Reading Recap

Thursday, October 15, 2020


Hi Everyone! 

Just stopping by quickly with a couple of mini reviews of books I have been reading lately:

Christmas Shopaholic
This one was a fun read with a cliffhanger at the end! Thanks Sophie for bringing us back together to catch up on the latest here.

Trouble in Paradise
The final in this trilogy from Elin. We needed this! Glad to have had a chance to find out how it would all go.

The Book of Two Ways
Jodi Picoult's new one. I found this one very interesting. If you like Egypt this may be one for you! 

What are you reading? 

 

Happy Reading!

First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros

Monday, October 12, 2020



Hi Everyone! 

Stopping by to share the First Chapter First Paragraph Tuesday Intros. This meme is hosted by @I’d Rather Be at the Beach. 

Here is how it works:
Share the first paragraph (or a few) of a book you’re reading or thinking about reading soon.

"My calendar is full of dead people. When my phone alarm chimes, I fish it out from the pocket of my cargo pants. I've forgotten, with the time change, to turn off the reminder. I'm still groggy with sleep, but I open the date and read the names: Iris Vale. Eun Ae Kim. Alan Rosenfeldt. Marlon Jensen."

-Book of Two Ways by Jodi Picoult
