Just OK - don't listen to the audiobook! I hated the narrator. She sounded like she was whispering most of the time. Maybe she thought that would increase the thriller factor? Maybe it's better if read.

The only one I have read is Postmortem as few years ago. I did give it 4⭐s.

Christina wrote: "Erin, the page count was originally listed as 216 on the tracking ss, that's what Bernadette was referring to - however, I have changed it to 230 since ;) we're all good! :)"

I'll be clearer with my page number references in the future😉😂🙄🤦‍♀️.

@Erin, your link for Wicked Stepmother on your shelf is the audiobook. The pages you entered are for the Kindle version. Which did you read? If the audiobook, the pages would be from the default which is 230 pages.

@Olivia, I removed the entry for My Daddy Is A Hitman you just made because I already entered it on the Team SS. You entered it earlier today on the tracking SS.

Thanks. I hate when the gremlins take over!

@Jade, have you finished To Have and to Hate? It's marked as finished on the SS but is not on your TT shelf.

That was a great audiobook - 5⭐s for me. If you ever get the chance to see "Come from Away", do it. It's a musical based on the same story of the planes that landed in Newfoundland on 9/11. One of my newer Broadway favorites. It may be on Apple TV.

I'm doing the same. Holding off on my longer books until next month.

I can take Chipmunk #10 - Read a book where the author name contains 10 characters (exc spaces). I have The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz ready to go!

I’ll be finished at 500+ page book in 2 hours or so😀

@Anna - can you add Trusting Liam to you TT shelf? Thanks.

I will be done True Compass: A Memoir tomorrow (5/23) which has 532 pages. I can get another 500-599 page book finished as well, maybe 2.

I'll save my other big books for next month since we will need to go through this all over again.

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the ballpark ⚾️ watching the Phillies beat the Cubs😊. As we are stuck in traffic, I’m trying to catch up on recent posts on my phone. I think I’ll need to wait until I get home them.

@Robin - you're back😃 - we hadn't seen you in a few days. Hope everything is OK. Glad to see you posting again😉

I found out this rule earlier this month when I wanted to use a book without a completion date.☹

No, for prior mods you do a BOM that was before 2020 for those."

@Erin - I don't see The Book of Lost Things on the BOM list?? Do you see it?

I had a good weekend. We have my family over for Mother's Day. My husband's likes to barbeque for the mother's in my family every year.💞

Two good books for me this week were The World According to Garp and Pay It Forward - both 4 stars - I'm stinging with 5 stars, so 4 is very good for me🤣 - I recommend both!



Robin, I agree with you Their Eyes Were Watching God - great book and I also don't why I haven't read it sooner.

I'm currently listening to Memoirs of a Geisha and am disappointed in the narrator - very bland/monotone. But I will muddle through.

I just finished it tonight - glad it's over! One thing about those ladies - they certainly carry their toiletries bag everywhere.🤣🤣

Can't kill dinos and jungle men without good hygiene!
