pick

So this was almost a bail... then I went on GR and someone recommended the audiobook, made all the difference in the world. Graves likes to interrupt her narrative with descriptions. The narrator of the audiobook did such an excellent job of incorporating these descriptions in her narration that I couldn‘t stop listening. In the end, after the switch, it became a pick. Can‘t wait to continue the series (on audio).

TheHeartlandBookFairy Way to go, I love that you found a way to make that work and ended up enjoying it! 5y

Mollyanna @TheHeartlandBookFairy Thanks. 😊 5y

Mollyanna @TheAromaofBooks Completely forgot to note that this was my #bookspin for May. I‘m still hoping to get through another 2 or 3 (I was in a slump, but seem to be back) this weekend. Looking forward to another #bookspinbonanza in the fall! Now I‘ve got to work on my June list. (edited) 5y

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! Great review, and it's so funny that a change in format made the whole book more enjoyable! 5y

Mollyanna @TheAromaofBooks Isn‘t it though? I had this happen once before with

Discovery of Witches

Readergrrl I spend my summers on Deer Island which Graves mentions quite a bit in this series. It is the small island across the border in Canada. I go to Eastport every 4th of July for their parade!!! Best ever!!! I picked up this book a few summers ago and now it‘s a ritual to get the next in the series every summer! 5y

Mollyanna @Readergrrl I loved the descriptions of the locations. It sounds so beautiful! That is a wonderful tradition. I bet it‘s a blast to be reading the series while in the location. 5y

Readergrrl @Mollyanna It is a lovely place, to be sure! Just a small fishing community, no tourists really! My family has lived on DI for generations and even though I live in the States full time, Deer Island is my North Star! 5y

Mollyanna @Readergrrl That sounds phenomenal! I love those quiet hideaway places. It sounds like you have a lot of love for DI. I‘ve been to Maine once, but only got to Kennebunkport. I hope to get back and travel a bit more. You‘ve definitely made a trip to Eastport a serious thought for the itinerary. 5y

If I can come into work, see two carts full of returns, and shelve said returns in just over ten minutes, there is no reason in the world why they couldn‘t have been shelved in the five hours before I got here. I‘m just saying. But at least I have Jake to keep me company, AND I‘ve already been productive. #thedeadcatbounce #sarahgraves

It‘s not even 10am yet, and people already have me wishing that my LaCroix was something much stronger. 🙄 Not sure how much at-work reading I‘ll get done today, but we‘ll see. #thedeadcatbounce #sarahgraves

Kshakal How is the coconut la croix??? I really enjoy the grapefruit and the mango! 7y

actualdisneyprincess @Kshakal I LOVE the Coconut!!!! 😍 It‘s so summery! I also love the Lime and the Key Lime! (Actually, I just love all of the flavors. 😂) (edited) 7y

Kshakal @actualdisneyprincess I will have to give the coconut a try!! 7y

Easily one of the weirdest titles I‘ve ever seen, but I‘m glad that there‘s a footnote that explains what it means. 😂 (It‘s apparently stock market jargon.) But I‘m excited to see what Jake and Ellie were up to before their adventures in chocolatiering! #thedeadcatbounce #sarahgraves #homerepairishomicide
