pickA fun, light-hearted mystery involving the art world and a priceless vase. There is also a falling in love story between Eugenia and Cyrus. I enjoyed reading this.
1. After stepping up when my boss quit with no notice, I got a promotion and raise!
2. My husband has been so supportive throughout the last month.
3. I found a mutual aid organization to join.
4. I'm so grateful for the kindness on Litsy. There's a lot of vitriol on my other social media, so this is a needed respite.
5. Just grateful for books and knowledge and learning.

bailedOomph. I usually really like Krentz‘s stories - a good mix of suspense and romance with sometimes a dash of magical realism - but this one, nope. Originally published in #1983 , let‘s just say that it would not be published now (thoughts in the comments - it‘s a massive TW):
I tried to listen to the whole story, but I just could not. Take my advice - don‘t bother with this one.
bailedRecently bailed on these two books. They were not giving me what I was expecting. I didn‘t want to force myself to read books I‘m not enjoying.

pickA typical romance mystery book, but very good. Nice quick read with some turns and twists. 🪷 March book finally done!
so-soOriginally published in #1986 , this one by Krentz does not quite stand the test of time for me. The possessive attitude of Gideon, the male lead, was a bit grating. Romance aside, I liked the premise of the story - anthropological findings and danger at every turn. Themes of list and greed too. #192025 #1986 #52bookclub23 #featuringoneofthesevendeadlysins

Decided to switch up books for a new one I just got. It‘s a little shorter and easier to digest. I‘m a month ahead so I can take my time on this one! 🪷
so-soFrom water philosophies to murder to spaceships, this #1997 novel by Krentz has quite a lot of quirky elements. I listened to it, and I was not a fan of the voice narration. Plus, the male lead was just creepy - the choice of voice by the narrator did not help. Krentz builds great romantic suspense, and this one did not disappoint in the romance category. I have enjoyed others by her more than this one; just an okay read for me. #192025
