Bye, Baby: A Novel | Carola Lovering

Pickpick

Backstabbing and betrayal galore! Some of my favorite things to read about. So many secrets between Billie and Cassie. Their relationship is toxic. I couldn‘t turn away.

Bye, Baby: A Novel | Carola Lovering

Finished this puzzle while listening to the tagged book. The book is great so far, I‘m not quite 2/3 thru. I‘ve enjoyed this author‘s work in the past. Her characters are complicated and have such toxic relationships. They‘re so catty, I absolutely love it.

The puzzle is called “A Book Lover‘s Christmas” and it has holiday scenes from a bunch of classic books. I received it for a Christmas gift but am just getting around to it. #audiopuzzling

#bannedbooksunday book #2 is "A Stolen Life" by Jaycee Dugard. This book was banned due to references to drugs, smoking and alcohol, offensive language, sexually explicit content and being deemed "unsuitable" for the age group, as well as "adopting, supporting or promoting gender fluidity".

AprilMae @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I got a list from the Kurt Vonnegut Musems website and it had it on there so I did some more research and yeah, banned. I don't think any books should be banned but way to silence a victim trying to tell their story. 1mo

A novella from the Rip in Time series, Cocktails & Chloroform finds Mallory and Gray uncovering a trafficking ring preying on young Edinburgh women. A fast paced adventure that is a 3.5 ⭐️ blast.

Stolen: Escape from Syria | Louise Monaghan, Yvonne Kinsella

This was my first completed book of 2025. I wanted to read it because Nicola Coughlan is rumored to play the author.

At first you can tell Ms. Monaghan is not a professional writer. But, it doesn't matter. That's the point. She is not a writer, she's a mom. She's a mother who has to creep her way into SYRIA on the precipice of the war to RESCUE her baby from a very abusive man. I was sobbing.

Long Time Gone | Charlie Donlea

This is the second book I‘ve read from this author & they are riveting. Each seem to be stand alone books, not a series. Can you imagine being a pathologist fellow checking out forensic genealogy and discovering that you are the missing baby charlotte from 30 years ago!

3 Stars • The last book in the Aunties trilogy. • The Good, the Bad, and the Aunties by Jesse Q. Sutanto focuses on family, cultural identity, and humor, set against the backdrop of Chinese-Indonesian traditions. During Chinese New Year in Jakarta, Meddy and her family face chaos when an ex of Second Aunt tries to win her back, leading to a dangerous gift mix-up. The family must navigate comedic and risky situations to retrieve the gift.

willaful I liked the idea I saw somewhere that browsing for books when you don\'t feel up to reading is a way to keep in contact with the thing you love. 5mo

This is the last installment of the aunties series. It was cute, full of the antics we‘ve come to love. I think book two was my favorite of the three, but they‘re all fun, easy reads.
