#WonderousWednesday @Eggs

1. I had two dogs growing up. Both my dad brought home for me. The first was a shaggy mixed breed that the previous owner moved and couldn't keep. I had him from around 4 years till he passed when I was 10. Then a shepherd mix , another rehome, that lived until my sophomore year in college. As an adult 7 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, and 1 cat. Also, had a pony when I was young, and 5 horses throughout my life.

I enjoyed the book and the movie. ❤️📕🎬

This is age gap (10 years), forbidden romance where the MMC falls in love with his best friend's little sister. I liked it. It was all fluff. Yet, the author did a great job making me care about the characters. 4🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader

Happy Tuesday! Here are today's #Two4Tuesday questions. Everyone is welcome to play. I will tag a few Littens to get us started.

My answers:
💵 Yes, I still carry cash. A couple of restaurants and local businesses offer a discount if you pay with cash.
💵 The MMC comes from money and made a lot of money himself in the tech industry. Some his actions are greatly influenced by his wealth.

Right now I'm reading the tagged book. I brushed my teeth, put on my PJs, and in that short time someone decided to make themselves at home on the bed. 🤪😆🙃

"Spring Fever" by Mary Kay Andrews gave me spring vibes and not just because of the title.

Out to lunch with my hubby. My drink looks too pretty to consume. Also, going through my Kindle app on my phone, trying to decide what to read next.

I need something to listen to at work. So I am starting this one now. ❤️🎧📕
#SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader

This one was just OK. The dialog was cheesy, and the humor sometimes fell flat. Also, if I had to read another scene involving man-scaping, I was going to lose it. The first book was much better. 3 - 3.25 🌟 #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader

I liked this second chance story about a retired MMA fighter, Aiden, who lost his wife to cancer and is starting over as a gym owner. Loved how protective he was of his daughter. Also, liked FMC too. Always love a strong FMC. My only issue is, it got a little ridiculous how Aiden thought 10 years was too much of an age gap and how he was hung up on the idea that he had not grieved enough. Minor stuff, still a good story. 3.5 🌟

This maybe an unpopular opinion; however, I just couldn't make myself finish. Bailing at 35% read. I didn't care about the MC and the plot didn't get my attention. The whole thing felt like a slog. #HailTheBail #Read2025 @DieAReader
I was reading for #AuthorAMonth @Soubhiville challenge and was excited since I enjoyed Bardugo's other books. On to better things!

1. Tagged. This one pulled at my heart strings. You also have to read Keeping 13 because it is a continuation of the story.
2. Not yet. However, I might DNF " The Familiar ". I can't get into it, and I don't care about the MC.

I enjoyed this book but it was hard to get invested in. I tried reading the physical book and couldn't. I ended up with the audiobook and liked it better. 3.5 🌟 #Read2025 @DieAReader

Saw this today and isn't it the truth.

Happy tax day for those in the U.S.! If you are not in the U. S. feel free to talk about when you do file your taxes. Have a great day!

💸 My tax return is complex; therefore, I pay a CPA firm that specializes in tax to prepare and file mine. I believe they filed mine yesterday.
