About

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.

About a week ago I was a lucky winner in a contest from fabulous author @christinamac79 and it arrived today! I am now the proud owner of a Kindle Fire 7 (great size to fit in my purse and take books on the go), a SIGNED copy of Ms. McDonalds’s just-released book “Behind Every Lie,” and signed bookplates and a bookmark. If you aren’t familiar with her work, she writes suspenseful domestic thrillers, give her books a try. I also recommend following her on social media, she is constantly recommending great reads and is very active with her readers. Thank you so much Christina! #bookstagram #bookcover #2020bookrelease #domesticthriller
My husband and I watched “The Irishman” last weekend. Of course 20 minutes into the film I was googling to see if this is based on a true story. Turns out, not only was Frank Sheeran a real guy, he’s (supposedly) got the answers to one of the biggest mysteries of the 20th century - what happened to Jimmy Hoffa? I ordered the book the next day. (Originally titled “I Heard You Paint Houses.”) Looking forward to seeing how the book compares to the movie. #bookstagram #bookcover #mafia #jimmyhoffa #franksheeran #theirishman #whatareyoureading #truecrime
4/5 Stairs to Home Work, a memoir by the lovely Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. Ms. Andrews gives a quick recap of her childhood (apparently she wrote about that in a previous book), and then dives right in to her time in Hollywood, basically covering the 1960s and 1970s. I listened to this one, as it’s narrated by Ms. Andrews herself. It’s an enjoyable read, especially for fans of film. She also dives into her personal life, but not too deep. There are quite a few journal entries which give you a perspective of how she felt in certain moments of time, which was interesting. The book itself has beautiful pictures from her private collection. A fun memoir to read and a beautiful book to add to your collection. #bookstagram #memoir #bookcovers #bookcover #whatareyoureading #musicaltheatre #hollywood
Friday we had no school due to snow and we started a new 1000 piece Nancy Drew puzzle. My kids abandoned me, but Scout has taken up his post. We’ll be done in no time. #snowday #nancydrew #nancydrewbooks #nancydrewpuzzle #jigsawpuzzle #weekendfun
