I have a feeling this will be a bittersweet read without Bill.

Enjoying a crisp Sunday morning on the deck with a book and coffee, Daisy on my lap as usual. Not many more days to enjoy this time outdoors.

Not my fave. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I‘m late to this one but here I go.

#AuthorAMonth picks set. A new-to-me author. Let‘s go!

@Soubhiville

And it‘s back to Saturday.

Although I liked The Searcher better, I do enjoy this duo/trio of characters and would love to read more with them. Tana French is always a pick for me.

@Soubhiville

Because no one goes to B&N to browse. I did only get one this time, so…

#bookbuy #BookerPrize

Looks like I‘ll be reading two Tana French this month. 🎉🤗🙌

@Soubhiville

Starting my second William Kent Kruger this year.

2nd reading of Broken Harbor. Tana French is one of my go-to authors and I liked this just as much the second time around.

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

I sat down to do some reading but there was a good show on tv so…

This has been on my TBR for a while. Starting now on audio.

There was way too much going on in this. It‘s like the twists couldn‘t keep track of themselves. Maybe ⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I loved this so much that I just finished it and I want to read it again.

23 weeks. Reviews say it‘ll be worth the wait. Here we go…

New day new book. Just a few minutes in and already pulled in. Great narration

“We were waiting for things to converge.”

I haven‘t read John Green in a while. This one isn‘t my favorite but does illustrate well through the MC what it‘s like having extreme anxiety and OCD.

Carmie said “pick me.”

By far my favorite book of the year.

Although this has Klune‘s trademark quirk and poignancy it didn‘t hit quite the same for me as The House in the Cerulean Sea.

In Indianapolis this weekend for a Fever game but wouldn‘t have left without a visit to the Kurt Vonnegut Museum & Library. So interesting to learn more about his life growing up and read personal correspondence.

#Indy #KVML

Another long hold just came in!

#audiobooks #Libby

Daisy saying hello.

#dogsoflitsy #sundays

My #Libby hold came in and I‘m finally starting my September #AuthorAMonth pick.

@Soubhiville

A little reading, a little coffee, a little waiting for the first college football game of the season to start.

#oniowa#gohawks #gameday #dogsoflitsy #catsoflitsy

Third hold this week came in but I can never bring myself to extend them after waiting so long.

#audiobooks #libby

I really like this book but it‘s so much longer than it needs to be. Still a pick.

#AuthorAMonth
@Soubhiville

I don‘t know anything about this book but the cover is so pretty and I‘ve waited 12 weeks so…

After 13 weeks…still really excited to read this!

Saturday.

I loved Yellowface so not sure why I‘m surprised that I‘m enjoying this so much but, I‘m really enjoying this dark academia novel. The footnote reading in the audio version though, not so much.

@Soubhiville

Up next.

Quiet day outside reading with (one of) my favorite girl.

#dogsoflitsy #sundays

It‘s just that kind of day.

#dogsoflitsy #lazydays

Well that didn‘t take long.

#dogsoflitsy #saturday #buddyread

🎧Read by the author. Great production.

I liked this one so much more than I thought I would. There is a lot going on in both narratives and much is unresolved but it was an interesting and emotional historical telling in dual-narrative format that held my interest to the end.

I really enjoyed Before We Were Yours and hoping this one strikes a similar chord.

I love SA Cosby‘a raw and gritty Southern crime fiction. This earlier novel isn‘t quite as tight as his three later ones but still has all the same style.

@Soubhiville

Got a new S.A. Cosby for June‘s #AuthorAMonth
Loved the first three I‘d read so much I thought it would be worth the purchase!

@Soubhiville

I‘ve read this so many times over the years I thought I‘d give the audio a try.

Ummm, meh? I didn‘t get it. And I really wanted to love it. There was just so much going on it was hard for me to see the point. Anyone else?

Dialogue and story are okay but I‘m more invested than I thought I‘d be in finding out how these seemingly unconnected storylines come together.

Nothing says Saturday night like a salad and a book. Heyyyyyy 🤗

#AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville

Just started the audio. Not enjoying it as much as The Dreamers but hoping it gets more interesting soon.

Although the narrator is excellent, the narrative felt a bit disjointed. I think I might have followed the timeline better if read. Very well researched.
