Very cute cozy! Quinn moves from Seattle to a small village in Ireland after breaking a witchy rule. She‘s to take over running the village bookstore, and literally stumbles over a dead body on her first day. On top of trying to solve the murder, she also finds that a vampire book club meets in secret at her shop.

Loved this one! Moriarty can weave stories and characters together like no one else. And this one is very thought provoking.

I truly loved this series! A good balance of sweet and spicy! Kinda sad that there won‘t be any more Lovelight books, at least according to the internet.

This series has been a total guilty pleasure! So much like a soap opera…but this was a good end to the series!

September‘s #bookspinbingo card is ready to go! 🍂

Very happy with my #bookspin and #doublespin picks this month! 🍂

A pretty good reading month in August! Got a couple of bingos!

Love Ali Hazelwood! Loved the Italian setting and the two MCs as well! And Eli and Rue from Not in Love are part of the cast of characters 😆

#bookspinbingo - got a bingo!

Set in Ireland (and I have a weakness for Irish settings 😂) so this is my pick for September‘s #fictionaltraveler!

I‘ve had this book for a long time so I‘m making it my #readordonate pick for September!

My September choice for #thematiccozies!

Got my September #bookspinbingo list all ready to go!

I really enjoyed the book so I‘m excited for the adaptation - such a stellar cast!

Another great one from Backman! Great characters and all the feelings here!

I am a Jeremy Renner fan and enjoyed hearing from him the story of his near-fatal accident - being crushed by a Snowcat trying to save his nephew from the same fate. It‘s a bit gruesome in places and a bit repetitive in others, but the fact that he lived to tell the tale and came out the other side more positive and grateful, must be a testament to the kind of person he is. A real life superhero for sure!

Pretty cute summer romance! I did laugh out loud many times and loved the FMC, Phoebe, from the start. Bel was an absolutely annoying character, but she redeemed herself near the end!

I am trying out a new-to-me creative hobby - art journaling! I‘ve done the front cover (both sides) and the first page. We‘ll see if the hobby sticks but I am enjoying it! And hopefully, the more I do it, the better I‘ll get. 🎨

***And before anyone yells at me, I had a book whose spine broke and the pages started falling out, so I decided to repurpose them into art! 😂

Very creepy! Thanks to @MallenNC for introducing me to this awesome Irish writer!

#pantone2025 #vaporblue

Wow! That‘s about all I can say. The last 10-15% of the book was just awesome! This story definitely went to places I wasn‘t expecting.

Thanks @MallenNC for the loan!

It‘s been a hot minute since I read The Woman in Cabin 10, and I was a bit worried that some of this might be lost on me, but there were recaps on the characters and events from the first book. It was a fun ride! Although it may have been a bit too long and most people could probably figure out the whodunnit (at least partially), I still enjoyed it.

My grown, 22 year old daughter asked me to cross stitch her a Stitch, so of course, I said yes. She loves Stitch and she picked a pattern from Etsy. It‘ll take a while - it‘s kinda big and there‘s lots of colors, but it‘ll be really cute when it‘s done!

I liked this one! Kept me guessing for sure. Alex, an influencer, has her life upended when a post of her slut-shaming a 16 y/o starlet goes viral after a night of drinking with her personal assistant. AC, the personal assistant, then disappears. Did she blow up Alex‘s life? A cautionary tale of living your life completely online!

I usually love a dog story, but this one was just a slog through the middle…I almost gave up on it. But the ending was really good and sweet!

So good! I blew through this audiobook in one sitting because I didn‘t want to stop listening. Loved Nora!

I usually really like this author‘s books, but this one fell flat for me. A pretty slow burn, so for a thriller, it was kinda boring. 🤷🏻‍♀️

#bookspinbingo - got a bingo!

So good! Kept me guessing and there were some really good twists!

Was disappointed with this one. The pace was slow, and honestly, I was kinda bored. And I didn‘t care for the ending, which was ambiguous. I like my endings tidy!

Trump needs to fuck all the way off.

I resist in my own ways, one of them by talking to my daughters, 22 and 16 years old, who I‘m scared for on a daily basis, about what a shit show the US is. Telling them that they need to NOT be quiet! And telling them that no matter what, they have a safe space with me.
Making these kinds of cross stitches also makes me happy! This one is for my oldest, so 2 more to go!

Sisters Zoe and Cassie form a band and get famous, and their stardom only lasts for one year, when a tragedy breaks up the band. Zoe has since become a wife and mom, while Cassie has isolated herself in Alaska, and the two haven‘t spoken since the night the band broke up. When Zoe‘s daughter enters a reality show singing competition, she upends all their lives. Really good story, but Zoe was the literal worst, and Cassie was a 👇🏻

So cute! Loved the Key West setting and the dynamic between the MCs - both were great characters. Center has done it again!

An entertaining start to the series…I‘d read more of them for sure! Rachel, a police officer, is dumped by her fiancé, so her bestie Sarah, a crew member on a luxury cruise ship, suggests that Rachel join her onboard. Rachel befriends a wealthy elderly passenger traveling solo, and quickly learns someone is trying to kill the old woman.

Did I listen to a kids book just to satisfy an #ispybingo square? Yes. Yes, I did! 🤣🤣🤣

It was really cute, though!

Very twisty and kept me guessing!

Well, this certainly was chilling! I didn‘t want to put it down.
