Ilaine, Robin’s instructions will only work if you’re using the desktop mode. I don’t think you can do this using the app (ugh).

[Ilaine]

Ahh!! yes! I am using the app! It won't let you do anything!!!

[Jonetta]

I highly recommend you use your browser to access the site and use the desktop mode, especially if you want to post comments. There’s a lot more functionality.

I am going to use some of my weekend to find all these update threads and update them.

Finished Razorblade Tears by S.A. Cosby. Stories don't come any more powerful than this. Brilliant characterization of the proverbial odd couple to deliver a sermon and a promise. There aren't enough words to describe it - just open your heart and mind and read it. My Review

I’m reading The Highlander's Rescued Maiden by Anna Campbell, The Lairds Most Likely #9.

[Sharon]

I finished

The Hollywood Spy

I recognized the author as someone I read before when I requested the book through Netgalley. After a few chapters, I realized this was also a character that I read before. It didn't jump out at me because the books that I read were a female spy working for Churchill during WW II. Now I have to go back to this series and pick up where I left off. (It is time for me to start a series list.)

What a great story that sent me on my on research. I had no idea how strong the Nazi's, KKK, and other fanatical groups like the Silver Shirts were in Hollywood before and during WWII.

I knew about the racism and separation of black and white in venues and hotels from documentaries about Duke Ellington, Lena Horne, Cab Calloway, and other performers of that time. What I didn't know was the murders, underground spy networks, corrupt cops (although they are every where), etc. What an eye opening story!

The Author's notes sent me on a quest for some of her reference books. The older I get, the more I realize what I never knew

I finished listening to Seduction in Session by Shayla Black & Lexi Blake, The Perfect Gentlemen #2, and enjoyed the suspense but the romance, not so much. Here’s my review.

I have started an audio read of Confessions from the Quilting Circle by Maisey Yates

My grandmother was part of a quilting circle during my childhood, and before that. She quilted me a blanket for my 18th birthday with swatches of cloth from all the dress fabrics she used to make dresses for me as a little girl.
