The Art of Vanishing

3/5 Stairs. The characters and setting were excellent, but for me the mystery on this second outing fell flat.

Almost 30 years ago I read my first Nancy Drew book, "The Hidden Staircase." I've had a love affair with mysteries ever since. -Kristi.

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!
