Yep, in the most delicious way, LOL.

Oh me too. The Dragon one. I've been eyeing it off and it's going to be available at my library soon.

As for Bridgerton, I read it back in the day. The show is a whole other thing. Enjoyable in its differences.

Keep reading. It's pretty cool, isn't it. 😍

The Clinic by Cate Quinn

From the critically acclaimed author of Black Widows comes a thriller set in a remote rehab clinic on the Pacific Northwest coast, in which the death of a woman inside prompts her sister to enter the clinic as a patient in order to find the truth. Perfect for fans of Stacy Willingham and Tarryn Fisher!

Meg works for a casino in LA, catching cheaters and popping a few too many pain pills to cope, following a far different path than her sister Haley, a famous actress. But suddenly reports surface of Haley dying at the remote rehab facility where she had been forced to go to get her addictions under control.

There are whispers of suicide, but Meg can't believe it. She decides that the best way to find out what happened to her sister is to check in herself – to investigate what really happened from the inside.

Battling her own addictions and figuring out the truth will be much more difficult than she imagined, far away from friends, family – and anyone who could help her.

Agree, I have lots of half read series and could easily sub in one or two more books at the end of the challenge if we need to fill in the ladders.

That's handy. I thought Nature may be the hardest genre to find.

And I just checked some of my Space Smut and what do you know - it's also tagged MPG Science Fiction! The gift that just keeps giving!

Wow, thanks to the friendly Captain, I was wondering how we were going to handle that. And while I'm here thanks for the excellent housekeeping and spreadsheeting from our Captains! It's awesome! 😍

Something to look forward to. My sister is reading it now also.

Well done Andy. And still I wait for ... sigh

That's great news, Keri.

Still waiting for my library copy of The Familiar. I’ll join in if I get it in time.

Hi Laila.. great to have you back. We are slaying Monsters 101-150. So plenty to choose from!

I liked it too. It was a different sort of read for me and I enjoyed the story.

Hope my pick for July is as enjoyable.

I put my order in at the library. Fingers crossed it gets here on time.

But yay, for my pick for Time Flies winning.

DQs Day 5 — ch 24-end

18. Jack and Lucy have an emotional discussion about dreams — and how giving up on dreams can be a relief as it’s one less thing to worry about. Do you think there’s any truth in this? Can giving up on a dream ever bring relief?

Dreams sometimes should remain a lovely idea especially if it's causing the dreamer angst if they do not achieve them. The lovely thing about dreams is the imagination and the hope they can inspire.

19. We finally got to meet Angie and learn her side of the story! Were you surprised by what she had to say? If you were Lucy, do you think you would be able to forgive her after hearing her side?

There are always two sides to the story, maybe three in this case. The parents sound horrible and fairly one dimensional. It's good that Lucy got to talk to her sister and move on with some sort of more positive relationship.

20. Lucy mentions that she and Jack are planning to start a nonprofit to send books to foster children, but just as she’s about to say the prospective name, she gets cut off. Why do you think the author chose to leave that out? What name do you think the author had in mind, if any?
I never even noticed this, good idea have no thoughts on the name.

21. In the end, even though the contest ended unlike how any of them predicted, everyone still got their wish. Since this book is all about wishing — is there anything you wish was different about the way the book ended, or are you happy with how it all wrapped up?

NIce positive happy ending. Enjoyed the book whilst reading it but it probably won't stick with me.
