Number 12 in the bookmobile cat mystery series. It's getting a touch repetitive, but there was a culmination to one story arc in this book so that was sweet. Just another mystery that Minnie "has" to solve because apparently, law enforcement hasn't learned that they're never going to best her. #51-2024

Meh. A library book club pick, something I wouldn‘t have chosen and I didn‘t really enjoy it. I didn‘t like the way it was written, it was from Corky‘s point of view and also a narrator. I felt like it tried too hard to sugar coat segregation and came off as being told from June Cleavers point of view. It was very whitewashed. Book #51 in 2024

Once There Were Wolves | Charlotte McConaghy

First book I read by this author and I will say I liked the writing style and the story, at least this one. There is a murder and people in the remote Highlands blame the wolves. Inti knows that this attack was not made by the wolves, then by who. She is working with a team to protect the wolves but this project is not well received by the community. But the story is more than that, is about Inti, who can be seen as unlikable character⬇️

Gissy (Cont.)..difficult, confrontative person. But then you know about her sister, her relationship with her mother, her father, and you will have another perspective of the whole situation, why she doesn‘t trust others why is difficult for her to be receptive to new relationships. All those situations in only 256 pages. Wow! That was amazing as a writer. There are some triggers like sexual abuse/assault. 4/4.5⭐️ 10mo
Gissy I forgot, it is a slow pace reading.

Book 2 in the Liz Danger series lived up to book 1. Looking very forward to book 3. So glad I found that Crusie and Mayer were writing together again. Such fun. #51-2023

Not the mystery I was expecting, but many twists and turns. The first twist was odd, given the POV. The last one in the epilogue, I didn‘t see coming! Book #51 in 2023

Another August review 😲
I liked it but not as much as I expected or as much as many readers. You know by now what this book is about. So interesting to see how awful and terrible the media can be and how dark a person can be transformed to gain attention and to be “famous”...at all cost. All characters are unlikable but I think those aspects can be worst in the real world. All those part were interesting to me. But⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) But half of the book was repetitive of what June would do or would not, always in constant justification of her decisions🤦🏽‍♀️I know, is a defense mechanism but is was too much. So for me this was okay 3.5⭐️But I love my beautiful edition😍

BarbaraBB I see what you mean. Thinking back of it it made less of a lasting impact than when I had just finished it and thought it would. 1y

23 #51 This book was maddening. It was too good to stop reading but not good enough to continue. I literally put it down twice deciding not to continue only to return later. A good story that could have been told better. Too many details about things that were not pertinent to the story and also didn‘t help with character development. And not enough details early enough about the things that did. Glad I finished but can‘t really recommend.
