I love a good long con/heist storyline. This was fun and quick. Great narrator on the audio.

My first finish of the year (took a bit… been a slow reading start to the year)

First book in the Fox and O‘Hare series (#SeriesLove2024)

This was pretty light weight, but I found it a lot of fun. O'Hare and Fox are a fun couple, with great chemistry, I plan to read more of their adventures together. For some reason, I kept hearing Kate Beckett and Richard Castle's voices for Kate & Nick. I see the Beckett/O'Hare similarities, but Nick is nothing like Castle. 4 🏝🏝🏝🏝

Kate O'Hare's favorite outfit was her blue windbreaker with the letters FBI written in yellow on the back, worn over a basic black t-shirt and matching black Kevlar vest.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description or reason for wanting to read the book. Some are old and some will be new. Don't judge me - I have a lot of books.

Kate finally catches the con artist/thief she‘s been chasing for years only to have the FBI release him & worse yet assign her to work with him.

Funny. Witty, snappy writing. A good first for this collaborative series!

Getting some light reading in this afternoon at my desk since I'm caught up on my recons. Trying this one in print since I wasn't a fan of the audio narrator.

My first audiobook I have DNF's due to the narrator. It isn't that I even disliked the narrator, but that the dry, deep, authoritative voice was not right for this lighthearted female protagonist book! Guess I'll pick up the paper of this one when I have time.

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I just can‘t do audiobooks!! It feels so wrong 🤣😂 6y
Louise The right voice is so important! It can make or break the audiobook experience. 6y
LoverofLit Oh gosh @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks You are missing out! I always felt the same way but now I've fell in LOVE with some books. There's nothing like listening to a good memoir read by that person. 6y

LoverofLit @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Different strokes for different folks right?! As Amy Poehler said (in her amazing self narrated memoir 😉) Good for you! Not for me! 6y

Mehso-so

I really wanted to like this, after all I loved Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series, but it was too over the top. By 73% I didn't even care whether they pulled off their heist, I just wanted to be done with it.

Erinsuereads I have the same feelings. I really haven‘t liked anything outside of the Stephanie plum books. Even those are getting kind of old for mw 6y
bookandbedandtea @ErinSueG Truthfully, I only got about halfway through the Stephanie Plum books. But they were clever and funny, I just got tired of them. 6y
Erinsuereads They just became too repetitive. I mostly still read them for grandma mazur 😂😂😂 6y

Giving audiobooks another try. Any recommendations for narrators you love would be much appreciated!

Gail Bowen writes contemporary and wonderfully Canadian mysteries and her protagonist, Joanne Kilbourn, is one of my favourite female leads. She is smart, determined, and strong minded and she never fails to inspire even when you find yourself disagreeing with her choices. #readingresolutions #femalelead @Jess7

Tonight‘s #audiobook ♥️

I‘ve hardly read at all so far this month, but audiobooks are making it easier to cross a few more books off my #neverendingtbr 📚

TK421 I enjoyed reading this one.👍 6y
Jennifer3 I‘ve been the same way so far this year. 6y
GlassAsDiamonds Oh dear, this book!!! (I accidentally stole it from a friend.... forgot it was on loan on my shelves then packed it and shipped it to another country when we moved!! 😱🤦🏻‍♀️😱🤦🏻‍♀️😱🤦🏻‍♀️). I have only JUST managed to get it back to its owner. 6y

Bella came to us in August. She was mean in the beginning and would bite or scratch, I am slowly winning her over. She now will let me pet her and she often waits for me. #catsoflitsy

This was a really fun read. If you took Sandra Bullock's character from Miss Congeniality and Matt Bomer's character from White Collar and made them partners, it would be like this. It might sound weird, but it works. Good chemistry and tension between them.

When you start a new audio book series and you dont like the guy's voice. 😬

Jenshootsweddings I hate that! 7y
JeaMar82 Me too. I'm not sure I want to continue it but I need an audio book to listen to while I drive 😂 @Jenshootsweddings 7y

I bought these books at my local Kmart's liquidation sale when they closed. They caught my eye because of their classic #SilhouettesOnCovers and got them because I love #JanetEvanovich's #StepheniePlumb series but I haven't read them yet! May have to move them up the TBR list!
