turns . . . No. 2 of 4 books for #JoysofJune.

Murray keeps watch while I read!

StayCurious This looks like it is in a park, so I'm counting it as your #parkselfie, and also reading outside for a square on #SummerFun bingo. Yay! Two entries for the prizes! 5y

BethM Aww yay! Hugs- this quarantine is hard. The teas are from adagio so the steeping instructions are online. I forgot to write that the one with the trees is called 40 winks- a bedtime tea. 5y

JenlovesJT47 @TK421 I‘m trying to finish my book this week, sorry again for the delay! 5y

TK421 No worries @JenlovesJT47 , I'm still trying to finish the book for @BethM . 5y

Enjoyable, though the pace was methodical. I love being in Canada fishing so the setting was right at home. Lovely pick #historicalhussies

I really enjoyed this book. @JenlovesJT47 you made a good choice. It was a really interesting journey from Scotland to the Canadian wilderness. Murder, secrets, revenge, romance, and trout fishing. This book has it all. 😀

JenlovesJT47 I‘m glad you liked it! I really enjoyed it as well ☺️ 5y

Good morning Littens. I have a rare opportunity to start my day out with coffee and a book. I need more mornings like this.

Chrissyreadit ❤️enjoy! 5y

Cortg Awesome! I got a cup of coffee and 30 min. reading time before I start getting ready for work. I love starting the mornings out like this! Have a great day! (edited) 5y

SauerPatch So jealous! (Not that I have any right to be, I‘d have more reading/other hobby time if I managed my time differently, lol.) Also, that CAT mug.😄 5y

Nute Lovely! So nice to have a quiet start to the morning. Enjoy!☺️ 5y

@JenlovesJT47 I received your and @MaleficentBookDragon 's books today. Thank you for the comics! You can never have too much Deadpool. The envelope was ripped up and re-taped, but nothing seemed to be damaged. I got the two books, two graphic novels, one journal, and a card. If anything else was in the package, it didn't make it.
@Avanders @BethM

JenlovesJT47 I think that‘s everything! Next time I‘ll send stuff in a priority box. And yes, you can never have too much Deadpool! 😁 5y

TK421 @JenlovesJT47 I'm glad that nothing was missing, and I can't wait to read these two books! 5y

I started the #24B4Monday yesterday by reading my pick for the #LMPBC — I was wary at first, but I did find this enjoyable and I kept wanting to read it to see what happens. I feel like this will be hit or miss with some people, but it really picked up towards the end and I gave it an extra star. I still think 100 pages could have been shaved off and you wouldn‘t miss anything. 4⭐️
