#IdiomInsight

#OnThinIce is an idiom that describes when someone is doing something risky or dangerous & engaging in behavior that may cause them trouble. The phrases came into use in the 1800s & alludes to the fact that ice that is too thin to support someone‘s weight will break and cause the person to fall into the water.

This is book 1 in a favorite Alaska-set series where the MC, Beth, is often on thin ice. I just finished the ARC of book 5.

This was a solid start to a mystery series set in Alaska.

I really enjoyed the main character, Beth, and the trauma she's overcoming.

This was more straight-forward mystery and not much thriller. Not that that's a problem-it was nice reading a quiet mystery.

Definitely recommend if you like this genre.

It was a good week, last week. I read the two kids books on Sunday so I could get them back to the library. “A Blizzard of Polar Bears“ was finished and in time for the next one is the series to be coming my way via the library.

“Thin Ice“ is halfway read and entertaining. I've already get book 2 c/out.

“The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe“ was read 20+ years ago and I've felt the itch to delve into Narnia again.

Today's plans... Low-key and lovely.

Thriller writer Beth Rivers has run to small town Alaska after escaping her abductor who remains at large. Right as she arrives, a local citizen has been found dead and turns out her hotel is really something else. I really like this and my mom LOVED it, so much so that I‘m headed to the library in a few days to pick up the next installment to read to her. Thanks to @DebinHawaii for putting this series on my radar!

Atmospheric and fast paced.

Finished this one from the library so I can read my #ARC of the 2nd book that published yesterday. I love books set in Alaska & got sucked right into this one. Beth, a well-known thriller author barely escaped a stalker who kidnapped her for 3 days. She‘s hiding out in remote town in Alaska with only the sheriff aware of who she is, a brain injury affecting her memory of the ordeal & her kidnapper still at large. She‘s asked for her help in ⬇️

Tonight‘s dinner is a poke bowl with my two standbys, Hawaiian Style Ahi & California Roll with brown rice & seaweed to wrap it up in.

I took the 2nd book in this mystery series as an #ARC for review & since I can‘t stand to not read a series in order, I got this 1st book as a library e-book. I do love books set in Alaska.🧊❄️ 💙

This was a page turning mystery that I really enjoyed! I cannot wait for the 2nd book to release later this year!

Book #11 of 2020

I read this book incredibly fast and I want more!

So excited for this ARC from Paige Shelton!! It's not a cozy, which is a bit of departure, but it sounds REALLY good, and I can't wait to dive in!
