LaurLa I pick for you

Something Wild by Patti Bergand Point of No Return (Kathleen Turner, #5) by Tiffany Snow with a bonus of Wallbanger (Cocktail, #1) by Alice Clayton"


Thanks, Chelle! I appreciate the picks. I've read the bonus but it was a fun series, I might put it in my back pocket for a reread 😊

I definitely need to read Something Wild to finish out a challenge for the year, so that's a great pick!

Thanks! I'm a librarian, so I like reading things that I wouldn't have picked myself to find books that I can recommend to others.

Michelle | 1602 comments Completion Post - Book 1

Rapture in Death (In Death, #4) by J.D. Robb

Book - Rapture in Death
Author - J.D. Robb
Date - 12/18/21
Rating - 5 Stars
Review - This is the 5th book in the In Death Series. This one was another 5 star read for me. In this book it appears that some people are self terminating, but as Eve digs deeper she finds that these people had a little help along the way with some subliminal messaging. It is up to Eve and her team to figure who is behind it and how it's being done and why. As usual I knew the who and what early on, but it's still fun getting to the end.

Hi Danielle! I have finished all three ! I love Scandal at the Salty Dog and am even more excited for the next (but I have to wait for the audio book version to be out first) and SoulBound series never fails to disappoint. Bone Houses was a three stars for me. I enjoyed the first half of the book more than the latter. It was a bit draggy in the middle and I didn't like how it kind of ended. It was also not as dark as I had expected.

A Bad Day for Sunshine (Sunshine Vicram, #1) by Darynda Jones

Book - A Bad Day for Sunshine
Author - Darynda Jones
Date - 12/18/21
rating - 5 Stars
Review - Love the start of this new series by Darynda Jones. It's going to be fun.
