Check & Mate | Ali Hazelwood
post image
Pickpick

I love Ali Hazelwood and this YA debut was so good. The characters, the world of competitive chess and the stresses of caring for family at a young age were all so well written. Loved the audiobook!

#WhatsNewWednesday

Not sure if you can tell from the pic but my knuckle shouldn‘t be this swollen.
Many of you know I‘ve had issues writing for a while. Now I can‘t hold a pen, crochet, or even hold my mugs with my right hand.
After injections, therapy, dry needling etc. I‘m out of non surgical options.
I‘m having joint replacement surgery in early April. I‘ll be in a splint for 6 weeks and limited use for 3 months.

This is my first book by Lawhon. However, if her writing is this stellar in all of her books it won‘t be my last.
This was so good! I loved the mix of historical fiction and mystery. Very well done.

Here are my April #ReadOrDonate books.
They‘ve both been on my shelves for a long time. The Love Interest was one of my March #Roll100 books and I won‘t get to it.
I moved an unread February #Roll100 book (another book that had been on my shelves for a long time) to March‘s #ReadOrDonate and completed it. I like this process for books I‘ve had for years.

Book 2 in The Lake District

I enjoyed this one as much as the first. Redland has a way of writing characters you immediately connect to and care about while building a wonderful place for them to grow, grieve, love & find themselves.

I knew I‘d need something with positive & caring characters after reading the dark All the Sinners Bleed. For me there‘s no place better than Eternity Springs. This is book #11 in the series and I loved it! This time we didn‘t have a newcomer to town but instead got the story of two characters we first met as teenagers. It was wonderful to see their stories evolve.
