What a fun reminder of how infuriating it is to be female! This book was incredibly frustrating and very sad, but it was very good.

Just a potato puppy (even though she is 7) appreciation post. She‘s a cuddly snoozy suzy. We love our Justice Ginsburg❤️

This book was a fast, fun read!

Well, this definitely wasn‘t as good as the first. When did Violet become a whiny, lovesick little girl instead of a brilliant badass? I also didn‘t love that there was a MUCH heavier focus on the ✨spice✨ than the last book…but that‘s personal preference. And don‘t even get me started on how many “ah ha!” moments the characters had without actually fully explaining their revelation. Overall, still enjoyed…just not as much as the first.

I held off reading this book, because I was worried it wouldn‘t live up to the hype…welp, I was wrong. I finished it in less than 2 days. I was so desperate to start the next that I started reading the online sample😂.

Much like the last book of her‘s that I read, it took a long time to get into. Unlike the last one, it never really hooked me. This one was just ok.

We‘ve bought a book in this series each time we‘ve gone to New Orleans. Guess it‘s time for a return trip! This was even better than the first!

A book based on New Orleans legends and lore, in New Orleans, by a New Orleans author? Yes, please. Her writing made me feel like I was there. I could picture the actual places in my head, and it made me want to go back immediately.

It took me absolutely forever to slog through this. I found it incredibly boring. I went into it expecting to be scared, since it‘s categorized as horror, but I assure you it is not as expected. This book was a huge disappointment.

This was an interesting read. The story wasn‘t mind-blowing by any means, but I was entertained no less.

I really didn‘t think the library‘s 21 days would be enough time for me to read this chonker…they do realize some people have to work, right?? But, I did it! With 2 days to spare! It was another really good one in the series. However, this time, I was left on a cliffhanger, and I haaaaate thaaaaat😭.

This was a little slow at first, but then the pace took a 180, and I couldn‘t put it down.

Reading about these institutions always makes me so sad and angry. I had to reread the ending…didn‘t even realize what was happening as a read it! Overall, a good read, but obviously not an enjoyable subject matter.

This book took forever to pick up. I don‘t think I actually got invested until the last 60 pages.

It took me FOREVER to get through this, and, of course, it hooked me at the end…making me consider reading the second one. How dare you?!

I finished this quite awhile ago and completely forgot to mention it! It kept my attention, but I guessed who was behind it all pretty easily.

This book became available to borrow at my library, so I paused my current book…again. This series was light and quick reading, but I enjoyed it all the same!

Another relatively superficial, easy read, but I enjoyed it all the same! I actually quite like this series.

This book was so wholesome and delightful. I loved it! I read it in a day!

I guessed the initial twist and sort of guessed the final twist, but the book somehow ended up being more than I thought it would be. I enjoyed it!

I was finally able to finish this one on my lunch break! This book started off pretty slow, but turned into a heartwarming story with a good cast of characters.

This is currently moving quite slowly, but I‘m hoping it‘ll pick up…🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

This book was absolutely awful. I often times wondered if it was written by a 13 year old…the writing was incredibly immature. Truly terrible. I slogged through it for a month. I should have bailed, but by the time I realized how bad it was, I was too far in and had wasted too much time.

Oh, man. I really liked this one. Great story that I couldn‘t put down, and such a wholesome friendship.

This was such a disappointment compared to the other 2 books. I honestly just wanted it to end. I understand how unlikely the scenario of the first 2 books is, but the 3rd went past ludicrous. At least in the first 2, Pip was believably intelligent…she somehow lost all common sense in this one. Bummer, dude.

I‘m not done yet, but I‘m frustrated. I am fully aware that this series is far fetched, but Pip has always been clever. In this one, it was very obvious who the killer was, and she somehow missed it…and she continues to make completely ridiculous decisions. I needed a quick vent, because I am very frustrated. Rant over.

I was going to read a different book, but I might as well just keep the ball rolling, huh?

I continue to enjoy this series! Yet another one I didn‘t want to put down!

I think I liked the idea of this book more than I liked the actual book. The pace was a bit too slow for me.

My last book attempt was a dud, so I guess I‘ll try this one instead!

I HATE bailing on books, but I have way too many books begging to be read to keep trying to plow through something so boring. I absolutely hate that half of this story is told in footnotes. I find it incredibly disruptive to the flow. I had high hopes for this one, but alas, it‘s not for me.

Ready for a change of pace…I think this book will do just the trick!

A decent story, but I wasn‘t blown away. I had to kind of trudge through the old-time British slang, which slowed me down a bit….

My current read…

I‘ve never read a “cozy mystery” before, but I believe this would fall into that category. I really enjoyed it! I would certainly continue this series!

On to the next!

The author is described as the Jordan Peele of horror literature…this is very accurate. This story was a bit slow for me, and I didn‘t love the writing style. I think it would make an excellent movie, though.

Didn‘t realize my next read was going to start in my home state!

This was a nice light read with some warm fuzzies. I enjoyed it, but I didn‘t love it.

This is a very different direction than my last read…with far less pages.

Well, I didn‘t think 21 days would be enough, but I guess I didn‘t even need 2 weeks🤷🏻‍♀️. Another good book in the series. I‘m thinking this is the last one…?

Now, explain to me how the library thinks I‘m going to finish over 1,000 pages in 21 days?!

I wanted to read this book before the movie came out. Overall, I enjoyed it, but Sophie‘s character may be the most frustratingly shallow person of all time. I realize this is likely very intentional.

I really enjoyed the writing, but the story moved a little slow for me. It may have been my fault, because I read two other books while reading this one, but I think the pace could have been picked up a bit. It was also a much heavier book than I anticipated, so I‘ll need to find something a bit lighter next!

This one was a quick read…not anything earth-shatteringly impressive, but entertaining! Now back to The Southern Book Club‘s Guide to Slaying Vampires…

I put The southern Book Club‘s Guide to Slaying Vampires on hold because it was too bulky to bring into the BWCA, so I started this one on the kindle. Not a bad backdrop.

Started this a few days ago! I‘ve heard good things, and so far, I am enjoying it.

I finished this like a week ago, and honestly, it was not very good at all. The storyline was a bit absurd in my opinion, and I found none of the characters likable.

The final book in this trilogy became available…looking like another quick read!

I finished this one last weekend, and I enjoyed it. I think it would make a good movie!
