Welcome to Litsy!

Oldie but a goody. Needed an easy but interesting read, and this fit the bill perfectly.

How funny that I end the month with this book. Enjoyed my first #Bookspinbingo. Thanks to @TheAromaofBooks for coming up with it and #bookspin. My July bingo board! No Bingo maybe August will be better for me 😉

Started off good than kind of puttered out.

Finished this one right in time for my book club‘s discussion of it. Felt this was a pretty obvious thriller and wasn‘t shocked with the “twists”. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought the concept of this story was going to be a lot more interesting and exciting than it was. The characters fell a little bit flat for me and the story got a little far fetched in sports. I liked the idea, but had a hard time staying interested in this one.

This book simply lacked the necessary momentum to create suspense. Great premise: a pregnant woman is murdered and she had already survived a traumatic experience earlier in her life. So, who killed her? Surprisingly, this is where the story became dull. The authors drags the story on way too long while prolonging the mystery. By the time the killer was revealed, I was happy to know that the book was coming to an end. I had higher hopes...

I am being delinquent on posting my reviews on Litsy this month so I am going to do a few. This might be my first Luanne Rice book—though I have caught a few movies adapted from them back in the day. Two sisters who were locked in the basement of the family art gallery during a robbery that killed their mother dealt differently with their trauma, two decades later, one sister is killed & the same famous painting is taken. Decent thriller...

Lunch & my desk lunch (ahi poke on multigrain rice & mango green tea from across the street, roasted seaweed sheets & tangerines). It‘s probably my last day reading this book as I am about 80% done & should finish up tonight for a book tour review on Friday. 📚🍽

Today‘s lunch and #soupersundays blog post is Ellie Krieger‘s Mushroom Stroganoff Soup from the cookbook tagged👇🏻 in comments. It‘s rich, creamy, vegetarian & full of delicious mushroom flavor. I think it‘s my favorite from the 3 soups I‘ve tried so from the cookbook. 😋🍄🍲Recipe link👇🏻

Here with one of my current reads for a book tour review later on this week. It‘s not bad so far but I‘m about 40% in so the jury is still out. 😉
