Hi Krista. There's a third Molly the Maid book coming out in October and it looks like it's Christmas themed. I hope Molly doesn't find a dead Santa. 🎅😁

Sounds like a successful readathon. Even if you DNF/Unhaul you are figuring out what you want to read and moving things out that don't work for you.

Which of the Fiona Davis books is your favorite. I haven’t read on yet. Maybe you could rank them?
@BooksAndJams5 сағат бұрын
I think I liked Chelsea Girls best so far, but I have Lions of Fifth Avenue to read and that one is about the NY Library. I have a feeling that one might become my fave. I have never done a ranking of books because I don't feel like I remember enough about them to rank them! haha.

I cannot read Weyward because of the triggers. I didn’t realize women were punished for talking with their animals. I love animals and even talk to animals i see on You Tube! I don’t have BOTM so I read four old purchases from my Audible library and they were good! I also read 3 new Audible downloads. I felt quite accomplished. River of Teeth - Park/nature setting The Vanishing Type - Found Family The Summer of Yes - Mac-n-Cheese Agent 355 - Shish Kabobs The Whispered Word - Veggie Platter The Mystery Guest - Baked Beans Between a Flock and a Hard Place - fruit salad Thank you for a great challenge. This is my second favorite. MGM is my very favorite challenge!_

I realized while editing that I forgot to say to check trigger warnings with Weyward. I know there are many who needed to know that. Oops. Glad you had a successful Ketchupathon. Love that you used audiobooks and got so many off your Audible shelf.
@KatieReadsKoziesAndMore4 сағат бұрын
@@BooksAndJams You added the warning as a caption. That was an excellent idea. And it worked! We are all human and cannot be responsible for everything. It is our own responsibility to check for our own triggers. You do an excellent job.
