Laura is a lifestyle reporter who focuses her work on love stories and how people met. She travels to the island of Jersey to visit all of the locations featured in her parents' love story. However, shortly after arriving she realizes she got the wrong suitcase at the airport... but hopes it might lead her to her soulmate, because this suitcase is full of the things she loves, including To Kill a Mockingbird and Phil Collins music. ⬇️
January's #ReadOrDonate and #OffTheShelf
Read and Liked:
📚 The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy
📚 Fresh Brewed Murder
Still Reading:
📚 Sisters of Heart and Snow
January was a very slow reading month for some reason. Maybe if I put these back on my bookshelf I'd like them more another time, but I just couldn't stick with these books:
📚 Hocus Pocus
📚 Far from the Madding Crowd
📚 Dorothy Must Die
📚 Flying Too High

I really like Lauren Graham, so this was a wonderful audiobook. She talks about life, family, friendships, love, her acting career, the show Parenthood, and of course Gilmore Girls. I'm looking forward to listening to more of her books!

Hart, a demigod, is a marshal in Tanria who delivers bodies to Mercy the undertaker at Birsdall & Son. The only thing Hart likes about going there is Mercy's dog Leonard. Hart is gruff and jaded, since his job also includes killing drudges (zombies) that take over the bodies of the dead. There's absolutely nothing Mercy likes about Hart whenever he shows up at Birdsall & Son.
I really liked Ellery Adams' Secret, Book & Scone Society series, so when I saw this, I knew it had to be my pick for this month's #ThematicCozies!

My #BookSpin list for January. This year, I think I'll just take a random stack of 20 books from my bookshelf for each month's list. My unread books aren't on the bookshelf in any order at all, so this should help me get to the books I don't even remember that I have, lol. 😁

Thank you so much Catie! The coffee you sent is delicious. This book is next on my stack to read!

Thank you so much Catie!! I'm going to open this on Christmas while drinking a cup of this coffee! 🎄☕️

A private jet with eleven passengers takes off from Martha's Vineyard on its way to New York. Sixteen minutes later, it crashes into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott, the artist who was invited along at the last minute because he was meeting with art galleries in NY, and JJ, the 4 year old son of one of the wealthy couples on the plane. ⬇️

🎧 Kitchens of the Great Midwest- I really wanted to like this one because I absolutely enjoyed the two others of Stradal's that I listened to, but even after listening to 62% of this one I just wasn't invested in the story

I really enjoyed reading this!
I bought this copy at an antique store. It was given to its recipient in 1966 according to the inscription inside, and it had this extra treasure in it: a copy of the Junior Deluxe Editions Preview of My Friend Flicka. I love when I find treasures in used books!

She re-evaluates everything she thinks about friendship, family, and who she really is.

I really enjoyed this book! I have a hard time finding audiobooks I like, but this is the 2nd one by J. Ryan Stradal that I've listened to and really liked.
Edith and Helen are sisters who have a falling out, and this is the story of how even though their lives diverged, they both ended up in the business of brewing beer.

This was my least favorite in the series so far. Lady Georgiana goes to America with her mom, visiting New York, Nevada, and California. Chaos ensues, of course. I found the mystery on the ship more interesting than the mystery once they got to America, and wish the entire story had focused on the ship.
