I just finished reading Wonderland by Jennifer Hillier . Really liked it. Halfway through Beckoning Souls (Beckoning Souls, #1) by J.R. Tate . Going to start an audiobook Life or Death by Michael Robotham while I make a Lego Duplo marble run for B. hehe. I made one variation yesterday and he loved it. He played with it for awhile and then destroyed it with his excavator. 🤣 He's napping now so I'm going to make another variation.

I finished Beckoning Souls (Beckoning Souls, #1) by J.R. Tate yesterday. Got almost halfway through Life or Death by Michael Robotham . Needing to finish it today because 1. it's not very good and 2. I have something else I'd rather listen to! lol. Made a little progress in The Untold Story (The Invisible Library, #8) by Genevieve Cogman The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer yesterday. Hope everyone had a nice Easter or a nice Sunday! Sick of the spotty weather! Only a nice day here or there so far. 😭

Pamela Dolezal | 1 comments I’ve finished through April 7th:

The Name of the Rose, Umberto Eco
Good People, P Sabit
Lake Effect, Sweeney
The Daughter of time, Josephine Tey
Everything is Tuberculosis, John Green
the Awakening, Kate Chopin
Under the Whispering Door, T J Klune
God of the Woods, Liz Moore (2nd reading)
Heartwood, A Gaige
Dungeon Crawler Carl,
I’m Glad my Mom Died, J McCurdy

I enjoyed all of them , except for the last one, which I found Whitney (note that she really hasn’t accomplished that much since her mom died - apparently she needed a push - I know - I’m the only person on earth who didn’t enjoy it)!

But the rest were a very happy reading streak. I’m hopeful for May.
