25/100: The Vanishing Stair

Amazon.com: The Vanishing Stair (Truly Devious) (9780062422446 ...I sped through the last 20% this morning because I literally could not stop reading, it was that wild of a ride.

The Vanishing Stair got off a little slower than it's predecessor Truly Devious did, but I'm willing to look past it for the rest of the heart-pounding pages. I literally got to the last page, turned it expecting to get another chapter, and all I got were the "acknowledgments." I looked at the page, flipped back to make sure I hadn't skipped anything, whispered "no," yelled "are you kidding me," and flung my kindle onto the couch... my family can attest to this.

But seriously though... what did I just read?
Mysteries were solved, new ones arose, David went crazy... so many things happened!

This is another case of my kindle riding in on a white horse and saving the day; if I hadn't been able to rent this as an ebook, I would have waited for weeks in utter misery until our library opened up again. The magic of technology!

I am looking forward to reading the next and final book and seeing how this all plays out. Do you ever get nervous going into a series finale because you know there is SO MUCH to be resolved and you're worried it's just not gonna happen? Yeah, that's me right now!

On to another book to take away the pain and distract me from pining for the next book :)

36/100: Read It And Weep

Image
Read It And Weep is the fifth installment in the Library Lover's Series by Jenn McKinlay. They are cozy mysteries set in a small town on the east coast. I love reading these kinds of books because they are the ones I don't have to pay too much attention to. The plot is simple and engaging, very much a whodunnit type of setting, and they are just fast-paced enough to keep my attention but not so fast that my heart pounds in my chest :) I tend to use these books as palate cleansers when I find myself in a bit of a book slump or have just finished reading a more intense story. I can get done with them fairly quickly and move on to the next title in my TBR pile... something that is ever-growing. I will say that I did not enjoy this one as much as its predecessors. The author inserted a love triangle into the mix, a trope that I will never feel drawn to. Plus, I found myself irritated through the majority of the book because the main characters refused to communicate. I kept thi

March Wrap-Up + Thoughts

Image
March has been crazy, scary, and confusing; let's be honest! The whole month has been fraught with uncertainty and I'm kinda glad it's over, but reading-wise, it ended up being a banner month for me. I felt like I was transported back when I was a homeschool kid with nothing better to do after finishing her lessons than to curl up on the couch and read for a few hours. On a tangent, my mom used to do this reading program with my sister and I during our summers. It kind of cracks me up now to think about it because in no way did my sister and I need any encouragement to read more than we already did, but I imagine it was a way to keep us focused on more academic things, and away from the T.V. all of the time, even when we were on break. The goal was to read at least a certain number of books between the months of June and August... I want to say it was 60 books but I honestly can't remember. We kept track much like I do right now... a running list of the title, autho

8/100: Book, Line, and Sinker

Image
I managed to slide one more book into January! After The Brutal Telling , I needed a palate cleanser, so I went with Book, Line, and Sinker by Jenn McKinlay. A little backstory: I checked out the first book in this series from my local library. My mom read it after me and we both enjoyed it so much, we wanted to continue on with the series. However, our library does not have all the books and also did not have the next one in the series. So, we did what any good readers do, and ordered them off Ebay. As books go, they were fairly cheap, mainly because they are in the small, mass-market paperback format. So now we have almost the entire series. I don't think we have the newest one she put out, I'm pretty sure she published one in 2019. But we have enough to last us for awhile :) I enjoy these because they are about a librarian living in a small town called Briar Creek in Connecticut. Someday I would love to travel to New England and experience the small, shore-side towns t
