June is almost here, so I‘ve pulled out #DoorstopKristin and am gearing up to dive in on Sunday for #KLBR. I‘ve got my emotional support dumpster fire on hand just in case. Looking forward to reading along with all of you! What editions are you all reading? Single volume or individual books?

This was more fun than the third volume, but I feel like I keep missing steps in the reasoning and not quite understanding how things connect. I'm told reading the manga helps things come together, so I might do that.

And that was my #BookSpin book, finally, and now just two more books for a blackout on #BookSpinBingo!

I started reading this back in September with my fellow Shardlakians and I just finished it today! Needless to say, I‘m woefully behind in the series but I‘m continuing on and hope to catch up eventually. 😅 This was a reread for me (I last read it in 2011) and it did not disappoint. Part history, part mystery, part fiction and completely entertaining! A great story told by a master storyteller. 4/5⭐️

My sister loaned this one to me quite a long time ago, but because historical mysteries aren't usually my jam, it's been lingering on the TBR pile. I finally picked it up, and honestly it was super adorable. I really liked the characters and even though not everything quite worked, it worked enough 😂 and I'll definitely be reading book two.

Mehso-so

The writing style is muddy, the plot drags, and I‘m getting tired of the dual timeline bit. However, the historical details about San Francisco were great and kept me going. I also enjoyed getting to know Al Sullivan, and hope that in subsequent books, he‘ll embrace his birth identity.

Two murders in the Claremont Hotel spanning two decades. Is Madam Chiang Kai-Shek involved, or is the ghost of Iris Stafford seeking vengeance?

I‘m getting a head start on this book while I‘ve got some time this week, and this line from the introduction caught my attention.

La mujer perdida | Jude Deveraux

El libro narra la historia de amor entre Regan y Travis , que se conocen en los muelles de Inglaterra, y Travis decide acogerla y darle protección, sin embargo debe de regresar a América por lo que se lleva a Regan con el.
Este libro narra una historia muy apasionante y facil de leer, aunque es un poco predecible las acciones de los personajes es muy entretenido. Este libro es recomendado para personas que les gusta el romance.

TheAromaofBooks Yay!! So apparently I don't have very many 500s??? I can't find one anyway 😂 However, I think I own more 600s than any other number - way into applied sciences around here AKA gardening!! So I am going to grab one of those, and if I find a 500 later I'll fit it in. For Fictional Traveler I'm heading to England with Wodehouse, and my ReadorDonate pick is by Nora Roberts - Carolina Moon. I'm excited!!! 15h
Crinoline_Laphroaig #ThematicCozies I'm do another Roof Top Garden mystery by Thea Cambert. 7h
