Omg what a great volume and a very Anya-centric one as the opening story started with her getting her puppy as a reward from the last volume.
And what a puppy. He's larger than her, fluffy, and a protective cinnamon roll and I love him.
This good boy protected Anya throughout the entire volume, risking himself from all the dangers that kept coming and without spoiling too much got into himself adopted by the Forgers 🥰

Expand Your Horizons 2024 task, a book with a one word title.

Spy thrillers aren't my go-to genre but it reads more like the National Treasure movie franchise with more dismembered body parts but predictable in... of-course-someone-will-double-cross-another.

tpixie The movie was a corny, tongue in cheek caper. Very different from the book! 3d

Haha omg Twilight is a fantastic and shameless liar and I love him.

This volume started with dinner with Yuri, Yor's brother who is not who he says he is but then again is anyone in this story who they say they are 😂
The tension between Yor and Twilight, the action, the espionage, and the dodgeball scene had me laughing along with each new mission.

Honestly, this is a 🌟🌟🌟 rating. It's cute. Predictable and had some pacing issues. It was slow to start...and when it found its groove...bam thr story is over. But still entertaining. #bookspin @thearomaofbooks

At 12% into the story, I‘m just not loving it, and quite honestly, I‘m not invested enough to continue. I purely checked this out for the hype, which I usually wait for a very long time before curiosity gets the best of me, but sadly it‘s just not for me. There are plenty of other books out there to try!

Hooked_on_books You‘re really not missing anything. I found it entertaining enough, but pretty ludicrous. I‘m bewildered by the hype around it. 1w

Librarybelle Thanks, @5feet.of.fury ! I just was not feeling it 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w
tpixie The movie was a corny, tongue in cheek caper. Very different from the book! The hype was no one knew who the author was and some thought it was Taylor Swift! 3d
Librarybelle @tpixie I heard the Taylor Swift rumor! 😂 3d
tpixie @Librarybelle 😂 I enjoyed the campy humor in the movie. It wasn‘t Oscar- worthy, but was fun. 3d
Librarybelle @tpixie Good to know! 3d

This was fine. But there are other spy thrillers out there that I liked a whole lot more. Like James Rollins, Steve Berry, Ted Bell. Basically glad I got this out of my holds even though it seems to have lost its hype.

#springskies #involvesart This is the 2nd Gabriel Allon book I have read.It is a fast paced,complex thriller,that is impeccably researched.Allon is an art restorer & and reluctant Mossad agent/assassin,who is painstakingly restoring a Bellini painting in a Catholic Church in Venice.There is a plot to assassinate the current Pope from within the Vatican because of his plans to heal the breach between Catholics & the Jews. 🔽

kspenmoll Allon is trusted with this recent Pope‘s protection as he is doing the unprecedented for the Church: opening sealed archives so the world can have evidence of Pope Pius‘s silent role during the Holocaust.In doing so he hopes this act will be a step towards reconciliation with the Jews. 2w
Librarybelle I really liked the first in the series. I want to get back to these some day… 2w
kspenmoll @Librarybelle I am listening to them which I‘ve enjoyed. I hope to now go in order from this book on. Allon is a compelling character - he is a healer & destroyer. He seems to struggle w that. 2w
