I was engaged in this story pretty much from page 1. I loved the plot, characters, and setting. Not that the setting is any place I would want to live, but I felt it was something a bit new, and different from what I've read previously.

Sunday Post #90: Loving Misfits Market
I've been getting weekly boxes from Misfits Market. (Note: the link is a referral link, which will get me some points I can use towards a future box, but I am not affiliated with Misfits Market in any way. I just really enjoy this service and have recommended it to some friends and family.) Having… Continue reading Sunday Post #90: Loving Misfits Market
Abandoned in Death by J.D. Robb
Say goodnight, baby darling Three young women have gone missing. They're all pretty, mid-twenties - someone clearly has a type. But no one links their disappearances until the first - Lauren Elder - is found lying peacefully on a bench in a children's playground. She is neatly dressed with a wide black velvet ribbon covering… Continue reading Abandoned in Death by J.D. Robb
Sunday Post #89: Back to Exercising
I've caught myself now several times recently, falling for stress foods. The Starburst candies, the Pop-Tarts - Brown Sugar Cinnamon in particular is a major comfort food for me, and of course the many cans of soda, Dr. Pepper in particular. So I've decided I'm going to make a larger effort to get back to… Continue reading Sunday Post #89: Back to Exercising
March TBR
I won't be playing the game this month. When you are coming out of a slump, sometimes you really want to read the books you couldn't get on your TBR set by prompts. Having said that, I did awesome for February's TBR. I finished 5 books in February! One being Bone Season by Samanth Shannon,… Continue reading March TBR
2022 Reading Challenges
I'm sure most readers have already decided if they will or will not participate in any reading challenges this year. I wasn't sure how the year was going to go, and it really hasn't started that great with me starting 4 books in January, but only managed to finish 1. Although, I am feeling very… Continue reading 2022 Reading Challenges
February TBR | 2022
A quick wrap up of my January TBR; I started four of the six books, but only managed to finish one. Work hit hard, and I feel like I imagine it would feel like racing in the Indy 500. This has led to more than a few late nights working, and many days where I'm… Continue reading February TBR | 2022
Reacting to These Books Will Self Destruct 2021
I did a post in 2020 of books I wanted to read in 2021 because they had been on my shelf for a while and I had at least started most of them and then put down for something. For being in a reading slump most of 2021, I feel I did pretty well in… Continue reading Reacting to These Books Will Self Destruct 2021

New TBR Game! | January TBR
I have been loving the readathons lately. They have somehow helped me pick books to read and have been pulling me out of this reading slump. I still feel myself getting over the slump. Or maybe my love of reading is changing. I just don't seem to want to read like I used to and so find myself putting books down even though I'm enjoying them. Then instead of picking them back up after a few weeks, I end up picking something new. The readathons have helped me focus and give me a reason to finish the book. Even though I've decided not to throw in punishments if I don't finish the TBR due to life likely getting in the way, I hope this game will still give some motivation for me to read the books.
