#WeeklyForecast

January‘s #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin books have been read and both were picks!!

#Sharreadathon was a great time to honor @sharread and remember the wonderful person she was.

Really loved The Endless Beach. The Scottish Island of Mure, Flora‘s family and the community are all so lovely and well developed. I‘ve had this one for a long time and I‘m very happy I‘ve finally read it.

#WeeklyFavorites

Colgan is a favorite author of mine.

#WeeklyUpdate

One of Brian‘s aunts needed computer help. She was sorry we spent our Sunday inside but I got to cuddle and love on Lily. Coffee + doggie love means I have been a very happy camper. ☕️🐶💙

#FictionalTraveler “A place you love”

I love Colorado and the communities March has created in her series are wonderful, positive places with fantastic characters.

February‘s #BookSpinBingo list.

When I‘m not feeling well, I love reaching for favorite authors. Colgan writes wonderful characters and heartwarming stories. The relationship between Issy and Grandpa Joe is sweet, loving and beautiful.

#WeekendReading

Still not feeling well 😮‍💨🤧🤕 so it will probably be staying home reading and watching football this weekend. 📚🏈

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

This is a soft pick for me. I liked it much more than book 1 but not as much as book 2. An expensive necklace goes missing during a closed magazine photoshoot and there‘s no shortage of suspects.

#BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2025

From tragedy (Summer‘s suicide) to a HEA for the three remaining friends, this one takes you through difficult times and situations & shows the power of enduring friendships and being true to yourself.

#BookSpinBingo #LitsyAtoZ author #LetterG

My first #WickedWords wrap up of 2025!!!

Thanks, @AsYouWish 💙📚💙

#Two4Tuesday @TheSpineView
Thanks for the tag, Lisa!!

1. I‘m retired (disabled due to post concussive syndrome, vertigo and several other issues due to an accident). So I hate the chronic migraines (15+ each month) and the frequent falls.

2. The tagged. Bonnie‘s boss certainly doesn‘t make it easy to enjoy her job as a checkout assistant.

We‘re celebrating and remembering the wonderful @sharread with the #Sharreadathon. All welcome to join us. Now thru 1/26.

She liked the tagged book (as did I) so I chose to read another Morgan Christmas book for the readathon.

Being sick the past two days has allowed me plenty of reading time. I‘ve finished three of my picked books and hope to finish the rest.

#LitsyLove

Sharing isn‘t always caring. Hubby shared his cold with me complete with sore throat, fever, cough and congestion. I may try to get out and walk on the beach later when it‘s pretty much deserted and soak up some vitamin D. Until then, I‘ll be reading for #Sharreadathon and sleeping.

#LitsyLove @sharread @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

I love Sarah Morgan and this book didn‘t disappoint. A wonderful cast of characters and setting. A Scottish family coming together for Christmas, each with their own worries & plans. The grandmother is hilarious. My favorite read so far this month.

Thanks for the tag, Deb & @TheSpineView

1. Full moon over Magens Bay
2. Boat trip to St. John
3. Brian and I enjoyed the sunset over the pool
4. Delicious tiramisu
5. I love the beach but when multiple cruise ships equal 25,000+ more people on island, the pool is a much quieter option.

#FirstLineFridays @ShyBookOwl

#TLT @dabbe

I‘ve read 26 of them. 25%

Three favorites:
1. The Giver
2. Number the Stars
3. The Bridge to Terabithia

Evie has realized how strong and badass she is. I loved the deeper dive into the characters and the themes of family, friendship and magic. This was my #BookSpin book.

#BookSpinBingo #LitsyAtoZ author #LetterM #Roll100 #SeriesLove2025

Book 2 in the Busybodies Collection. Fun and well executed. I listened to this one and enjoyed the narration. The ending surprised me. Well done. I‘ll need to check out more books by this author.

#Readyourebooks update

I‘ve finished 3/4 of the “spin” titles for this month. The 4th is our #SUNDAYBUDDYREAD book and I‘m following the reading schedule. 💙📚💙

Just ok.
Free in KU. First book in The Busybodies Collection.

This has been on my shelves for quite some time. I read it for #readyourebooks #Roll100 & #ThematicCozies

#WeeklyUpdate

Last week I finished books for:
#BookSpinBingo (7) including my #DoubleSpin book
#AuthorAMonth (1)
#Readyourebooks (2)
#readyourTBR (4)
#SeriesLove2025 (7)
#AuldLangSpine #ALSpine (1)
#ThematicCozies (1)
#NoPlaceLikeHolmes (1)
#Roll100 (1)

Very much a soft pick for me. Overall I enjoyed it but it dragged at times and Wimsey sure does prattle on. I‘m not opposed to reading more in the series but it‘s definitely not a reading priority.

#AuthorAMonth #BookSpinBingo #readyourebooks #readyourTBR #SeriesLove2025

This was a fun middle grade book featuring three friends. When one may need to move, they decide to try and solve a puzzle in hopes of finding treasure so they can stay together. Book #2 has an October release date.
#BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2025

Thank you to my #AuldLangSpine #ALSpine partner, @Erinreadsthebooks for recommending this one. It‘s been on my TBR for a while and this motivated me to move it to the top of the list.

Word 3/5 #rage

Told from Chet‘s (🐶) POV.
Chet and his private investigator human, Bernie, look for a missing teen girl. I love the relationship between Bernie & Chet and I found Chet‘s inner monologue very entertaining.
This one checked off several boxes for me.
