#BlackDaggerBrotherhood #BDB

One of my favorites in this series so far. I love the character of John Matthew and was happy to finally get to his book. I liked getting more back story on Darius and Thorment. 5⭐️

I picked up a couple. Not every book interested me. However, there is a good variety and numerous with good reviews on GoodReads.

Listening to this audiobook on my way to the office. Normally I commute with the hubby and I am not able to listen. He had to drive himself today so I'm enjoying the ride. 💙📖🎧

#Chatterday2025 @AllDebooks

After a coffee, yogurt and doggy cuddles, I started in on some cleaning. Cleaned the floors on the main level, ran the vacuum upstairs. Taking a short break then off to clean the master bath. So exciting. NOT! At least I have an audiobook to keep me company. Later, I am off to get horsey cuddles, then a late lunch with my barn buddies.

"He wished he had more time."

#5JoysFriday @DebinHawaii

1. The flowers at the office are blooming away.
2. My neighbor's roses, that I can see from my back, are going crazy this year.
3. First year growing things in a container garden
4. The puppy found the door stop. He had me in stitches. He figured out that he could touch it with his paw and it made noise. Then he would jump back and bark at it.
5. Audiobooks on slow days at work.

@wanderinglynn @AnnCrystal

I made this template on the computer and printed it out. I'm going to try it out for May and see if I like it better than the handwritten one I normally use. I still love the tactical nature of writing.
#BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

So this one is a low pick for me. While I liked the characters, it needed a stronger plot. This book is all about the smut. Which is OK, but I need a good plot to go along with it. I may or may not read the next book in the series. It will depend on my mood. 3.5🌟 ##SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader #LitsyLoveReads @Read4life @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks #ShelfSweeper @Tove_Reads

My May #BookSpin selection will be a book in a series for the #SeriesLove2025 challenge. My #DoubleSpin selection will be an Impulse read. I'll make my Book Spin board next.

In April I read both my #BookSpin and #DoubleSpin selections. I was able to get six bingos. So close to a blackout. Maybe in May. 🤞❤️📖❤️📕❤️📚❤️

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT

I scored better than last week, though not by much. There were so many great books in this group that spanned totally different genres. My favorites are (not in any order):

The Clan of the Cave Bear
Good Omens
Black Beauty
Emma
Matilda
The Hobbit
LOTR
Dune
The Pillars of the Earth

@Texreader @Librarybelle @Kshakal @BethM @Cupcake12

Hard to believe we are 1/4 of the way through 2025! 🤯

Unless something really hits me over the head, Binding 13 will be my top pick for the first half of the year. I still think about that story. Still two months to go, so it could happen. We'll see what May has to bring.

#ReadingBracket2025

I am tracking my reading on a spreadsheet. Here is where I stand for the year and my April recap. My goal is 150 books this year. On track so far.

May kind of snuck up on me. I have two books I want to finish today from April. The plan for May is to work on challenges, buddy reads, book series I have started but not finished and reading books that I own.
