pickThis was so good! Right up my alley. Which means it's not for everyone. It's a dark satire about everyday racism, about Swiss lifestyle and how we trap ourselves in things we don't actually want. Osagiobare is direct, she can be mean, but in a very dry way. I think some readers will have a problem with seeing themselves in the mirror the author is using here.

bailedDNF- I‘m pretty sure I inherited this one at some point so put it on my #Roll100 list. We have 4 women that had a falling out and went their separate ways. I liked Maria and was concerned about Alexa and the love triangle she was making. I was also interested in Jessica. I just couldn‘t get into it and when Alexa got to Paris I was disappointed in her actions. Unhauling. #DogsofLitsy “Tess”
pickOne of my favorite in the series, with a well realized world and characters you grow attached to in a short time. A sad ending as the portal books tend to be though. 4.5⭐️
#doublespin and another #roll100 pick done! I‘m now caught up with this series too.
A late post for my June #Roll100 picks. I haven‘t started any of these but I‘m looking forward to them.
#81 Any BOTM: Wild Dark Shore—also for #CampLitsy
#98 Any Series Book: The Shadow Cabinet #SeriesLove2025
#42 Any mystery: Laying Down the Latte—also for #FictionalTraveler
My pick for #FictionalTraveler June: #PlaceYoudLikeToVisit This (21st!) book in the Bakeshop Mystery series is set in Costa Rica, a place I‘ve always wanted to visit. 🇨🇷 I was supposed to go there once with Starbucks International but hand to cancel for a family emergency.
This book is also one of my June #Roll100 picks: #42 Any Mystery & is an ARC I just received, so I‘m excited to start it!

pickAbsolutely loved this one! I've never really seen much of Trevor Noah's work but he had a crazy childhood & his storytelling ability was amazing. Born in South Africa during apartheid & growing up in the wake of it, he learned to adapt himself to fit in with different groups. He speaks a ton of languages & does great impressions of his friends and family. I was laughing so much throughout and yet I learned a lot about South African history as well
so-soI didn't love this one, and the ending was a little vague for my tastes. But I did enjoy the Indigenous spirituality aspect of it. The story follows five generations of Metis women as they struggle with their heritage and generational trauma. There were so many POVs but the audiobook did make it easy to follow with a full cast of narrators. The writing itself was beautifully done
