My son and fam are going to Rome, Greece, Turkey and Malta!
Always great to have my sister closer again.
I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

pickIt's always the surprises we remember most, and Joyland was, for me, the epitome of an unanticipated gem hiding in King's canon. While I certainly enjoyed King's first foray into the world of Hard Case Crime, Joyland is miles beyond that first effort. Engaging and likable characters, a unique setting, a compelling mystery, and a touch of the supernatural combine to make this an unforgettable ride. 5/5
Well, I'm still working on the #JanuaryISpyBingo with another spot with this book. It was a bust for February @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks
pickThis was sitting on my floor on my TBR list for a year now. So, for #BackListReadathon, I decided to pick it up this month. I was not disappointed. I have not seen the movie, but I will as I like Liam Neeson. Sonenparts were pretty gruesome, but that doesn't bother me. It was also good for #ReadAway2024 @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 @DieAReader @GHABI4ROSES
pickWhat an incredible, albeit all too brief book this was. I'm sure many will be put off by elements they feel are missing, but ultimately this book poses a fascinating mystery, expertly told by two of the best storytellers out there to one of the most likable audience surrogates I've come across in King's work. My only real gripe? I want so much more - of Dave, of Vince, and of Stephanie. Considering a good story shouldn't overstay its welcome, 5/5.
Here‘s my last #bookspin of 2023. Displayed in order as they await to be placed on the bingo board. This challenge has helped me read more books than ever before and so many off my TBR shelves. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks for doing this every year!
pickI finished this tonight and came straight here just to share how much I enjoyed it.
This one does have a slower pace, but it flows so smoothly from lightly reminiscent, to tense, to depths of emotion I found surprising. The characters were relatable and the plot went in unexpected directions. And the ending left me emotionally drained in a ball on my couch... but in a good way.
Overall, I really liked this one and would definitely recommend it
