AnnCrystal 🤩 Amazingly Beautiful 👏🏼😍👍🏼🐝💝. 2d

BooksandCoffee4Me Beautiful! I see them in the water ways in our farmland here, but never in trees. 😮💛 2d

dabbe I would get in a car wreck because I would be totally #gobsmacked looking at them! 💛🐝🖤 2d

Reggie Sooo good! 1d

julieclair @BooksandCoffee4Me They spend their days in the waterways here, too. They only come to the trees towards evening. I read online that they like to spend their nights in trees/bushes because they‘re safer from predators if they‘re off the ground. That makes a lot of sense, since our alligators can‘t climb trees. (Although occasionally one does manage to climb up a few steps!) 16h

julieclair @dabbe I often see people pulled to the side of the road looking at them! 16h

DebinHawaii Wonderful! 💛🐝🖤I love the cattle egrets here too. I see them on the highway & in the neighborhood. I especially love it when they follow yard guys with leaf blowers single file to pick up insects & things they might stir up. Makes me smile! 10h

Don't Believe It | Charlie Donlea

so-so

Grace Sebold is ten years into a life sentence for the murder of her boyfriend Julian when documentary filmmaker Sidney Ryan agrees to take a look at the case. This was okay…a bit repetitive and misused blood splatter, which I found sort of weird. Lots of red herrings and the ending was unexpected, but also not the most riveting book of its type I have read.

A plot filled with twists and turns that challenge preconceived notions about guilt and innocence. As the journalist Sydney Ryan digs deeper, the stakes escalate, making it a compelling read that probes the nature of belief and the media‘s role in shaping public perception. I think I just found my new favorite author. I couldn‘t wait to sit down and read and find out what happened next. Donlea kept me coming back for more!

What a page turner! I was hooked right from the start. You think you know what‘s going on, then it gets turned on you as you hear a different version of something. Really well done. I wish it ended just slightly differently, it was a bit too abrupt at the end. But otherwise great.

I don't watch or listen to dramatized real crime shows. This book is about a real crime show, with entire chapters describing the setup and film directions of the show. I find it boring. Just not my thing.

To Carnival!: A Celebration in St Lucia | Baptiste Paul

My January (tracked) reading. I'm chipping away at my backlog of modern children's books (I try to know what's out there to gift to friends' kids and also for fast URC solutions haha). The only book here I DO NOT recommend is “A River's Gifts“. It plays fast and loose with facts and assumes children are too stupid for nuance. It's also not written by Klallam people and it shows. The two queer romances are both @willaful's fault, thank you. ❤

willaful Any time. 😊 1y
