The Other Lady Vanishes | 
pickThis book is part suspense, part romance, part historical fiction, but it does none of them really well. It was an entertaining read; yet, the history was spotty, the romance bland, and the suspense a little forced. A unique concept, and the different storylines were very creative, but the writing was just okay. Clever title though!
⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickAnother great read by Amanda Quick (a.k.a., Jayne Ann Krentz). ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickSo good! This cover is amazing. I loved the mystery and the time period details. The romance seems to be less of a focus in these books, but they‘re still great.
pickWow, what a great book! I think so far it‘s my favorite from my #newyearwhodis list by @ElenaBaer just the right blend of mystery and romance with an ending that I actually didn‘t see coming. I‘ll definitely give other Amanda Quick books a try. @monalyisha also, letter O for #LitsyAtoZ @BookishMarginalia
#LitsyWalkers orange travel ban means I‘ll be doing all my walking inside today. Last forecast I saw was for 5-8 inches. We probably won‘t be having our book club author Skype with Wiley Cash tonight. Hopefully we can reschedule. I‘ve got a fun day of doing up and down stairs to do laundry ahead of me since my dog was sick on my bed first thing this morning. 😬 happy reading and stay safe if you‘re in winter storm land!
Calling it at just 24 hours. Had I not been awake at 3:30 am, I never would have made it but now, it‘s time for some sweet sweet sleep. Happy #24in48 everyone, whether you made it or not, any amount of reading is a success!
Next up in my #readathonstack #24in48 #24b4Monday book 5 for #newyearwhodis
pickThanks to #NetGalley and @BerkleyPub for an advanced reader‘s copy of this.
The second in the Burning Cove series, and I liked it. Adelaide Blake is hiding from a troubled past. But, what happens when the past catches up with her? It has romance and suspense, strong female characters, and a setting where it seems everyone has something to hide. Quick writes a storyline that keeps the reader engaged.
This month's @#pagehabit box. I am now up to 3 of these photo holders and 3 pairs of these socks! Lol. The book sounds really great though! Love the handy bookmarks as well!
pickAn asylum, evil doctors, a new mystery drug, and the woman planning her escape....they all collide in a very satisfying romantic suspense novel. Something at the ending i could have done without but alas.
I was going to get up, but #Vladimir decided to lay down on me. #catsoflitsy
Nearly to 5 hours with #13inThree !
And, I‘m calling it finished for my #8intwo participation. Hooray!
As for #NetGalleyTBRAttack , I completed one book and started a second. It was a good opportunity to concentrate on even just that small amount. Thanks for hosting, @Clwojick !
Next up for #NetGalleyTBRAttack is this one, which came out recently. I‘ll start this tonight, then switch to some other books I must finish up this evening.
pickThis book comes out next week. I read an arc from netgalley a couple of months ago. It's book 2 in Quick's Burning Cove series. I liked the mystery and the characters. The tea stuff was a little too woo for me. I even liked the romance, except for at the end, which I'll explain in the comments under a spoiler tag. I'll probably continue to read the series if it continues.
#TBRtemptation post 2! This is the 2ns installment in the Burning Cove series. Soon to be released. 1930s California. After escaping a sanitarium, Adelaide arrives in the town of Burning Cove and takes a job at an herbal tea shop. She'll meet Hollywood players, including Jake Truett, a widowed businessman. Meet gangsters, drug dealers, and a psychic named Madame Zolanda who will be murdered in dire consequences. #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
pickThis was like watching a noir film. The author‘s decription of the setting and the dialog was perfectly done in the pre-war atmosphere. It could have come off as a bit corny to some, but I found it suitable for the time and place. It's a fast read; I wasn't aware that it was part of a series, it was great as a stand alone. I would love to find out what happens next in the little coastal town in California.
Since I know you‘ve all been dying to know what I decided. 😂 #whatshouldjessicareadbeforebed
Feeling so indecisive! What should I read before bed?? This one? Or.... #whatshouldjessicareadbeforebed
I'm trying to cut back on requesting books from netgalley but when the publisher gives me access to a book without having to request it, I can't resist 😀
