Not all the time, or often—just now and then—the light hits the pieces of colored glass just right, and for what may be just a fleeting moment, everything looks beautiful. If a person doesn‘t ask too many questions about what happened yesterday or what‘s going to happen next. If she can just look at this one brief moment in time, without asking for more 🫧
Finall the April BOTM picks are live!
What is everyone thinking!?!
pickThis follow up to Count the ways was everything I didn‘t know I needed until I started reading. Between the two books is a family saga with all the ups and downs, wins and losses, etc. Told in mostly short chapters it is a fast read. Loved it!
Read for #TransRightsReadathon. My first choice was Meet Cute Diary which I had to DNF as it was way to YA for my 65 year old brain 😂
panFinished it, and read the sneak peek of the next book, and yup, it‘s definitely quit-the-series time. Lazy plot-manipulation, plummeting characterization, and one of my least-favorite ways to resolve a ~love triangle~. It‘s kind of a shame, because this was a really enjoyable series in the beginning, but now? Byeeeeee. ✌🏻 #booktownmysteries #handbookforhomicide #lornabarrett
Once I finish this, I‘m 99% sure I won‘t continue with the series. Tricia is a judgy bitch, and her obsession with food and gaining weight is obnoxious. Not to mention, the writing is just getting bad. Although I love Mr. Everett so much, there‘s not enough of him to make this worth it. 🤷🏻♀️ #booktownmysteries #lornabarrett #cozymystery #handbookforhomicide
pickLoved this sequel to “Count the Ways,” which picks up in 2010 and follows Eleanor and her family through 2024 —with mention of many of the historical events in America. (Trigger warnings if you don‘t want to relive several school shootings, the 2016 election, the pandemic, George Floyd‘s murder or the Jan. 6 insurrection of the Capitol, for example.) These characters feel real to me now and I will miss them.

Just downloaded this one from Hoopla —the sequel to “Count the Ways.” I‘d forgotten that Eleanor‘s oldest son is transgender! So I‘m jumping in and participating in #transrightsreadathon. ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
