pickI just love Stassi and enjoyed seeing her evolve and grow from "the devil" to an incredible woman and mother.
There was a little too much repeated material from her other books, she kept real about motherhood.

pickAn interesting read of resilience and forgiveness and strength.

Starting this while waiting on delivery at my daughter's new place while she finishes up paperwork and gets the keys 😁
Reached my 2024 of 62 books!!
This was in large part due to #BookSpin and #ReadAway2042 Thank you @TheAromaofBooks @Andrew65 @DieAReader and @GHABI4ROSES for hosting these challenges 💜💞
Looking forward to seeing how much more I read 😊
so-soLoved the characters. But the whole dad always gone in search of treasure, riddle clues, treasure hunt story was so very a Quantum Leap episode/The Pacifier with lovers instead of sisters/a family. Also, I might be losing my taste for romance stories? 🤷🏻♀️

And now onto a #BookSpinBingo read that is lighter and fun
pickI skimmed a good portion of this because the information was repetitive. The information itself, however, is crucial and fascinating; from the Dark Web to China's chemical industry to solutions for the problems there's a lot here. The biggest problem is no one is actually taking what they think they are.

Thankfully my #DoubleSpin is proving to be much better; 16 pages and I'm still wide awake 😂
bailedAnd, yeah, that's a big ol' #HailTheBail
I thought maybe 20 years after my first attempt to read this that I could actually do it. Nah-uh. Could bearly keep my eyes open for 15 pages 🥱
Thankfully, it's finally off my TBR shelf!

pickI get Erma Bombeck's humor more now 😁 This was a great nostalgic read bringing me back to my 20s and earlier; fun!
In the mood for something light and easy
Thanks for the tag @dabbe 💞

1. Finished an amazing book this AM
2. My daughter got approved for an apartment within walking distance
3. It's cool enough for no a/c (today, anyway)
4. The Mr. Is adjusting well to his hearing aids and talking to him is so much more enjoyable without all the repetition
5. Snagged a decent hiking day pack at Goodwill for $14😁
pickWhoa. Talk #AboutABook that's #ShortButPowerful ?
How the hell I've had this book 38ish years and thought I read it is just beyond.
Minus the peep show era of Times Square this book could have written today. The ultra fine line between "good" guys & "bad" guys is timeless.
I've got a book hangover to nurse

@dabbe Thank you, ma'am for the tag 💜💜
This time around my score is 42/100 - So many of the older movies are just titles from conversations
Three favorite songs this time are:
🎵Old time rock n' roll
🎵Rainbow Connection
🎵Lose Yourself

Since I posted about Cormier for #AboutABook and this one happens to be on my #BookSpinBingo board I figured why not.
I may have already read this back in the early 90s; or maybe not. Back then I shelved all books together and I ended up overlooking a few TBRs when I quickly learned to separate them.
pickSometimes a quick, predictable, comfort read is the perfect thing.

Starting this one this morning #coffeeandabook
pickAs a second book in a trilogy, this one was good. It advanced the story with interesting build-ups and cliff hangers. And I'm sorry but, Threepio floundering as a nanny to twin toddlers is just comic gold 😂
