Death on Ocean Boulevard. A Mini Review.

April 26, 2021 / beckmank / 1 Comment

4/5 Stairs. If you like true crime and have never heard of the tragic (and bizarre) death of Rebecca Zahau, this is a great, well-researched book to dig deeper into the case.

Turbo Twenty-Three. Why am I still reading these?

May 26, 2017May 24, 2017 / beckmank / 5 Comments

2/5 Stairs
My husband asked me why I keep reading (listening to) these books. Honestly, I'm not sure except that this audio book was available when I was at the library.

Traveling today and I brought this book with me! I love the cover and am really looking forward to starting EVERYTHING’S FINE by @cesafras . This one seems hard to categorize - it sounds like it will be so much more than a romance; to quote the author, “what if this isn’t a love story that asks will they, but should they?” I can’t wait to dive in!
I love ordering from @summershirtproject ! I have a bunch of different Be Kind to Everyone t-shirts in my closet, I’m so happy to add this nice soft, lightweight hoodie to my collection. I ordered a surprise pack and love the color I got! Thanks Jordyn! ❤️ #bekindtoeveryone #summershirtproject #jordynssummershirtproject
Not book related! BUT…My husband and I were so lucky to be at Ball Arena last night to watch the Denver Nuggets win Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals! I don’t post a lot of personal stuff here, but I had to share with you all.
The description of Magpie by @elizabday sounds so good…and it’s on sale this month!
