Currently reading this #kindlepick for my November #bookspin 👍🏼
Thanks to #roll100 & my November #doublespin I am delighted to move this 2018 #both off my #tbr shelf. This was enjoyable, and I liked seeing Hazel unravel the mystery. 3.5 ⭐️
bailedMade it to page 137…just not into it…time to get the book back to its owner.
pickGood pick for spooky season. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a quick and gripping read - perfect for Halloween season! Fun Fact: this author is from my town in Central Jersey, so some of the local nods (RU-Rah-Rah) and allusions to the Middlesex Greenway were fun lil‘ Easter Eggs of sorts.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Metal and gore 🤘🏼🎸
Filing in the #mysoncanreadthiswhenhesolder category, definitely up his alley
pick3.5 ⭐️ ~ fun and quick ~ R.L. Stine has the formula down. I will let the kid read this one. The innuendo should just soar over his head. Hopefully this will reinforce the “don‘t hitchhike, don‘t pick up hitchhikers” mantra I‘ll say on repeat in the years to come! 🤞🏼🤣
Next up on the #canmykidreadthisyet list…this guy…my son‘s just finished Stine‘s The Cheater and enjoyed it. He‘s not yet 10, so I guess this is good parenting. He‘s dying to read Stephen King, but this will have to do…for a little while longer. We‘ve got some “good for kids” King coming his way for his 10th.
For years, Dr. Murchison had taught her to breathe in the flower, and blow out the candle. Now she breathed in Slayer and blew out Black Sabbath.
so-soMy October #Roll100 & #DoubleSpin ~ there is a lot in these vignettes about murder and violence in Essex County (Massachusetts) densely packed, but “just okay” for me. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My September #doublespin and Book Club pick for October. Felt good to read a book that I wanted to keep coming back to. I think our group‘s discussion will be a good one.
pickFun throwback c/o my parents‘ basement… #treasure looking forward to diving into others in the box. 📦
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy to have finally returned to Simone St. James. This book blends together some of my favorites: true crime and ghosts…
My September #bookspin list looks very similar to that of prior months…but that‘s okay! Plenty of opportunities to tackle #mountTBR while still having room for “mood reading”. How is it September?! And, in a very un-New Jersey twist, my kids head back to school this week…in August! What is happening?! 🤣
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was pulled in quickly and enjoyed seeing the timelines play out.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Parenting someone recently diagnosed, this book is a helpful tool for perspective. Both Penn and Kim are candid about their experiences and the impact of ADHD on their lives & relationship. (August #doublespin)
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Enjoyed reading this during a weekend getaway.
bailedMy #Roll100 for August and I‘m not feeling it…so why continue?! Move it out into the world for someone else! #thankyouNext
so-so“So-So” because there is probably so, so much I don‘t quite understand…amusing though and with the author‘s self-awareness at the end I know that a trip to Wikipedia may be in order.
My #bookspin for August (A Melville House read). 🙌🏼
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoy how Davis embraces the two timelines together.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️
Not my favorite Ruth Ware read, but it kept moving and kept me guessing till the end.
pickAnother amusing installment ~ enjoying the friendship our leading ladies have. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jamie! 😍 This was a delight to receive earlier this week. Thank you for the little Michigan surprise pack. 💜 You can bet I‘ll be savoring these in the coming days. Thank you so much! 💜
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Josh & Chuck are the PB&J of podcasting, and this books was a delight. Their voices came through in their writing. Looking forward to diving back into their podcast episodes.
This is why Josh & Chuck are “my people” - working a They Might Be Giants nod into a footnote in a chapter about do(ugh)nuts. 😉 #Istanbul(NotConstantinople)
Evidently I‘m re-reading this…and am the most recent poster (2020). 🤣 And again for BookSpin. (I don‘t consider this cheating)
pickEven with the murder and mayhem, this series continues to delight. Fun and breezy reading.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~ delighted to sneak this in as a final read in June
pickFun, quick read…I‘d love to read Phoebe‘s dissertation. 🤣
⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soMy June #Roll100 - a quick read - while I first found the not-so-subtle character name nods to classic horror/80s hits amusing, I started to do more eye rolls as it continued. (The teacher, John Hughes; principal Vernon; John Carpenter HS…possible Party of 5 actor nods…?) 2.5⭐️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Emily Henry is perfect for summer. There were small things that bugged me a bit, but I enjoyed seeing where Polly & Alex ended up.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ~ Wrapping up the final, final round of #LMPBC with this pick for #GroupG. Such rich writing and visual imagery played against such pain for our MC. I just wanted her to feel happy and be loved. (I did not enjoy the ending)
Thank you, @KateReadsYA @JamieArc & @suvata for such a lovely #LMPBC finale…it‘s been a pleasure. 💜The book will head home soon within the next week.
pickLove this series…I hope to be part of a crew like this in my later years. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Twists and turns kept me guessing and kept me fooled.
pickthis is one of my May #bookspin reads, and I enjoyed jumping on another madcap adventure with Finlay and Vero.
