#WeeklyForecast - I didn't post one last week because I wasn't home, and felt oddly adrift this week!! Currently reading a batch of 5 87th Precinct books, which I have been doing off and on for several months - 55 books in the series & I am in the 30s now haha This group has felt a little more ...over-the-top gritty, I guess. Haven't enjoyed them as much.

Anyway, planning to finish the tagged book & read Heat, then on to The Switch for #LMPBC. ⬇️

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) The MHC book is from a box of random mystery books that @EadieB sent me a while back & I am still working through. Would Like to Meet & I've Got Your Number are both fro the romcom buying binge I went through in June. Mystery Mountain is a MG book I've had since, oh, 2003 & have never read. 😂 Beauty Sleep is a random book from the TBR, & the Peretti books I've been meaning to reread for like a decade & have been on my “short“ list ⬇ 4y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) since May's #BookSpinBonanza yet still haven't gotten read!!! Maybe it will really happen this week!!

I didn't end up participating in #JubilantJuly which was sad for me, as I usually love the longer readathons. Hopefully I'll be ready for August instead!!

Andrew65 You‘re always welcome 😊👍 Ed McBain books remind me of my youth! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Marydent - here on Litsy MG usually refers to Middle Grade, so books aimed at readers ages 8-13 ish 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 - for the most part, I have been really enjoying them. Batches of five are just about right for getting into the groove but not having them feel too same-y haha 4y
rabbitprincess Are you at the Eighty Million Eyes / Eight Black Horses part of the 87th series? One of those two was way too gritty for teenage me, but I can‘t remember which one 😳 4y
TheAromaofBooks @rabbitprincess - I read Eighty Million Eyes a while back... I don't specifically remember that one being too gritty, but it may have been haha Eight Black Horses should be in my next batch, and it looks like it stars the Deaf Man, my favorite villain. Out of this batch, Calypso was just tooooo over-the-top for me - there was a lot of gratuitous sex, a bizarre reason for the crime, & a torture scene that went too far - I get squeamish!! 4y
rabbitprincess @TheAromaofBooks I think it was gritty in the sense of having a really naughty sex scene 😳 I love the Deaf Man books too! My all time fave 87th book is 4y
Cinfhen Hope you had a nice time at the cabin💗Happy belated anniversary 4y
TheAromaofBooks @rabbitprincess - I really enjoyed that one, too!!! 4y
TheAromaofBooks @Cinfhen - Thank you!!! I really lucked out in the husband department!! 😍 4y
Cinfhen Awwwww 🥰 4y
