pickI‘m a sucker for snarky, witty septuagenarians. Add in a stronger than she realizes but later discovers clairvoyant FMC and a hot ex-cop private investigator and it kept me sucked in for an almost 500 pager. This was a crazy and fun wild ride of a book. I def plan to check out the next in this series. Book #6 in 2025

Came across this in A FATAL GRACE by Louise Penny. Definitely something we don't experience in Phoenix, AZ!
January‘s #bookspin is a category - The Storygraph‘s Genre Challenge and I‘m choosing Phoebe and Her Unicorn as my selection for prompt #6: A Graphic Novel by a Woman or Nonbinary Person. #Doublespin is The Songbird and the Heart of Stone. I‘ve been on the fence about starting this one because the next book isn‘t out yet and I KNOW I will want it as soon as I‘m done with this one. Bingo board to come later. 🤩
Joining in #FictionalTraveler with @julieclair & my January #SomeplaceCold pick is set in Alaska. It‘s book #6 in the Alaska Wild mystery series so it will also be a #SeriesLove2025 read too. ❄️ 💙❄️
pickBook 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️
so-soBook 7 read this month. Unpopular opinion. There were parts I really liked in this story, friendship and the relationship between Nicholas and Kris. The romance was cute but I think Nicholas was too dramatic in some parts. Didn‘t like much the plot. Maybe I was expecting too much from this novel. Didn‘t like much as I expected. But maybe I will try book 2?🤷🏽♀️2.5/3⭐️
pickBook 6 read on December. What was this?? 😳I watched the movie, the old one, long time ago but this is the first time I read the book. As always Mr. King described so well the characters and the atmosphere. It was like watching everything, so dysfunctional, pathological, macabre, horrid. Do you think there are fans like that out there?🤔🫣😟
Love this old edition. 4⭐️
pickBook 5 read this month. I really enjoyed this rom-com mystery. I didn‘t expect to like it and not with that retro cover☺️But it has mystery, romance, and it‘s funny. This was the most perfect rom-com crime mystery of the year😂🎄Maybe my Grinch heart 💚 felt something☺️ 3.8⭐️
