Enjoyable book, but not great in my opinion.

So many characters to keep up with, but I can see why this is considered a classic!

FINALLY just over halfway through this book!

I had never heard of Jennette before the memoir came out, but she has had a hard life. Great memoir!

The snakes are supposed to be on top of Shadow's head, but he ended that really quick. Lol Happy Halloween!!

I liked this thriller! My husband described me as "enthusiastic" when I was talking with him about it. Parts were unbelievable, but overall a pick.

Shadow is supposed to be standing guard for me while I read this book, but found him sleeping on the job!

What the what?! This was an amazing read, for the most part! Well thought out, but needed at least one more round of editing. The "shower of strings" on the harp took me out of the story briefly. I flew through this in less than 24 hours, staying up way too late to finish it, as it's 3:30 AM...perfect thriller for spooky season if you like psychological novels!

Low pick, but because the first half was bogged down with other cases and back story. In the end, it was really interesting to see how the police were able to get their conviction.

This book was okay, but kind of forgettable. I tolerated the main character, but loved Chang!

Lady Killers reminded me of the My Favorite Murder podcast! Each chapter covers a different woman serial killer. Happy to get this one off my Kindle TBR, it's been there for literal years.

Reading about women serial killers with Shadow keeping guard!

I don't like the writing style and I feel like there is no plot at all. I'm just over halfway through and feel like it's not going anywhere.

I follow Libby on IG and they had a fun autumn themed this or that!

My daughter's dog, Shadow, moved in with us this weekend! We are reestablishing boundaries between him & my resident cat Seasons, but so far so good. You may be seeing Shadow from time to time on my posts! #DogsOfLitsy

I only really enjoyed 2 of the short stories. I'm happy to finally get this off my Kindle though! I got it for free through Amazon Crossings several years ago.

An okay novel, and I liked the characters.

As a person with bipolar II, I found this memoir to be highly relatable. I want my husband to read it so he understands me a bit better. There needs to be a trigger warning though for suicide attempt.

Quick, easy read with a couple minor errors (nothing too bad). Cute novel, especially if you like cats!

I absolutely adored every word Nezhukumatathil wrote and want to read more of her work!

Reading a book about cats means I get to share a picture of my furry child, Seasons! #catsoflitsy

There were so many characters and points of view in this book, but they all tied together nicely.

Great book, but super long chapters.

I didn't like how much Avery had an internal monolog and how wishy washy she was on telling Jude and Elle her past. But it had a twist towards the end that I didn't see coming and a HEA!

I can't imagine making this young man's journey, especially at the age of 9!

I grew up knowing very little about Mother Teresa and went into this book with a very open mind about her. After having read it, I am inspired by her faith and unfaltering loyalty to see Jesus in every person she met.

Now that they've announced publicly, I can share that I'M GONNA BE A GRANDMA! I'm so excited for them and can't wait to meet my grandchild!

Dystopian novel set in what was California in the near future after the collapse of society as we know it. Frida & Cal have left L.A. and try to make a life on their own.

I liked the premise, but I wasn't too fond of the ending. I wanted more.

Making good progress on this Lepucki book today, and then this evening we are celebrating my daughter's nursing school graduation!

Celebrating 11 years of marriage with my favorite person today! He makes life & love easy!

Such beautifully written sentences! I loved the two main characters and their dual POV. My one complaint is that there are only 9 chapters in the book, which made for some super long reading sessions for me.

Needed an easy to read romance and Olivia Dade delivered! This is my first book by Dade, and I will definitely continue the series. I loved the fat representation!

It wasn't until the end that I realized this was an unauthorized biography. There were so many parenthetical statements throughout the book that I found them to be annoying, but I learned a lot about Stevie Nicks and her songs! I wish she would write a memoir.

My first collection of poems from Atticus, despite following him for more than a year on Instagram. Such beautiful prose and imagery!

"Don't waste a second of your time convincing other people you're worth loving."

Solid pick for Crichton fans!

It's truly amazing what Eddie survived.

If you want a short, easy romance, this is your book. I was hoping for something a little more dramatic I think. The passage of time is hard to follow in the beginning, with weeks passing in the space between paragraphs, but it was a sweet little romance that ended all tied up with a bow.

Loved this book of poetry!

"to describe myself as fat is not to describe myself as ugly, lazy, worthless, or undesirable." ??

This was a reread for me, but I had forgotten almost all the poems.

A beautiful story of a female Jewish scribe in the 1600s who grapples with philosophical questions and stops at nothing to find answers. This is a dual timeline book, so it also follows Helen Watt and Aaron Levy, historians, as they uncover letters and documents written by the scribe.

Aubrey Gordon lays out her arguments using scientific research and anecdotal evidence to combat myths about fat people.

I bought the book because I wanted to learn about bees and this is jam packed with information! I fell in love with them and learned so much! 🐝

Another amazing collection of poems from MHN! I loved the sections on lessons from elephants 🐘 and lessons from honeybees 🐝!

An amazing memoir, highly recommended to listen to the audio!

Heavy subject matter; TW for sexual assault/abuse, suicide, and child abuse

Despite the heaviness of the book (both figuratively and literally), I really enjoyed it and looked forward to the way Lamb tied in each of the characters to each other. I looked forward to picking up the book again to continue reading it.

So much chanting of the Eagles fight song, and yelling. It got repetitive, especially the chapter of Pat's movie montage. It was mostly a good story and now I'm going to rewatch the movie to see how it compares to the book.

Predictable, but an easy, sweet read.

Covid finally got us. Husband still has to work, just from home. I am looking forward to some down time and reading.
