This one was a mixed bag for me. While there were some bits and pieces I liked about it, I messed the humor. Not surprising since Pratchett didn't write this one. Still if you like the Discworld series you will like this one too. 3.5⭐️

I read this book for #LittensLoveRomance hosted by @StayCurious. Total fluff and the definition of a beach read. I liked the characters, especially the FMC, Evie. The plot was good. I felt the ending was a bit rushed. If you like feel-good stories with little tension, this would be a good book for you. 3.5⭐️ #Read2025 @DieAReader #ShelfSweeper @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 #JumpStartSummer

Another fluff read with a side of steam. I liked the characters, and the plot was good (though not believable). I saw the twist coming, so that was a bit of a disappointment. 3.5 ⭐️

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe #TLT

Dismal is the word I would use to describe my results. The only reason my score was a ten instead of a 2 or 3 is I was forced to read some of these books on the list in school.

My favorites are: A Passage to India and The Great Gatsby.

If you scored more than 15 color me impressed.

lil1inblue I got 7. My inner student is so ashamed. 😭😂 😉 6d
ChaoticMissAdventures I scored 21 and I still don't understand how or why we all did better on the older books 😂 The real question is were there any on the list you want to read? There were not many I would pick up today and read. 6d
TheSpineView @ChaoticMissAdventures I doubt I will ever read any of this list. 6d

##BlackDaggerBrotherhood #BDB #BDBBuddyRead #BDBBookClub

A quick reminder, in June, we will be reading, or as the case may be rereading, Lover Unleashed book 9 in the series. This book is about Payne, Vishous's sister, and Manuel Manello (Manny) the human doctor. I'm sure we will get some of the other characters' stories too. Looking forward to getting back to this world.
@LitsyEvents @julesG @ShananigansReads @InkedBookworm13

julesG Audiobook is ready to be re-read. 😉 6d
TheSpineView @julesG I'm ready too. Have you watched the trailer yet for the movie? 6d
julesG Yes. I'm underwhelmed. But that's definitely a me-thing. I expected more muscles and taller guys. Which is ridiculous, because we know how tall they are.🤦🏻‍♀️ 6d
See All 6 Comments
TheSpineView @julesG I read that the Casting call requirement was actors at least 6'. I guess there are not many that are 6' 7" and above. 6d
julesG Actors tend to be on the shorter side. ??‍♀️ My son's 6'6" should have sent him. ?? He'd make a great vampire with a mean accent. 6d

🌸 Not sure. I've just always been positive and outgoing and I love making others happy. I guess you can say in the end I am selfish because I am getting something from being my best self.
🌸 tagged because Count Alexander Rostov was loyal and a good friend to those in his life. He was a good person and lord knows not many of those exist anymore.
