Finished two 5⭐️ read!! The tagged book is a terrific psychological thriller, intense! What a debut! The Sweet Spot is my kind of lovely book with charming, quirky characters and a great setting. #WeekendReads

I don‘t consider myself a short story kind of gal but I‘m really enjoying the tagged book. Should finish it today so I read both my #bookspin and #doublespin.

Aims42 I loved “Other Birds” so much ☺️🕊️ It was my first book from the author and now I‘ve tried to read as many of her previous books as I can, still have a ways to go lol 2mo
LeslieO @Aims42 I loved it, too! Now I own more of her books but haven‘t read any others yet. What should I read next of hers? 2mo
Aims42 @LeslieO I‘ve only read a handful so far, but I really liked “Lost Lake” if you want a standalone read. Her Waverly Family series is excellent too, the first book is “Garden Spells” and “First Frost” is the second book. Can‘t go wrong with those in my opinion 😊👍 2mo
LeslieO @Aims42 Great! Those are the three I own!🙂 2mo
Aims42 @LeslieO Yay!! Happy Reading ☺️♥️ 2mo

#nonfiction2023. My usual goal is one nonfiction per month. Crushed it! I have a couple “slow but steady” reads that have turned into just slow. So my goal this year is to finish a couple nonfiction chunksters. And that‘s it. #nonfiction24

Low number completed this month. But all the fiction titles were very good. The Lighthouse Witches was my fav. The nonfiction, Down the Hill, was a little disappointing. I didn‘t care for the writing. #OctoberWrapUp
