pickIsn't it annoying when the last 40 pages aggravate you so much that it brings down your overall feeling for the book?? This was a 4* read for me until the final misunderstanding, which left it as a borderline so-so. The main story employs a marriage of convenience, which is pretty much my favorite trope. Tessa and Leo are both likable characters, although I would have liked more from the supposed decades-long feud between their families. In the⬇️
Just a bit late posting my May #Bookspin TBR. The five blanks were for #TrappedOnAnIsland, but I didn't see anything for this month. I'll have my kids pick something for me :)

The group that was the big winner in April was #SeriesLove2023. I didn‘t realize I‘d read so many of the books on that list 🤓 I‘m also happy with the number of books I‘ve cleared off my shelves already this year.

I read several #Roll100 books in April. Just not any of the ones rolled 🤷🏼♀️
Otherwise, I did really well on my other challenges.

An enjoyable week of reading. 7/8 books were #SeriesLove2023 reads. I also finished my #BookSpin book and another #TrappedonanIsland book.
This week I‘ll be starting #BuddyRead books for #Naturalitsy, #RandomClassics & #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD & one of my #AuthorAMonth books.
Here‘s my #MayTBR in alphabetical order.

Well my week went slightly off course. Instead of In a Dark Dark Wood for #aam I read The Farewell Tour because it came in at the library and I wanted to read it before it‘s due back! Dark Wood isn‘t in demand, so it will keep another week.
I read Still Waters & Three Men in a Boat for #trappedonanisland
This week I‘m dropping everything to read my ARC of The Road to Roswell, an upcoming release by one of my favorite authors!
pickBook 2 in the Booker Brothers Detective Agency series was, I think, better than the first. We spent more time with the characters & may have an interesting series storyline set in motion. Fun, quick cozy mystery.
