Thank you!

Not sure where The Hanged Man came from as it's not actually in the list I posted, but it is on my TBR, so I'll take it! :D

Hey Bobbi,
I read Turbulence already in 2021. If you want to re-pick a bonus book, I would love it. If not, you can pick from the same shelf I listed

Completion Post - Book 1



Book - A Good Day for Chardonnay
Author - Darynda Jones
Date Read - 5/11/22
Rating 5 Stars
Review - It's Darynda Jones and I absolutely love her writing. It's weird, quirky, and fun. I yelled loudly when it ended on a cliffhanger because I have to wait until December before the next book comes out and we were just getting to the good part where the MC tells her love interest that she remembers what happened 15 years ago when she was kidnapped, who saved her, and the identity of her daughter's father. I hope by some miracle that it gets published earlier.

Shockingly, I finished all three books last weekend. Has to be some kind of record.

- rating 4 stars
I'd never heard of this mass killing before. The bomber was a local man on the school board. Part of his mass of explosives didn't even go off, but it still killed a tragic number of children in this small town. There were still some survivors alive when the book was written, and their recollections were chilling.

- rating 3 stars. This was a compilation of several cases and the coverage was naturally a little superficial. Not as interesting as the other two.

- this was the best of the three, 5 stars.
The author did a good job of researching the events leading up to what became the shootout at the OK corral. I doubt that any needs the spoiler alert that it didn't happen the way the movies generally depict it. The 1990 Kurt Russell film is probably the closest. It debunks a lot of the myths that surround the circumstances in Tombstone, the status and behavior of cowboys at the time, and th lives of the major players.

Finished all three books for May, but still need to write review for the last one. Here are two so far:

- 2 Stars. This was a mess in my opinion, which was different from other readers. My review lists all the reasons this story didn't work. Turned me off from this author's writing, so I'm likely not going to read anything by them again.

- 3 Stars. I liked book one better. There were too many inconsistences and odd messaging for me in this one.

- 3 Stars. The beginning was confusing because this prelude is a spin-off from another series and the author dumped too many characters and info at the start. Great character voices though, and great humor.

I thoroughly enjoyed both and . Diane, You are right about the Davis series being crazy. Wow! It is insane. I've never read anything like it! Thanks for such great picks.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[Erica, Quality Control Supervisor]

Finished and so far. Really enjoyed them both! Going to try to find my bonus book at the library today.

[Severina]

Oh, geez. Sorry, Denise! You had another book called The Hanged Man on your list and I clearly picked the one with the wrong author. I'm glad it turned out to be something you wanted to read anyway! I'll be more careful next time!
