Found a cute bookstore in St Augustine FL. It just opened on King St - MidnightMoon
I‘m off for 10 days! Whoooooo Hooooo. Camping with my hubby and dad for the next week with lots of reading 📚📖🫶
There is a good reason why @alicewriterland always hits my top 10 list in December. I was able to get an advanced copy of MY HUSBAND‘S WIFE and it‘s going to be the “It” book next year. I thought I knew where it was going, but it didn‘t. Very few books surprise me anymore and this one was masterful. Go get this on pre-sale now. It doesn‘t come out until January 2026 but I already know it‘s gonna be 🔥
Today‘s reading. This one has been on my bookshelf forever!
Beach reading 🥰
Okay, this book is weird. You will either love it or hate it. As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, the uniqueness of the storyline makes me want to give it a lot of love. The plot sounds normal: ten strangers locked in a house where someone is killing them one by one….okay, so? Well, it‘s not what you think and it doesn‘t go where you think it goes. This one will probably make my top 10 for 2025.
Creepy cult? ✅ Fancy location? ✅ Starting this ARC today
I thought A Little Life was heart wrenching. This book is so awful in the best possible way. My heart raced, I cried, and I had to put the book down many times. The worst child abuse imaginable and even then sometimes the author would refuse to write it. The fact that it is a fictionalized version of a real story? I can‘t even comprehend these monsters.
Nothing better than reading with the sound of waves💙
Advanced copy - Amy McCulloch is becoming a favorite of mine for athletic thrillers (running, climbing, etc)
*Ignore hubby‘s leg* Twins, Bel and Rose, are taken in by their rich grandmother after losing their mom. Grandmother ships them off to boarding school where they try to fit in. Bel starts running with a wild crowd and gets involved in a school prank that causes a lot of other things to happen. I enjoyed this one but lots of trigger warnings (you can find them in other reviews, I consider them spoilers).
I don‘t usually love sci-fi but I like Blake Crouch
You don‘t notice when she walks in your office to bring you lunch, you don‘t filter your phone calls when she is tidying up your office; she knows your passwords and your phone lock screens. She has access to your bank account and manages your kids schedule. But the Secretary knows all of your SECRETS and she has the ability to destroy the company you‘ve built.
Picking up my hold at the library and the book smells like cigarettes 🤮@bookmarktavern #SundayFunday
It‘s a swashbuckling read that is part James Bond and part Pirates of the Caribbean.
A famous author is on tour and during her last stop a stranger stands up and walks out. The author sees the man leave and suddenly faints. She did something bad when she was younger and now the people in her life could find out the truth.
I enjoyed this one, even though I figured out the twist.
This biography of Tiger Woods was interesting. He is so private and I always wondered what his fellow PGA players thought about him. I enjoyed reading about the behind the scenes relationships with his caddies, Butch, Nike, and his family. You also see just how tough he is as he trained with Navy Seals and was interested in joining the military at one time. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Reading this Advanced Reader Copy but struggling a bit with the story. I want to love every ARC I get 😩
Beach weekend and this book is so good. Love reading while listening to the waves 💙🌊🌊
I've only been to Vegas once, back in the 80's, but these stories are intriguing and interesting. How did the little wedding chapel get its start? Want to know the back story about the major developers in Vegas? What about the Elvis impersonator who left Texas in a pink Cadillac to make major bank marrying folks on the strip? A fun read about the stories that make Vegas...well, Vegas.
It‘s spring break season here in Florida, so staying at home today and reading
I received an advanced copy (squeal!) so digging into this tonight
This will be published in May - Eszter goes on a vacation to a remote island in Mexico and dies. Her partner, Abby, was supposed to meet her a few days later at the island and doesn‘t understand what happened to her girlfriend. She gets to the island and begins asking questions, which is a bad idea. Lots of trigger warnings, but it was overall a good read.
I love a book that makes you scream, “WHAT??????”
No. Just no. I want to throw the book across the room, but it‘s a library book, so I‘ll treat it with reverence. I‘ve never wanted to smother a character more than Grace. I was hoping she would meet a violent death.
I‘ve been sick today so chilling with my Kindle. Hope all you Littens are having a great Saturday!
Felicity, Hannah, Grace and Alice have been best friends since childhood but something happened to cause them to not speak. Two years later, out of the blue, Felicity invites the girls to Boswana for an all expense paid vacation to celebrate her birthday. Once they land in Africa, they can‘t find Felicity at the resort and begin to wonder if something is wrong, since they are the only people there.
I‘m off for President‘s Day and my plan is to read, read and read some more 😎
The Compound is a house out in the desert where 18 young people compete in a reality competition by pairing up with another contestant. As they work together to solve challenges, they get rewarded with items from sponsors (don‘t forget to thank them!)
A couple goes into the crime lab and holds people hostage because the police failed to find their missing daughter several years ago. They threaten to burn critical evidence of major crimes until the police find their daughter. This is a quick thriller that was really good. If you like James Patterson, you‘ll probably like this one.
Not sure that this book merits the Reese‘s Book Club status. I mean, you only pick 12 books a year and it should be a stand-out. A jawdropper. Different than what you‘ve read before. This is a Scooby Doo episode. Well, without the dog and the villain dressed as a ghost. It wasn‘t bad, but isn‘t one that is a stand out.
Freezing here in Tampa. It‘s a blanket evening for sure!
Such a sad book from someone who really had everything until her dad died. The beginning of the book felt a little manic, probably because it was Lisa Marie‘s real words. It was kinda all over the place and made more sense when Riley became more of the narrative. I was surprised about her relationship with Michael Jackson. I really thought at the time that it some weird PR stunt. Overall enjoyed the book but man, what a tragedy.
Started this one on my lunch hour
Hard to read due to trigger warnings, but a very satisfying ending
Just finished this audiobook but it‘s also on Kindle Unlimited. A short novella (it‘s not listed on Litsy)
I see why this book had so much buzz and hit a lot of favorites list in 2024. If you pick it up and think it‘s too long for me (almost 600 pages) just know that it‘s a fast read with short chapters and worth every.single.page. It‘s a mystery, but so much more. It‘s really about friendship that turns into family and what you will do to help someone you love.
Clare and Marisa are twins who couldn‘t be more different. When they are in high school, Clare goes to a party and doesn‘t come home. This haunts Marisa as she grows up and on her 30th bday decides that she is ready to dig in to what happened to her sister. As she asks the people closest to her about that night, she realizes that they are all@lying about something.
What if the smartest high schoolers in the world don't go to college but get sold to the highest bidder? Their parents get millions of dollars and the teenager gets groomed to be the next "X". This makes for a WEIRD book, as Palahniuk tends to write, as you really don't know what's going to happen when you turn the page. I also didn't "get" a lot of the book, as I don't take LSD & it will also win an award for writing the word "avocado" A LOT
