Up next…recently read this author‘s new book and it was so much fun! #bookspinbingo

CoverToCoverGirl You‘re in for one crazy ride! It‘s dark, dark! 3w
GinaKButler @CoverToCoverGirl Sooooo, eyeballs skeeve me out… 🤢 I‘m going to have to skim those parts! 3w
CoverToCoverGirl @GinaKButler it‘s definitely a bit “juicy”. Those bits nearly did me in. This lady is a local author to me. She lives in Nova Scotia, so I had to read the entire series. Support local and all that… 3w

Starting this on audio today…it is set in my city in Central Florida. I‘m unfamiliar with the case (and the podcast), as I moved here in ‘03, so I was intrigued when it came on my radar.

#bookspinbingo

CSeydel Oh I listened to this podcast! I was engrossed and absolutely outraged at the time. Later, though, I read some things that suggested King presented a somewhat skewed version of events, which is disappointing. 3w
GinaKButler @CSeydel Ohhhh…I‘d be interested to read what you did. I haven‘t listened to the podcast. 2w
GinaKButler @CSeydel My kids went to school with the appeals judge‘s (Abdoney) kids. I wonder what he thinks about all of this? (edited) 2w
CSeydel Oh wow! Yes, I wonder. I‘ll see if I can find where people were disputing some of the spin from the podcast and share it 2w

Let‘s try this again…I started this one in May and had to put it down. With end of school and graduation for my oldest, I didn‘t have the headspace for it. But, I love this author, so here we go again! It‘s my May #doublespin pick.

It‘s also on my #10beforetheend list.

TheAromaofBooks Enjoy!! 1mo
GinaKButler @ChaoticMissAdventures …sooooo what happens for #10beforetheend if I DNF this (again)? I‘m 215 pages in and I‘m SO bored! At this point, I feel like I‘ve given it a valiant effort! (edited) 1mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @GinaKButler that's fine!! The point is to get things off the TBR so donate it, sell it, toss it!! I am a huge advocate for DNFs. #10beforetheend is all about getting to 10 books, you don't have to finished anything. 1mo
