I love all thos behind the scenes stuff. You'd think it would ruin the magic, but it just makes it more extensive. It still seems magically that they can accomplish what they do. #5-2023

I love these books. Theyre a great reminder to take life a little less seriously, but make it a little more comfortable. #4-2023
This just left me feeling sad. I was angry through many of the pages, but in the end, I'm just sad. For Harry. But also for his entire family. He seems like he's still a lost boy, stalled at 12 years old. No one understands him (except Meghan), but he doesn't bother to understand anyone else either. #3-2023
The Bridgerton prequels kick off with a bang. Or more appropriately it jumps off. With all the charm of the original series we're living the tales of the previous generation this time, beginning at familiar Aubrey Hall with a determined Billie. #2-2023
Not even sure what to say about Perry's autobiography. Clearly written by him, you can hear his voice through it all. Even the stuff that's super hard to read. Heartbreaking and uplifting, but maybe a smidge more real than anyone asked for. Could his life BE more dramatic? #1-2023
While there was an understandably high amount of Real Housewives included in this book, I enjoyed the sentiments of being ourselves and making our own way in the world. Nothing better than being the person you want to be with no apologies. #93-2022
Fairly trite and not as amusing as I anticipated. Could be seen as offensive in moments. #02-2022
I had hip dysplasia, though it wasn't discovered until my thirties. I felt the need to support the kids who are like me but who have the opportunity to be "fixed" before it becomes necessary for total hip replacement. This would have been a great resource had it existed. #91-2022
What a l9vely collection of the Queen's most iconic looks and some of the lesser known but still fabulous ones. For a woman who was Queen for over 75 years, she absolutely knew what worked for her as far as style. #85-2022
It took me a bit longer to get into Gareth and Hyacinth's story than it has in the earlier books in the series, but I very much enjoyed the mystery that unfolded. #84-2022 #bridgerton
This is such a throwback toy childhood. My day was thoroughly made any time a Scholastic book order came in with a Sharon, Lois and Bram record in it. It's still a treat any time I revisit those moments, like this book prompted me to do. #83-2022
This one tool a long while to get to the point. We knew it was to be Michael and Francesca but man did they delay themselves. It was a worthwhile journey though, especially with the addition of the second epilogue. #82-2022
The latest installment in the Bookmobile Cat Mysteries is just as amusing as the series had grown to be. Minnie is a little more settled in life, but it doesn't mean she'll stop getting into trouble trying to help right wrongs. #81-2022
I don't know what I was expecting from this, but being the first memoir of sorts from our Harry Potter kids it didn't disappoint. Felton shares good and bad experiences from his life before, during and after Potter with an honesty that's surprising and leaves us at the end by sharing his vulnerability. Well worth the read. #80-2022
More Atlas. And not a prequel though there is more info about their start. I only read it for the Atlas view. Lily perspective is... dramatic sometimes. I get it. But I still find it less interesting to read when I have to figure out why she's over reacting. This book is way less optionally draining than the first. Just a story with a little drama. Well played Colleen Hoover to get us hooked. #78-2022
Its ridiculous how much I'm enjoying this series. Quinn is great at characters and the reading is easy so I'm flying through the series. The only question now is whether I'll enjoy the TV series as much as the books. #76-2022
I avoided these books, and the related series for no reason but the hype. They couldn't possibly be that good! But when a fiendish friend found the series available on #bookoutlet (except one) I caved. Without having read a word I owned the entire series. I am now grateful for the bad influence of my friend because I am all in. Simon and Daphne were charming and enchanting. I only hope the rest of the series carries on the same.

Read these back to back on vacation. Super excited for the third one (that isnt out until February!!) So that I can finish the series.
This needs to be a three season TV show.

Book 9 in the Bookmonbile Cat Mystery series has Minnie solving yet another murder (or two) and dealing with the eventual relocating of herself and Eddie to their as yet unfinished new home. Cute story and very well qualifies as a cozy mystery. #70-2022
Book 8 in the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series and I'm finally getting to really like the characters. Minnie still does (and says) a lot of ridiculous things but at least Rafe, Ash and Kristen are a bit more logical. #69-2022
Book 7 in the Bookmobile Cat Mystery series was not a disappointment. I'm starting to know the pattern of the stories, but each one is just intriguing enough to keep me interested while not taxing my brain. #67-2022
Needed a break from emotional reading so I decided to revisit the Ralph Mouse Collection by childhood favorite Beverly Cleary. Never a disappointment. #63, 64 & 65-2022
Wow. This one is a whirlwind of emotion. I'm never much of a follower when it comes to book trends and hype because I often don't feel the same but this one is definitely deserving. I couldn't put it down. #62-2022
I liked this book in the Bookmobile Cat Mysteries series more than any of the others so far. Minnie was less blinded by her own brain and things just went along more clearly. The mystery wasn't that difficult to figure out now that I've realized it's really important to pay attention to Eddie. Looking forward to the next installment. #61-2022
Not as detailed (nor well researched) but with some beautiful live shots of Michael performing, this was a great companion piece to the more extensive biography I read just before. #60-2022
One of my earliest celebrity "crushes" and a recently reinvigorated interest led me to picking this up. I vividly remember hearing of GM's death and how that killed a tiny part of my childhood. This is an interesting study into the psychology of what can be called George's downfall. #59-2022
Of course I've already seen the movie but I do love picking up these screenplay versions to see what other tidbits I can find that I didn't notice. This one doesn't share its cover style with the previous two, which is disappointing but doesn't make me enjoy the storytelling any less. #58-2022
For some reason, I liked this book in the series more than the others I've read so far. Maybe the series has hit a stride for me finally and I can relate better to the main character. Either way, several more to come with Eddie, the Bookmobile Cat. #57-2022
So many twists and turns. Just when you think it's all figured out there's another unexpected moment. Craziness ensues! This is why i call Kelley Armstrong my favourite author!! #55-2022
The final installment in A Royal Guide to Monster Slaying series was a great ending to the pentology. (Is there such a word? 5-book series.. think on it.) We met number of new "monsters" and came to see that humans can be just as monstrous as they are. #54-2022
Simple to read but a powerful message. Perfect for a day that I'm struggling with self-worth. #53-2022
I don't even know what to say on this one. What a great book. One of the few that I've ever felt has lived up to its hype. Five π. 2 ππ» Definitely high on the favorite reads of the the year. #52-2022
Final book in the Baby-Sitters Club Book Collection. At least this one. This book culminates with Kristy's mom marrying Watson and completes that story arc that began in the first book of the series. There's a second collector tin with another 6 books on my shelf. I'm looking forward to reminding myself of the next part of the story. #51-2022
Vignettes of the cast of the Wicked Villains series. It's an interesting collection but not as engaging as the stories were. #49-2022
Thr last complete novel in the Wicked Villains series. Twisted Sleeping Beauty. Not what I was expecting. #48-2022
Still working on the Wicked Villains series - today was completing the twisted version of The Little Mermaid. Intriguing. #47-2022
I often forget how poignant and applicable Brene Brown's books are until I actually sit down and finish one. I love her work and how she makes it relatable but I definitely need a reminder to read her on a regular basis. #45-2022
