Christy - read as a teenager and let’s say it probably is not the best teen reading. 😬 I would like to read it again as an adult because I’m sure I missed a lot. Joni - currently listening on Hoopla, it’s read by Joni and done really well. Out of the Easy - I read this a few years ago. I enjoyed it. It wasn’t on the same level as Between Shades of Grey, but still a good story.

Welcome to Alberta! As for Albertans not going to the Lake I am not so sure that's true. The problem is around here if we get one nice day EVERYONE goes to the lake and you are on the beach shoulder to shoulder with everyone....as for the water...LOL...now that Is debatable, some of the water is definitely questionable, but you will still see people out there 🤣. I have only read a couple of the books on your TBR ( The Alisa Childers and Monster). I also read Monster many years ago, but I remember it being much different than his other ones. Hopefully you enjoy it! Have fun with your TBR!😊 🌞 📚

Girl you have a LOT of really large books on that cart! 😮 I’m scared for you. 😂 Monster was good, I think you’ll enjoy the re-read. I actually kept it. So my cart is still just library books. I put them on the top shelf in the order I bring them home, and I just grab the next one in line. But now I’m alternating one library book with one owned book, picked by spinning wheel! Success!! Monster is the only book in the last ten that I’ve kept after reading. Wait, that’s a lie. I also kept Wuthering Heights.
