This year, instead of Christmas in Ghana, I'll be reading about the capital city of a country I love... https://www.instagram.com/p/CJMaKYSAegB/?igshid=1druggimvov56

September Wrap-up 📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/CFyYeWdAzDi/?igshid=o8ve7bclnicy

August Reading Wrap-up... 📚 Such a random selection because #pandemic reading is as strange and random as the time we live in. 📚 Anywho, my August favorite was an immersion reading of How to Lose the Time War by Amar El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone https://www.instagram.com/p/CEmPkvYAKoF/?igshid=4j3x4ohhxpjg

So pretty... (at Barnes & Noble) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDXhaxQgoHP/?igshid=ueqmu4yw88f6

Now reading... Prosper's Demon by K. J. Parker (at Cary, North Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC193O6g_0X/?igshid=2um9298rj7s1

Long weekend stack (at least half of it) ... I've started all of them, I just need to focus enough to finish one 🙏🏿 📚 https://www.instagram.com/p/CCMCguoA39l/?igshid=90d58q14j0t1

Reading/Listening to these collections of short stories makes me want to re-watch the show. https://www.instagram.com/p/CAx9WOjB7wS/?igshid=btcnf7yub785

Read/listen to this book. #thatsall https://www.instagram.com/p/CAjF2g6AaVv/?igshid=7iu29zjjpqgb

This story is messy, so very messy. The murder, the "investigation", the husband (messy and a wuss), the narrator...yup, just messy 🙄 🔬 I'm only 80% in and I already be my review pretty much done but I need to see this mess through to the end. Can you tell that I love true crime and cold case investigations? 🔬 Who remembers the show, Cold Case? https://www.instagram.com/p/B_6e7SYAjBD/?igshid=k1cwx0qmbt2q

April Reads... 📚 🎧 Quarantine has made me fully appreciate audiobooks. Especially since I live alone and basically avoid watching television, I now listen to audiobooks while completing #QuarantineDIY projects and cooking. They are helping me to maintain my sanity. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_oht3pgrUW/?igshid=17ioote7x7nfd

I was pleasantly surprised by this cute story. I was expecting a Hallmark type love story but it is Hallmark meets Lifetime movie plot twist. Just the type of story I need during these crazy times. Special thank you to @kensingtonbooks and @netgalley for the ARC. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_biDIjAoRN/?igshid=wbxn09n34rh4
