I listened to this quick novella in the Kate Burkholder Series prepping supper. Seeds of Deception takes place when Kate is 14 years old. She has to decide who is telling the truth between her Amish friend, Maggie, or a teenage Englisher. It was a different take on the other books by Linda Castillo. Kathleen McInerrey is a great narrator.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

This is my #TBRtarot read for May. “Let someone else pick your book.”

Brian did a great job! This is book 7 in the Teddy Fay series & Stone Barrington put in an appearance. I just love these characters.
Stuart Woods passed away in 2022 & Battles has done a great job taking over the two series.

This is one of my all-time favorite books and I have read it probably 25-30 times over my lifetime. The characters, the setting, the fact that a few of the moments in this book still make me choke up even after all these rereads - this book is close to perfect to me.

SO IT WAS A COMPLETE SHOCK to find out that in the 1940s random sentences/paragraphs were edited out!!! The edition I grew up reading, despite clearly saying it was “unabridged“ ⬇

I read this in 2016. I love Harlan Coben & his books. When I saw that Nobody‘s Fool was a sequel to this I couldn‘t figure out where Coben would be taking us. Soooo, I reread this so I can go into Nobody‘s Fool with it fresh in my mind.
Typical twisty Coben.

I finished listening to our May #WithTheBanned #WTB25 book. I‘m looking forward to our discussion. According to the author‘s website, the book is loosely based on her oldest daughter‘s addiction to crystal meth.

Hello everyone! I've been on a bit of a hiatus since I was traveling for work for the last two months and it really cut in to my reading time. The nerve! This month, I'm going to see how many of the books I meant to read in March and April are actually getting finished. But first, on to the tagged new release that I am so excited to start!

As in Feb, I'm doing two lists, one to pick my #bookspin books and the second for the #bookspinbingo board.

This was boring. Maybe the audiobook was a bad choice.

Rich Mullins was a Christian musician in the 80s/90s, who died in a car accident in 1997. This book, written by a good friend of his a few years later, is an odd sort of biography. It doesn't really outline his life or career, but rather looks at key aspects of Rich's faith and beliefs through his lyrics and writing. I grew up on Rich's music and it definitely has shaped the way I view God and His love; Rich's lyrics still can hit me sideways ⬇

The fourth Dolittle book is set back in England. As usual (because of his generous nature) Dolittle is broke, so the pushmi-pullyu agrees to travel with a circus to raise some funds. So the entire household sets off together. This book was a lot about the importance of animal comfort and care and was definitely ahead of its time in calling out circuses and the like for their treatment of animals. There were some fun moments (Dolittle getting ⬇

I‘ve finished my May #DoubleSpin book.
I loved the Cerulean Sea duology. So when my nephew asked me if I‘d read book 1 in Klune‘s YA series, I happily agreed.
It‘s not on the same level as Cerulean but it still had great moments that made me feel the story. I laughed and I felt the characters‘ pain and sadness.
My nephew LOVED it btw. 🏳️‍🌈
