Last Summer,
the guest list...
the family upstairs,
the boy at the keyhole,
the wives,
the sea of lost girls...ghosts of the missing,
you and me and us,
Polite Society?
pickFascinating story! A married journalist is unable to remember a car accident that landed her in the hospital, losing her unborn child, and being pregnant. Naturally, she wants to recall those lost memories. An interview with a famous adventurer helps her put together the memories she has lost. BUT, others are keeping secrets from her too.
Happy hour at #starbucks means happy juice for my reading time, and more for breakfast tomorrow. 🥰 Healthy? Nope. #noregrets 😜 I just finished the tagged book, and it was OK, but honestly I expected more from a Kerry Lonsdale book. I could see any twists coming from a mile away. Meh.
pickCouldn‘t put it down. I wasn‘t expecting the ending at all. It kept my curiosity the whole time! Great read!
pickI actually reviewed this after finishing it for the #24in48 #readathon but didn‘t post Friday‘s blog book tour review pairing. This wasn‘t my favorite of Kerry Lonsdale‘s books but it kept me turning the pages—lots of twists & turns, lies & betrayals & a very interesting premise about a journalist who loses a part of her memories in an accident. I paired it with a summer-perfect Snap Pea, Watermelon, Tomato & Feta Salad. Review/recipe link👇🏻
so-soI won this book in a #goodreadsgiveaway. It was truly just so-so to me. I kept reading to see where it was going but it never really took me to that next level.

Finished book #2 for the readathon & about 7 1/2 hours of reading total. It's a pick although I won't officially review it until next Friday on the blog for a book tour review. And I have to digest it a bit too. 🤔Lots of twists & a bit of suspending disbelief....
Headed to the store & library to pick up a hold, then back to reading.

I got a little morning reading in. Headed out for breakfast, more reading & to run errands. I am at about 60% of this second book of the readathon.

My current book & snack from earlier. It's 12:30 AM & I need to get some sleep. I didn't hit my goal of 6 hours tonight but 5 hours isn't bad. I got to 36% on this one & will finish it up tomorrow--it's pretty intriguing so far. Goodnight! 😴

My sanity keeper during weeks I am leading orientation is Wednesday or Friday mornings with fried rice with an over-easy egg on top, a couple of chapters of a current read, coffee or tea & some 80s pop on Pandora. I can usually can get about 40 minutes in before the next person shows up & I must extrovert (and get to work.) 😉This one is for a book tour review next week.
My finished soup--lunch & blog post for #soupersundays is Red Curry Coconut Shrimp Soup with Jasmine Rice & Veggies. Great, cooling coconut milk, lime & lemongrass with red pepper, baby corn, mushrooms, carrot & snap peas. Really ono! 😋 Recipe link 👇🏻 Starting my #ARC of a new standalone mystery/thriller from Kerry Lonsdale for an upcoming book tour review. I always enjoy her books in my summer reading stacks. ☀️📚
