I haven't read much fantasy lately, but this wild treasure hunt across urban legends of Old Hollywood was a fun read. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Happy #tbrchallenge day! For this month's TBR challenge, I read Mr. Churchill's Secretary by Susan Elia MacNeal. This one had been lingering in my TBR pile for years, and I was glad to give it a whirl. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

A happy mail surprise. Yay!

I was so glad I read this book. This epistolary novel was a fantastic character study. www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

This one was actually a reread for me, but I'd read it so long ago that the details were hazy. I think I may have liked it even more on reread. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

The drama in this photo!

Sometimes giving myself permission to DNF feels good. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I finally got around to reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle. Deservedly a classic! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Looking for an eerie Halloween read? The Haunting of Payne's Hollow would definitely qualify. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This creepy thriller wasn't perfect, but it was quite an engaging read. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

For this month's #tbrchallenge, I started a new-to-me paranormal series from 2007. It's more psychic powers than "here be monsters," but I still enjoyed it. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I've enjoyed most of Riley Sager's books, and this one had quite a twist to it. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Here's some amazing news... READING RAINBOW is back and @mychal3ts.bsky.social is the new host! Congrats, Mychal! bookriot.com/new-host-of-...

Getting back to the St. Cyr mysteries. This installment of the series kept me riveted! www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Kimberly Belle write thrillers that tend to be both absorbing and disturbing. In The Personal Assistant, she explores the world of mommy-blogging and shows how it can go off the rails. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

For this month's #TBRChallenge, I dipped into my Harlequin stash for a sweet story of friends-to-lovers and the antics of their matchmaking buddies. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I'll admit that I bought Nothing to See Here entirely based on the cover. However, it's a very touching story of found family, and I ended up loving it. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I just got my mail amd I'm so happy to see Bas Bleu is back! I hope they succeed. Did you see this, @darlenemarshall.bsky.social ?

I've really enjoyed Sarah MacLean's historicals, so I was curious to see what she did with a contemporary setting. These Summer Storms wasn't perfect, but it definitely has its moments. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I first discovered the Ffion Morgan series via Book of the Month Club, and I'm glad I did. I picked up the second book in the series, and it was a winner. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

For this month's #tbrchallenge read, my pick took me into a workplace romance at a construction firm. It's a grumpy-sunshine pairing between an interior designer and an architect, with a revenge plot thrown in. Not perfect, but it has its moments. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Slightly diminish a band: Imagine Dragonfruit

I'd never read Julie Clark before, but The Ghostwriter ended up being a winner for me. Now I'll have to check out her backlist... www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

ATTN: If you’re a DoJ employee and have knowledge of the missing minute (or 2:53) of Epstein jail video, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻

I wanted to read one of the few Mary Stewart books I'd never read. Thunder on the Right didn't entirely work for me but I'm glad I read it. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

For this month's #tbrchallenge, I went back to the early days of my romance reading and picked up a 2005 romantic suspense. Not only is Karen Rose still writing, but if this novel is any example, her early books hold up fairly well. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Don’t let this be buried.

Sooo DuckDuckGo is officially goated. WHAT?! You mean I don’t need to download complicated website blacklist plug-ins? I can just turn this shit off???

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

It's been about as hot as the surface of the sun in VA, so of course I had to read a summer romance. Same Time Next Summer wasn't perfect, but it was sweet. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I enjoy Tess Gerritsen's writing, and her latest series is a delight. Retired spies solving crimes - and there's a lovely slow burn romance starting up in there, too. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I wasn't a fan of the ending, but otherwise this book both cracked me up and made me feel like the author spied on the search committee I sat on back in my 30s. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This thriller takes an everyday feature I remember from college life in the late 90s and turns it into the stuff of nightmares. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I like Beatriz Williams' writing and dual timelines often work for me, but I have to admit that The Secret Life of Violet Grant wasn't my favorite of her books. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This one was a book club read, and definitely a winner for me. I love a good second chance story, whether it's in romance or in this case, mainstream fiction about a young woman sorely in need of an opportunity. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I love a good road trip - and a good road trip romance. My #tbrchallenge read for this month was definitely a winner. This one is a Regency from the 1980s (now reissued in ebook) that deserves some rediscovery! #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

My readthrough of Karen Rose's backlist continues with Have You Seen Her? This one felt a lot more polished than her debut and I enjoyed it. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I read this while the recent papal conclave was occurring, and it was a very appropriate read. Extremely good book www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

The reviews made this mystery by a debut author sound fantastic but it was...um...not. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

I don't read tons of literary fiction, but every now and then I find a winner. Wild Dark Shore was quite a haunting read. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

What in the Hunger Games is going on here? This is shameful.

I finally got around to reading The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Definitely worth the hype. However, despite seeing it referred to as a romance by a few reviewers, this one is definitely not a genre romance. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

And I just preordered Simone St. James' upcoming book! So long to wait.... www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

In case you wondered whether Amazon would chicken out - their cowardice took no time at all to surface.

I enjoy Susan Meissner's historical fiction, and this one was a good read - especially since I was just in New York City. And while not genre romance, this one had just enough of a hint of HEA to feel satisfying. #romancelandia www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Blueberry migraine

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Folks in CA- This beautiful boy needs a home so badly! If you or someone you know can give him a chance, hit up @friendsofbear.bsky.social Backstory- Somewhere in San Francisco is a woman who decided to abandon her cat because she started dating some loser who didn't want her cat around.

When I feel like I've been slogging along for ages and I'm only 50 pages in, clearly this isn't the book for me. DNF- www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

This is horrifying. Whoever from DOGE did this may be loyal to something, but it certainly isn't this country and its constitution.
