My library #BookHaul last week. I went in to pick up my hold on Brave-Hearted for #RiseUpReads The library book store was having a half-off sale on adult fiction & I got the tagged book (from my TBR), Frozen River (in case I don‘t finish my library e-book loan in time), & Magic Steeped in Poison (because it is pretty & the story looked good) for $1 each. The book🐔says it was a good deal & haul!😉

#SundayFunday “What‘s the last book you bought?”

Airframe: A Novel | Michael Crichton

so-so

Forty-something single mother, Casey Singleton, works at Norton Aircraft & when a report comes in of an issue with flight TPA 545, Casey is on the team asked to investigate. An initial contact with the pilot has him blaming turbulence but this isn't backed up by external evidence, & the flight crew are suddenly whisked away before Casey has a chance to conduct interviews. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf When the team finally enters the fuselage it is obvious that something strange happened aboard the flight leaving two people dead & several others badly injured. Just what is being covered up, by who, & why?

There was a lot of technical jargon & many acronyms in this book but it was still surprisingly interesting to read. Most of the narrative is from Casey's point of view, although a little later in the book we get several chapters from a local 1mo

OutsmartYourShelf reporter's viewpoint. The technology (faxes, beepers, etc) are like going back to the stone age now & I would have guessed 1980s as a publishing date, yet it was released in 1996. It's not action-packed but it's a decent thriller for its age.

3.25⭐- it was above average.

The Aviator's Wife: A Novel | Melanie Benjamin

so-so

Melanie Benjamin can write. Her characters come alive and her atmosphere is superb. Unfortunately, I found her main characters to be wretched people and resented spending time with them.

I Was Amelia Earhart | Jane Mendelsohn

so-so

9th book finished for #Read2025 and #JumpStart2025 @DieAReader @LizPixie

I was looking forward to this short audiobook but felt quite underwhelmed by it. Disappointing as I was looking forward to finding out much more about this remarkable woman. It had a nice creative lyrical style, but was lacking in depth and detail.

Lizpixie At least it had some redeeming points.👍 2mo

DieAReader 🫂🤞🏻Hopefully your #Next book is better. 2mo

Andrew65 @DieAReader Thanks, you win some you lose some. 2mo

Fly Girls: How Five Daring Women Defied All Odds and Made Aviation History | Keith O'Brien

Growing up you only hear about Amelia Earhart as one of the first woman aviatrix because her story was so dramatic. This book includes all the other woman that paved women‘s way into the air and into jobs that were normally for men only. Interesting historical non-fiction read ☺️
