I very much enjoyed all the characters & storylines of the ‘Promise Falls‘ books. I‘m sad to say this was the 4th & final instalment.

This was my first Barclay experience & for sure will not be my last!

#SeriesLove2025

Starting the Frank Quinn series tonight- long overdue🤗

#Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025 #4Elizabeth #ReadYourKobo

First finish for #ShelfSweep 🤓📚I‘m just gonna have to stray into the next Bones instalment😏😂

I‘ve decided to not make any new lists for the month of May. I‘m 13 books; 6,644 pages & 29 hours behind in my GR/SG goals so far this year. I‘d love to catch-up🤞🏻🤓

These books are my current open reads & Libby loans, followed by my Kindle & physical books (chosen from Jan-March).

🥳Finished just in the nick of time. My Libby loan was set to expire in less than 2.5 hrs🤓

I wonder what book 4 has in store for the people of Promise Falls🤨

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025

🎧📖Finished this on Thursday.

📚Some impromptu book shopping😏. Awaiting my copy of🏷️as well🤗

#Read2025

A new week full of fresh starts🤓📚

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 #ReadYourKobo

A novella (17.5) that has Tempe needing to see some naked bones🤓🔍

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025

💖A delightful end to this historical fiction trilogy. I enjoyed the story, even if a little bit less than the others.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025

😳Real life really is much worse than fiction.

#WeekendReading #WeekendReads

My weekend reading plans:

The bottom📚 are open reads. I‘d love to finish at least 2 (‘Stalker‘, ‘Bones‘ or ‘Sarah‘) tonight🤞🏻

Top are Libby loans. I‘ll likely start ‘Undone‘ after ‘Stalker‘.

I also have 10 chapters of ‘The Last of the Mohicans‘ & 7 chapters of ‘Les Miserables‘ to be completely caught up (to Monday) with both the group reads I‘m participating in.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 #BookSpin (March)

So happy to be back with Tempe, Ryan & Skinny💖

Thanks so much @Andrew65 for the read-along😏 I look forward to doing it again soon - I‘m also🤞🏻looking to catch-up before end of year🤓🫂

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

🎡Charlotte‘s 💖story. Next up, Sarah.

I could have learned more from a good Google🔎. The same canned advice as found everywhere🙄 Nothing particularly enlightening.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 #ReadYourKobo

🤗🤓New author, new trilogy! I loved the fact that this took place in Chicago during the building of The World Fair (1891-1893)💖

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #Roll10

Couldn‘t connect with the MC or the story. Everything felt one dimensional. Very disappointing🫤

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025

Promise Falls, where the twists, turns & secrets just keep on coming🤓 Already in queue for the next instalment!!

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #ReadYourKobo

2⭐️ I much preferred ‘Mere Christianity‘. #UnpopularOpinion

#Wardens2025 #Read2025

Wonderful! I will have to plan an entire day for watching Al‘s 🎥 ‘cause somehow, I‘ve not seen many of them😳

I absolutely love listening to autobiographies/memoirs that are read by the author(s). I‘m always fascinated & intrigued by their life experiences.

So, I kind of did a thing…and got some stuff this morning🤭😂 Clementine was inspecting the beads on the new bookmarks. Bookmarks are an obsession of mine💖🤫

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025 #Roll100

Another new to me series started. Although I wasn‘t really surprised by anything, I still enjoyed it. There are more secrets to be found in Promise Falls & I look forward to reading all about them🤓🤭

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

🤯💖WOW!! So happy & excited to have stumbled upon this new to me series. I loved every second of this ride & can‘t wait to see what‘s next for Cotton Malone.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #Roll100 #hashtagbrigade

Finished last week. Glad to have finally read/removed this classic from my physical shelves. So much happier also to have read it with great friends #hashtagbrigade 🥰💖

Thanks @BarkingMadRead for hosting #hashtagbrigade 💖

Also, this was one of my February #Roll100 picks📚

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #ImpulseAudiobook

An interesting listen.

#Read2025 #Wardens2025

💖🎭Beautiful tattoos & the heartfelt stories that accompany them. I was less of a fan of the ‘diary‘ aspect than I would have thought🤷🏻‍♀️ An #ImpulseRead from hubby‘s 📚shelves🙃

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #ReadYourKobo

Disappointed that this was more like a novella than a full length series intro. The pace was too quick for believability & lacked true depth. I won‘t be carrying on this series.

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025 #ReadYourKobo

So happy I stumbled into this series in 2021🤗 It‘s full of excellent characters, intriguing plots, interesting twists & of course, all the feels💖🤓

#BlameItOnLitsy

Choosing to be more intentional with my daily reading, tonight I took out my French edition of Hans Christian Andersen stories. Printed in Italy🇮🇹 in 1970, this mint condition book is one of several in a collection I inherited when my maternal grandmother passed in 2008.

📚🤓Daily Intention/Goal: 45-60 mins

#Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025 #Read2025

This was book 4 in the series &, somewhere along the way, I read this out of order - prior to my joining GR in 2013🤦🏻‍♀️ That being said, I couldn‘t properly enjoy the story. However, it did serve as a refresher & a reminder that I‘ve spent entirely too long away from the McKettrick family. 🥂to getting reacquainted with some of my favourite cowboys🤠💕

#Wardens2025 #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Gotta say, I liked this one a sight more than ‘Triptych‘. I‘m still not a big fan of Angie‘s but, I‘m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

#Roll100 #BookSpin #DoubleSpin #ReadYourKobo #ReadLesMis #hastagbrigade

My February choices. Currently reading ‘Les Miserables‘ with #ReadLesMis (not pictured) & starting ‘The Bell Jar‘ with the #hashtagbrigade on the 9th.

A good read for anyone looking to take up journaling practice. The topic is a very familiar one so, I did a lot of skimming. I only wanted the tips/tricks/suggestions etc…

I did a bunch of highlighting & also came away with a new to me author I wanna check out.

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #ReadYourKobo

My first Gerritsen read that‘s outside the world of ‘Rizzoli & Isles‘. I loved it💖 The tension & the setting were excellent. I will absolutely be looking for more📚🤓

#Read2025 #Wardens2025 #SeriesLove2025 #BookSpinBingo

One of my favourite Bosch books so far💖 I can‘t wait to see where things go from here🤔🤗

#Roll100

🤓My February picks; 📚physical books from my shelves.

#Wardens2025 #Read2025

This is a collection of stories from throughout Josh‘s life. They are not linear & although it‘s never specified or implied, I would hazard an educated guess that these at least started out as journal entries.

I found this to be profound, introspective & beautifully written. I hope🤞🏻to read more from Josh & soon!

#ReadYourKobo #ReadYourKindle

Made a few changes & shuffled things around a bit but, basically the same list as January.

#BookSpinBingo

Decided to tackle my February tbr lists a bit early so I can hyper focus on reading😝📚 A lot of the books were carried over from January‘s list but not all.

An audiobook re-read. I have a #LibbyHold on book 2 (Fractured).
