Books and sqaures #86-95. . . I'm FINALLY caught up! . . I sorted my Goodreads TBR list backwards and found books I added years ago and have been chipping away at that list. I've stumbled on some AMAZING ones. . . Of this lot I would say The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was my favorite. It's so 🤯🤯🤯🤯. Such an incredible story! And raises some serious ethical questions. . . Last Night at rhe Telegraph Club was incredible. . . Same with The Second Mrs. Astor. . . I seemed to have stumbled on a string of highly religious themes in Part of My World, God Bless This Mess, and Waging Peace. Books that have massive religious undertones tend to make me very uncomfortable, but I also appreciate being forced out of my comfort zone. I loved Waging Peace. The goodreads reviews had varying opinions, but all in all, I really loved it. . . #hooksnbooks #crochettime #crochetaddict #crochet #crochetlife #reading #readmorebooks #readingismyjam #bookstagram #bookshoporg #booklover #crochetandreading #booktracking #2024bookgrannyblanket #bookishthings #bookblanket #audiobooks #grannysquareblanket #grannysquares

🧷 The Bodyguard By: Katherine Center (Read for my Switch It Up Genre Reading Challenge: May’s Genre is Romance with a Bodyguard Trope) What a doozy! This book was a really great read. I have to say that the characters were very likable and the story was a fast read that kept me laughing as well as a little teary eyed. Also, I love that this book took place in the Houston area, my home. 💗 The MFC, Hannah, is constantly called ordinary or plain in this book and at times I just felt so bad for her because she was going through so much at one time. Life threw her a major curveball that she repressed and she really needed to find a bit of peace. And she was not ‘ordinary’! She had so many great qualities and was super smart and strong. Jack, the MMC, came in like a storm, handsome beyond reason, and with a little emotional trauma of his own. He really needed a way to look at the beauty in life and to find laughter and happiness and Hannah helps him find it. Just like he helps her find a way to release her emotions and feeling and ‘be real’ with someone. He has a secret crush on her that is so obvious. Together they are so cute and real with each other. Now, the spice level doesn’t go beyond a few great kisses, but that is ok. This book is built on emotions, family ties and redemption. I definitely liked it and I definitely recommend. It’s worth the read. However, my only complaint is that it is in one POV and that is of Hannah. I still loved it, but I would’ve liked to have had dual POV. 🧷This is New Author #29 for 2024. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

🌀🌪️ No Way Out (Fall of Houston Series Book 1) By: T. L. Payne This book definitely sets this series up for a wild ride! There are so many aspects and storylines to follow that I’m curious to see how they all intertwine. Will and his son Cayden, are the main characters of the book and they are preparing to evacuate from a hurricane that is supposed to make landfall in Houston. Being a native Htown and surrounding area resident, I had to check this out. There are so many details that are believable and so many things here in the book that I have personally witnessed or participated in when preparing for a hurricane, so I could relate to that part of the story and I don’t think it disappoints in how it is written. The evac process during Rita was brutal and the storm and surge from Ike was intense. All of the flooding that is talked about is real for the Houston area, so all of those details were pretty spot on. In regards to the EMP that happens in the book, it takes place at the most inconvenient time because people are trying to evacuate and the roads are congested and no one is prepared for the loss of power, services, running vehicles or anything. The intro of an FBI agent who is in league with an informant who works for the Chinese Embassy may have information about the EMP attack. There are serval POVs and storylines. Aside from Will and his son, the book also has a dual timeline with Will’s sister Savanah in Louisiana. She is facing her own set of challenges with no electricity and people in the Parish already trying to take things from others. I’m curious to see where this story goes and will give the second book a try. I’m not sure if I’m overall attached to the characters yet, but I am curious to see their next move and how they handle the next step in survival. Plus, I’m really curious about how all of the others people around them will act once the hurricane hits and what the aftermath of that will be. 🌀This is New Author #28 for 2024. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

🎬 Ant and Dec 🎬 3️⃣0️⃣ years I picked this up as I knew it was going to hit with the nostalgia and it absolutely did🥹…I’ve literally grew up with the famous Geordie duo, right back to where it all began on Byker Grove. (That’s right I’m an 80’s/ 90’s kid!) This for me was a real trip down memory lane, and a flashback of the early 90’s ( just think sm:tv/ cd:uk / Pop idol!!) The narrative style is classic Ant and Dec banter mirroring exactly how they are on the telly, with their typical sarcastic humour remaining apparent throughout, and to easily decipher between the two, Ant is written in italic font whilst Dec is written in bold font. A very easy, light and funny read and it actually felt mostly like I was just sat having a cup of tea and a chat with them (I realise that sounds daft 😆 but if you read this you’ll know what I mean!) The chapters are in chronological order covering all of their TV performances - Pop Idol/I’m a Celeb/BGT…to name a few. They also touch on the DNA documentary they televised a few years ago, allowing a more intimate perspective to Ant&Dec as we get an insight into a more personal journey, a great funny read gets the 👍🏻 from me! Happy Thursday bookers ✌🏻 #herewebookinggo #antanddec #antanddec30years #onceuponatyne #onceuponatynebook #90snostalgia #bykergroveyeah #90skid #antanddecbook #whatiread #justreadthis #wheniread #bookstagram #readingismyjam #booksarebetter

If there is ever a subject or genre that I am going to read about, it would be #folkhorror. For some reason it really is my jam. Maybe it lurks in the deep recesses of my psyche thanks to those choice #Hammerhorror films that were on late at night when I was around 12. Alongside #Rebecca and #TheHaunting, which we all know must have fed my other obsessions with #ShirleyJackson and #DaphneDuMaurier. That late night, sneaky watching in my bedroom really is my wellspring of developing self encapsulated!! So here is my current, glorious and atmospheric read #LostInTheGarden basking in the burgeoning #midsummer sun. Lurking like a nasty predator in the shadows awaiting the moment your guard is down to pounce. Ominous, unreal shades and scenes. Beautiful at first glance but deadly if you open your eyes and look a little deeper. Looks like @deadinkbooks have done it again! #bookstagram #horrorbookstagram #readingismyjam #alwaysreading #escapeintoabook #chillingreads #bibliophile #booknerd

Books and squares #75-84 of 2024. . . And new May pattern! . . I'm SO behind in sharing my books and squares. . . Remarkably Bright Creatures was one of the sweetest dang books ever! When I first started it I was so distracted that I got about 20% through the audiobook and realized I had NO idea what was happening. I had heard such great things about it so I took a chance and started over and I'm SO glad I did. It. Is. Amazing. . . When in Rome has me in tears at one point. I could feel the characters' angst in my soul and it was so sad. But ended predictably and perfectly. . . The Simple Wild series was amazing. I blew through all 4 of them in 3 days. I loved them so much. . . There's SO much to unpack about Credence. I have SO many thoughts 😂😂 . . #hooksnbooks #crochettime #crochetaddict #crochet #crochetlife #reading #readmorebooks #readingismyjam #bookstagram #bookshoporg #booklover #crochetandreading #booktracking #2024bookgrannyblanket #bookishthings #bookblanket #audiobooks #grannysquareblanket #grannysquares #romancebooks #lovetoread

🪴 While listening to Audio books, if not cleaning or folding laundry, then I have to do something creative. So, I painted this just to try out some cheaper canvases I bought on sale at hobby Lobby and finished House of Enchanted Rooms while doing so. 💖 I’m working on getting painting ideas for me and my daughter to try and have a semi tablet free Summer and be more creative instead of plugged in. I have lots of ideas from things to paint and craft and have looked into even downloading a few Magic Treehouse Books on Audible that I know she likes. 💗🏠 ❓Does anyone have any good reviews from their children in regards to audiobooks? ❓ I’m really looking for something that is maybe at least an hour long but no more than 3 hours long. Something aside from Magic Treehouse that she might like. Help! 🥹🤩. Any recommendation is much appreciated. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookish #audiobooks #crafting #paintingisfun #bookrecommendations #readingismyjam

🏠 Keeper of Enchanted Rooms (Whimbrel House Book 1) By: Charlie N. Holmberg What a delightful book! I am counting this as my second Audio book for the year and I enjoyed listening to this very much. I have to admit that I have had this on my TBR for quite a while and I am almost disappointed that I waited so long. The entire story is intriguing in regards to the potential for magic in people and in places like homes. I very much liked the detail that was given in how the house moved and shifted with the personality of the person who resided in it as a spirit. It made for a fun addition to the story. All of the characters were well written and I even enjoyed the way the MCs tiptoed around each other before finally giving in to the fact that they liked one another. I should mention that this is written in multiple POVs and that it really gives you a great look into what several main characters are thinking. I think I would enjoy listening to more of this story and the characters and will potentially get to the other books soon. This is a definite recommendation from me. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

🪴 Warrior (Galactic Gladiators Book 2) By: Anna Hackett The second book in this series is just as action packed as the first one and is a really quick read. The MMC, Thorin, feels like he is unworthy of anything more than just being a Gladiator, especially after he was abandoned by his family. He lives his life in the arena, winning bout after bout and then spends his nights with different women. The thought of settling with someone is something he yearns for but feels unworthy of. However, Regan, the MFC, continues to catch his eye and his interest. She is a survivor and learns how to embrace her independence after being held captive. Now that she is free, she wants to live and love and she has her sights on Thorin. They come together through need but while it should be all settled, Thorin has his personal demons to work out before he can accept their relationship. Regan feels love for him right from the start and proves they work magically together. Obviously, there is a great HEA and everything works out. This book was a great read and I have to admit I am attached to the story and world and can’t wait to see what happens with more characters. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

💎 The Will and The Wilds By: Charlie N. Holmberg I really enjoyed this book. This was my first audio book for the year and I am glad I decided to listen to this one becuase I felt completely immersed in the story. This is a great Fanstay story and there is a budding romance in it, but it is a Slow Burn and for those wondering, no spice but some kissing and leaves you breathless, or in Enna’s case, steals her soul. However, does the soul stealing kiss change the way Maekallus feels about her? I think yes! I really enjoyed the feel of the storyline and the personalities of the characters and their interactions. The different details to describe the creatures was fascinating to listen to. There were a few times where I felt that Enna needed to reevaluate her prejudices against different creatures especially when she dealt with others having prejudices against her. I think over time she began to realize that and learned to see things in a new way. In the end, both main characters learned to see the gentleness and tolerance and love in one another and both sacrificed something in order to save one another. I actually shed a few small tears at the end and my heart was glad for the outcome. This was a great story and I definitely recommend. I wouldn’t mind listening to another story by this author. 💎This was my 27th New Author for 2024. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

⭐️ Happy Monday All! I hope you have all had a wonderful weekend and for those who celebrated Mother’s Day, I hope you had a marvelous time. I ended up having a great weekend and went to a Baseball Game, shopping for art supplies and gift items for my daughter’s teacher. I ended up adding a few books for my Book Cart, even though I’m supposed to be on a Book Buying Ban to read my TBR, but does it really count if it’s for Mothers Day? 🤩 The first pic are the 2 books I kept for myself, the others are for the teacher. 😊 I have a few reviews to get out this week and I am currently reading “No Way Out” by T.L. Payne and I am listening to “Keeper of Enchanted Rooms” by Charlie N. Holmberg. I enjoyed her other book I listened too and since I was trying to finish the paint By Numbers, I started another by her to keep it going. (The other review will be posted soon.) And as you can see….I finished my First Ever Paint by Number. It was fun and yes a bit tedious and I had to use a magnifying glass to see what I was doing sometimes but over all I enjoyed it. So much that I bought a second one on my weekend shopping trip. 🤘 Can’t wait to see what everyone gets to this week. 💗 #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #mondaymood #mondaymotivation #readingismyjam

🗡️ Gladiator (Galactic Gladiators Book 1) By: Anna Hackett “You fill me up, Harper. You fill up all the dark, empty spaces.” I have to admit that this was the first book I have read by this author and I really enjoyed this story. There are several Gladiator Tropes for Sci-fi Romance and I have tried several and never really felt engrossed in them, but this one was different. I have to admit that I think it was different because the MFC, Harper, was amazing and strong and could fight alongside the seasoned gladiators and I loved that. I know it isn’t everyone’s thing, but I prefer a strong female and this helps set up for the next characters in the following books who might not be as strong. She shows herself as a great protector and leader. For the MMC, Raiden, he was obviously a great leader on his own and while I feel like his character wasn’t overly showcased, he still made a great impact. He went after Harper and knew from the start that he was attracted to her. There were a few parts where he tried to deny his feelings and instincts but in the end, he couldn’t keep up the denial and began to enjoy himself with her and develop feelings. They fought together side by side beautifully and he enjoyed her as a strong woman. I really liked this book and plan to read a few more in this series. I’m really interested in the next couple. 🗡️This was my 26th New Author for 2024. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

Starting book #31 of 2024! Even though I am still not okay with the ending of the last book I read! The last book I read ( The Idea of You) is on the second photo. I watched the movie Friday night, immediately started to read the book after the movie because I wanted more of the two lead characters, Solène and Hayes. The book was great and did not disappoint, except for the ending. I liked the movie ending much more!! I read it in a day and a half, it is a bit 🌶️🌶️, but I would give it a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75 for a star rating. If you liked a boy band in your youth and you are in your fourties’ now and don’t mind a little 🌶️🌶️ you’ll probably love this book too! Now I’m back to Magnolia Parks, which will probably rip out my heart and stomp on it. #readingismyjam #booksthattearyourheartout

🪱 The Troop By: Nick Cutter Oh man, was this a gross train wreck that I could not look away from? Yes, yes it was! I was honestly surprised by how much this book simultaneously grossed me out and kept my attention to make me want to finish. I did not think I would enjoy this but the way it was written with story and then interviews and news articles was really engaging. It helped set the scene more for why there was this outbreak and the mind behind the mad scientist. I also really liked all of th different personalities of the characters. The boys really showed levels of logic and strength, even though one was clearly on the path to becoming a serial killer. One last thing, the book also highlight the personality and mind of the worm! Eew! I really enjoyed reading the shift in thought process from the host to the worm. It was like reading a Pod People situation and surprisingly I loved it. For as gross as this book is, I would totally recommend. 🪱This was my 25th New Author for 2024. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookreview #bookreview2024 #bookworm #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam #worththeread

🍄 Happy Monday All! I hope you have had a wonderful weekend and a great week ahead of you. I haven’t posted a selfie in a while so…Hello! 🤘🤩 I am attempting my first Audio Book for the year. “The Will and The Wilds” by Charlie N. Holmberg. It seems like a nice little fantasy to break things up a bit. Honestly, I decided to start a Paint By Numbers and it seems like it would pair very well with an Audio Book. So, there you go. 🤩 I also have a few reviews to put out this week and while I am listening to this book, I am reading the Galactic Gladiator series by Anna Hackett. I have to say I am enjoying it and surprise! but it is my first ever reads by Anna Hackett. I like her style and I am really enjoying the characters. 🫶 What are you all up to this week? I can’t wait and see. 🎨👩‍🎨 Question: Have you ever attempted a Paint By Numbers? This is my first and well, it’s quite tedious isn’t it? But I’m on a role now and am making an attempt to see it through to the end! And yes, right now it’s upside down 🙃, but maybe when I get a little further I will post it again. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #booknerd #mondaymood #audiobook #kindleunlimited #bookrecommendations #readinggoals #readingismyjam

🚨 🚨Spotlight🚨 Posting my choice for May for my Genre Challenge. 🚨May’s genre is Romance with a Bodyguard Trope and I am choosing to read “The Bodyguard” by Katherine Center. I hope this switches things up for me a bit. 🚨Synopsis in Amazon is as follows: She’s got his back. Hannah Brooks looks more like a kindergarten teacher than somebody who could kill you with a wine bottle opener. Or a ballpoint pen. Or a dinner napkin. But the truth is, she’s an Executive Protection Agent (aka “bodyguard”), and she just got hired to protect superstar actor Jack Stapleton from his middle-aged, corgi-breeding stalker. He’s got her heart. Jack Stapleton’s a household name—captured by paparazzi on beaches the world over, famous for, among other things, rising out of the waves in all manner of clingy board shorts and glistening like a Roman deity. But a few years back, in the wake of a family tragedy, he dropped from the public eye and went off the grid. They’ve got a secret. When Jack’s mom gets sick, he goes home to the family’s Texas ranch to help out. Only one catch: He doesn’t want his family to know about his stalker. Or the bodyguard thing. And so Hannah—against her will and her better judgment—finds herself pretending to be Jack’s girlfriend as a cover. Even though her ex, says no one will believe it. What could possibly go wrong? Hannah hardly believes it, herself. But the more time she spends with Jack, the more real it all starts to seem. And there lies the heartbreak. Because it’s easy for Hannah to protect Jack. But protecting her own, long-neglected heart? That’s the hardest thing she’s ever done. 🚨 #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #maytbr #readinggoals #readingchallenge #kindleunlimited #readingismyjam

Freya has kept her magic hidden her entire life until one day she is forced to expose her well kept secret. She is then used as pawn by a leader that wants power. The jarl’s son, Bjorn is forced to protect her against enemies that want to capture Freya and use her power. Freya is learning to control her power and harness her true strength. But, her greatest challenge is fighting her growing feelings and attraction to Bjorn. She begins to think that everyone is plotting against her and she doesn’t know who to trust. This was an enjoyable read! It was action packed, a thrill. Great tension between characters and I loved seeing Freya grow her confidence and strength. Be warned, this one ends on a ciffhanger!! Read if you like: ▫️ secrets and mystery ▫️ forbidden romance ▫️ action and adventure ▫️ easy to follow world building QOTD: What are your weekend plans? #bookstareviewweek #bookreview #bookstagram #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #readingismyjam #BOTM #bookstagrammer

🌺 🌺May 2024 TBR Hopefuls🌺 🌺This month for my Genre Challenge, the genre is Romance with a bodyguard trope. I saw this books released months ago and knew that it would be the one I chose. The book that I am talking about is, “The Bodyguard” by Katherine Center. Bi don’t usually go for contemporary so this will be something different. (And yes, I am just skipping over April since I honestly just want to move on.) 🌺For my 2nd personal challenge, I am also going to read a book that has a title with the words the same first letter of my first name. I have a few posted and we will just see what I get to. Here’s to W! 🌺Lastly, I really need to knock off some of these Post Apocalyptic books I have in my library and I am going to start with “No Way Out” by T.L. Payne. 🌺To add another note, I have never read any of these authors so they will all be new to me and that is exciting. Can’t wait to see what everyone else comes up with for this month. #wendysworldofescape #bookstagram #bookish #bookworm #bookrecommendations #maytbr #mayreads #readingismyjam

Books and squares #65-74. . . . The Paris Daughter was probably my favorite of this lot. It revisits a town and some characters from The Book of Lost Names (top of my 2024 list) and it was incredible. The Book ha my jaw hitting the floor! . . The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley was also a favorite. It was light and funny and refreshing. . . #hooksbooksandwickless #booklover #bookishthings #reading #audiobooks #readmorebooks #readingismyjam #bookstagram #bookshoporg #grannysquareblanket #grannysquares #romancebooks #lovetoread #2024bookgrannyblanket #2024bookblanket #
