My Birthday | 
My TBR for my birthday month. I know I will not get to all of these, but it‘s a nice combination of buddy/bookclub reads, 2023 CWA Dagger award winners, and a couple of random library books, plus everything from April that I‘m still working my way through. 🎶 Happy Birthday to me 🎶 🥳🥳
I always pick somewhere for people to donate to -a dollar is enough- five is perfect.
This year I've picked OUTONTHELAKESHORE
-with all the hatred against the LGBTQIA community, especially the transgender community and unfortunately especially vile in my community with funds from grants trying to be withheld by extremist who took over our county and all kinds of nonsense-they need us. Please give if you can.

Today is my birthday, so of course I‘m spending it in my favorite place: a bookstore! Special shout-out to my birthday twin, Queen Elizabeth II, who is celebrating her 96th birthday today. Looking good, Lizzie!
Birthday book haul
pan2⭐️ Ummmmm. Nope. It‘s Bear‘s birthday and no one show up for his party. He goes and seeks out his friends and they all had something else to do. So bear goes back home and there are his friends with a birthday surprise. Nope. Redo the beginning. Its sad that bear throws a party and no one comes. It is like they are saying his party is not good enough and they can throw a better one. Nope. Don‘t like this book.
