Sun, Sand, Murder: A Mystery | John Keyse-Walker

pan

This was a disappointment. A misogynistic philanderer is the only cop on Anegada and someone has been killed, kicking off an investigation in which he does just about everything wrong and the killer reveals themselves to him rather than him solving it. And the who doesn‘t make any sense. It did give me a good sense of place, at least.

One Hundred Summers | Vanessa Branson

pick

Vanessa is Richard Branson‘s sister so I picked this book in the hope that it would feature Necker Island, in the #britishvirginislands for #readingtheamericas23. It does, although barely, but I‘m still counting it! 🤣

I enjoyed the book as a whole; it was a fun romp through 100 years of their family history,but I would have preferred more depth in some places and there were a few too many names to remember.

Librarybelle Hooray! 2y

BarbaraBB You‘re right to do so 😀 2y

A Small Place | Jamaica Kincaid

While I‘m thinking about this week‘s #WeeklyForecast & May‘s #BookSpinBingo , I wanted to prepare my #IslandVibe for #TitlesAndTunes .

I plan to read the tagged for #BritishVirginIslands for #ReadingTheAmericas2023 , so perfect to read it now! The song, which does not feature BVI in the lyrics, brings back lots of fun memories of school bus rides home when I was in elementary school. Both came out in 1988, incidentally.

TEArificbooks I have a very embarrassing video of me, my sister, and cousins making a music video of us lip singing that song. We were all in the 80s clothes with neon shapes and side pony tails. 2y

Librarybelle @TEArificbooks That‘s hilarious! My entire bus would sing along to the song when it came on the radio. Technically, our bus driver was forbidden to play the radio, but for a few months when the song was on top of the charts, we all busted out singing. 2y

Cinfhen I‘m also going with a Jamaica Kincaid novel for #ReadingTheAmericas23 and #TitlesAndTunes

Librarybelle @Cinfhen I think she‘ll be a popular choice for this month! 2y

Cinfhen Hilarious @TEArificbooks and perfect song choice, Jess! I remember when John Stamos sang the song with The Beach Boys - {{swooning}} 2y

Bookzombie This was one of the songs I immediately thought about! 2y

Librarybelle @Bookzombie It‘s a classic, for sure!! 2y

BarbaraBB A song that really belongs on our playlist! Well chosen 🩵 (edited) 2y

Librarybelle Thanks, @BarbaraBB ! 2y

Treefrogs Can't Sing: British Virgin Islands 1978 to 1981 | Lally Brown

pick

The English author lovingly recounts her young family‘s three years in the #BritishVirginIslands or #BVI and events in the #USVirginIslands and the odd hanging and murder here and there. This was a relaxing read, one you can pick up when feeling anxious and enjoy reading about someone‘s life in a mostly peaceful place. A very good coverage of what the islands are like. #readingtheAmericas

Librarybelle Hooray! 2y

Treefrogs Can't Sing: British Virgin Islands 1978 to 1981 | Lally Brown

Probably how the book got its name. This would be miserable.

High and Dry in the Bvi: Amusing Autobiography of an Expat British Virgin Islands 1970-72 | Lally Brown

Look at this! A bunch of books about islands for #readingtheamericas that are hard to find! Of course the one I‘m about to start by this author isn‘t in Litsy. I‘ll add it to the database a little later. But I‘ll probably check out at least a couple of the listed books above.

BarbaraBB That‘s a catch! 2y

Texreader @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle They appear to be self-published so hopefully they‘re ok reads. 2y

BarbaraBB I‘d be curious to know! 2y

Out of the Corner: A Memoir | Jennifer Grey

TOTALLY forgot that Jennifer Grey dated Matthew Broderick😁 and just my luck…they vacationed together in the #BritishVirginIslands #ReadingTheAmericas23 @MallenNC I‘m LOVING this memoir…wayyyyy juicer than Minnie Driver‘s 🙃

Librarybelle, BarbaraBB

vivastory Wasn't that when they were in the car accident? 2y

Cinfhen Yesssssss @vivastory another “fact” a totally forgot about😂 2y

Bklover I may have to read this! I remember the car accident but forgot it was JG with him. Also I read Michael J Fox‘s most recent memoir and he talks about her as his wife‘s best friend, which for some reason I found interesting. 2y

Cinfhen Jennifer talks about her best friend Tracy from HS, it‘s very sweet @Bklover I‘m REALLY enjoying this one. Lots of nostalgia for the 80‘s and Jennifer does not hold back 2y

Librarybelle I keep meaning to read this one 2y

MallenNC Oh yeah this is the opposite of Minnie‘s! So juicy. She has had quite a life and she talks all about it. I loved it. 2y

Megabooks Yes! One of the best celebrity memoirs last year! 2y

Megabooks And I so related to her car accident story. 😢 2y

Cinfhen This is SO in my wheelhouse of celebrity memoirs!!! I can‘t get enough @Librarybelle @britt_brooke definitely go audio if you can!!! 2y

Cinfhen I remember when you read this last year Meg @Megabooks and I bought it on Audible after your review- so glad @MallenNC put this on her #ALspine list!!!! I need to start watching for all your recommendations, Melyssa 🤓 2y
