Well, this was just delightful! Glad I‘ve finally read it!

#bookspinbingo - my #doublespin for this month
#read2025

I got this for free from #botm since it was the book of the year for 2024…I wanted to see what all the hype was about. At first, I wasn‘t sure if I was going to like it (it‘s character driven which isn‘t my preference) but I ended up enjoying it. I was entertained!

#bookspinbingo - got a bingo!

#unpopularopinion time. Repetitive AF. I knew going in that this was spicy, which is fine, but there was sexy times in every chapter except for 2, maybe 3. And it just seemed like the MCs did literally nothing but bang it out, so I don‘t buy that they formed an emotional connection. When they did talk, it was mostly about each other‘s private parts. And if I never hear the words cock, beaver, or monster ever again, that would be fine with me!

I loved everything about this book! I enjoyed all 3 books in the series.

I pretty much loved everything about this book! A solid second chance at love romance. And now I want to visit Amsterdam even more than I already did!

This is only my 2nd book by this author (I loved Dark Matter!) and I‘m not a sci-fi expert, but I thought this one was also top-notch!

Ugh, I really need to start Googling a book before I read it to see if it‘s character driven. 🤦🏻‍♀️
Nothing much happens here as it‘s about a dysfunctional family who travels to England for a wedding, and the focus is solely on those relationships. But I do wonder if the Prime adaptation is better than the book? Every now and then that happens!

Really cute! Probably could‘ve been a little shorter but it was a fun read!

#bookspinbingo - this is my #bookspin for this month!

Delightful! 5 years after the events of the 1st book, Patrick takes his niece and nephew, Maisie and Grant, on a trip abroad. The final destination is Italy, where their father is getting remarried, but the kids want Patrick to stop the wedding. On the trip, Patrick tries to teach the kids about love, much like he taught them about grief in the 1st book, in the hopes that they will accept this new life change.

Dr. Emilia McRoy moved to a small Scottish village for a fresh start, and Sea Isle is starting to feel like home. She has a small circle of friends, and one of them is getting married at a lavish estate. As the wedding festivities get underway, a body is found, but the victim isn‘t a guest or staff. Then the bride is targeted, and Emilia aims to find out who wants to hurt her friend.

A YA retelling of Thelma and Louise, where two teens with horrible home lives decide to split town and go somewhere where they can live on their own terms. Some things were improbable, but not really outlandishly so. If you can just go along for the ride, it‘s entertaining enough!

A cute summer read! Really captures the anticipation and angst of summer romances.

#read2025

I really enjoyed this whole series! Read with the #LittensLoveRomance group, so I can‘t say too much, but this is an awesome installment…can‘t wait for the next one!

#bookspinbingo - free space
#serieslove2025

From the cover, you‘d think this is a fluffy summer read, or at least I did! But it‘s more mystery, with secrets and betrayals, and very light on romance. It was good though! Not what I was expecting, but it kept me turning the pages!

#pop25 - a book by the oldest author in my TBR pile

My #botm box arrived yesterday! The tagged book was my pick for June, and since it‘s my birthday month, I got the Backman for free!

Finally got my #bookspinbingo card for this month done! ☀️

A bit lengthy, but Elizebeth Friedman‘s story is so interesting, I didn‘t mind! She was a pioneer in code breaking, but of course, at the time, her achievements and contributions were overshadowed by her husband (also a code breaker) or not recognized at all.

#pop25 - a book about an overlooked woman in history

So excited for my June book spins! ☀️

It‘s Pride Month! I‘d love to get all 3 of these books read this month! 🏳️‍🌈

My #bookspinbingo list for June! ☀️

A decent reading month…3 bingos!

I liked this one more than I thought I would! I thought Kya‘s story was pretty compelling.

My pick for June for #readordonate!

Excited for this one! My pick for June for #fictionaltraveler!

My pick for June for #thematiccozies!

So cute! After a failed one night stand, Alexis, a shy school librarian, enters into a fake dating agreement with Texas gubernatorial candidate Logan, when a suggestive photo of them ends up online. I really liked both characters, and rooted for them!

#bookspinbingo - got another bingo!
#pop25 - book where the MC is a politician

I know this has gotten mixed reviews but I liked it. At an exclusive island resort for A-list celebrities, a place where they can party and unwind without the eyes of the press or randos on them, bodies are found, but who among them has been killed? Pretty much all the characters are awful, and they all have secrets, which slowly unfold as it‘s learned who has met their end.

A cute and fluffy romance! I think Red was an awesome love interest, and with Chloe, I now understand more about chronic pain and how disabling it can be for those who suffer from it. The representation is important!

#bookspinbingo
#pop25 - book that features a character with chronic pain

Such an adorable HF romance! The two MCs are just so likable and I rooted for them immediately. Don‘t want to say too much as the #LittensLoveRomance buddy read isn‘t quite finished. 🤫

A cute modern #lgbtq+ YA retelling of Jane Austen‘s Emma! Very enjoyable, and it‘s a quick read.

Enjoyed this one! Got pretty twisty for about the last 1/4 of the book.

This is my first book by this author and I wasn‘t sure what to expect, but the creepiness was off the charts. It was a slow burn at the beginning but then it took a really dark turn!

I loved everything about this book!!

#bookspinbingo - got a bingo!
#pop25 - a book with 2 or more books on the cover or “book” in the title
#read2025

This was a really good book with lots of tension, but it‘s also pretty dark. Tons of trigger warnings! And there were some really good twists towards the end.

#bookspinbingo - this is my #bookspin for this month

This is the first cozy I‘ve read that didn‘t involve an active murder investigation. It was enjoyable enough, though. To be fair, the title implies that seeds of murder are planted, and this is the first book in this series. Books 2 and 3 do have murder investigations so I‘ll give the next one a try. This one did have mysteries, and in the process of figuring them out, an old murder is solved. A soft pick!

This full cast production was fabulous! And AC really knew how to craft a mystery. I‘m always surprised and impressed when I read her books!

Another good installment in the series! This one lacked the tension and action of the previous books, however, through multiple POVs, we get to know the beloved characters better. But IMO, any time spent with Rhysand is time well spent. 🤣

Really enjoyed this domestic thriller…it got pretty twisty near the end! This was my first book by this author but it won‘t be my last.

Didn‘t want to stop listening to this one! A hell of a twist at the end too!

#LitsyAtoZ #LetterY
#pop25 - a book with a title that starts with Y

I enjoyed this story of female gangsters in post-WWII England, but probably not enough to continue the series. Alice, the leader of the all-female The Forty Thieves, recruits Nell, an unwed mother-to-be, into her gang. After a betrayal that lands Nell in jail, she vows revenge on Alice.

Looking forward to my spins for this month!

Got 2 bingos in April! I kinda wish I could‘ve read a couple more books, but I can‘t really complain…still a good reading month!

#bookspinbingo

This was just okay for me. I was hoping a book about a cult would have more action!

Ali Hazelwood can do no wrong, IMO!

My #bookspinbingo list for May!

So true.

Another cute and steamy installment in the series!

#bookspinbingo
#serieslove2025

Each chapter is a vignette of a staff member or a guest aboard a luxury spaceship hotel. So many characters to keep up with and really, not much happens. This is more character driven and I prefer plot driven! I‘m not really sure what the author was trying to say or what the point was.
