Finally finished this book. It had potential but failed in execution. I was so hoping for something of the quality of Birthday Girl or Older but it failed to deliver. Cheesy and predictable. 3⭐️ #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65

I have four books on my TBR list for the holiday weekend. I will finish Play Along today. I started Nocticadia and haven't been able to get into it. Therefore, after I try again, I might put it aside for another time. Then, I will hopefully get the other two books read over the weekend.

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT

Dismal is the word I would use to describe my results. The only reason my score was a ten instead of a 2 or 3 is I was forced to read some of these books on the list in school.

My favorites are: A Passage to India and The Great Gatsby.

If you scored more than 15 color me impressed.

lil1inblue I got 7. My inner student is so ashamed. 😭😂 😉 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures I scored 21 and I still don't understand how or why we all did better on the older books 😂 The real question is were there any on the list you want to read? There were not many I would pick up today and read. 3d
TheSpineView @ChaoticMissAdventures I doubt I will ever read any of this list. 3d
dabbe @lil1inblue @ChaoticMissAdventures @TheSpineView 🎯🩵🎯 After this week, I can't imagine what the rest of the list holds. 🤣 3d

##BlackDaggerBrotherhood #BDB #BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub

A quick reminder, in June, we will be reading, or as the case may be rereading, Lover Unleashed book 9 in the series. This book is about Payne, Vishous's sister, and Manuel Manello (Manny) the human doctor. I'm sure we will get some of the other characters' stories too. Looking forward to getting back to this world.

julesG Audiobook is ready to be re-read. 😉 4d
TheSpineView @julesG I'm ready too. Have you watched the trailer yet for the movie? 4d
julesG Yes. I'm underwhelmed. But that's definitely a me-thing. I expected more muscles and taller guys. Which is ridiculous, because we know how tall they are.🤦🏻‍♀️ 3d
See All 6 Comments
TheSpineView @julesG I read that the Casting call requirement was actors at least 6'. I guess there are not many that are 6' 7" and above. 3d
julesG Actors tend to be on the shorter side. ??‍♀️ My son's 6'6" should have sent him. ?? He'd make a great vampire with a mean accent. 3d
TheSpineView @julesG Totally! Wouldn't it be fun to see him in a costume as one of the brothers. He got the tall gene. 3d

#WonderousWednesday @Eggs

🌸 Not sure. I've just always been positive and outgoing and I love making others happy. I guess you can say in the end I am selfish because I am getting something from being my best self.
🌸 tagged because Count Alexander Rostov was loyal and a good friend to those in his life. He was a good person and lord knows not many of those exist anymore.

#MentalHealthMonday @Kerrbearlib

1. Feeling decent today. A little bit of pain in my knee is all. I had my first injection in my back Thursday, so I am trying to cut back on my meds. Fingers crossed that the injections work.
2. I have a doctor's appointment Thursday as a follow-up to the injection. I hope I am finally cleared to ride again. That will be the best for my mental health.

#Chatterday2025 @AllDebooks

It is storming this morning. Thunderstorms scare my dogs so I have been comforting them with cuddles. I have tried thunder shirts to no avail. They are finally dying down and I can get on with things. My plans are to get a bit of housework done this morning. Lunch with my bestie, which will certainly involve alcohol. Afterward, I hope to have some time to myself later in the afternoon.
Play? @dabbe @DebinHawaii

Eggs TY for the tag 🌺 1w
ElizaMarie Love your lunch plans!!! I'm still sitting in bed with a coffee and a Frenchie sleeping in my lap (our new puppy is great when he is sleeping). Storming out here too. I haven't decided what I'm doing today. Husband has to attend graduation (for work). 1w

Elizabeth2 Enjoy your lunch! Sounds like a perfect date! 😁🥂 One of my dogs is terrified of storms, and she suffers seizures when stressed so we try to do all we can to keep her calm. Sitting and cuddling with the TV on and turned up kinda loud to something more soothing - no explosions, or playing calming music but kind of loud to drown out the thunder and wind. I try to just relax. Dogs read our own moods, so if I am calm, it helps keep her calm. 💕 1w
Elizabeth2 During 4th of July fireworks, I play patriotic music loud to drown out the booms, and I sit and read a book. There are enough of those types of sounds in the patriotic music that she can‘t tell the difference. And she sees me reading, which is a normal activity around here. 😂 She goes right to sleep. 1w
