Oh Jesse, you are breaking my 💔.

Miss Marcus needs to get some better fitting clothing. This is the probably at least the 5th time this or similar wording has appeared:
‘Her bosom straining to escape her bodice,….’ We get it, her clothes are tight and revealing and one wrong movement could create a mishap.

Silly me, not paying attention to things. For so long it was a limit of 5 holds for books requested outside of my library system, I checked the status of my holds today and it says that 10 is the limit now! How marvelous is that!? And I haven’t been looking for audio versions of some of these books…now really silly me🤦🏼‍♀️. This specific book is kind of dragging still.

Well…someone died. People are still grumpy. Not sure if Derrick will make an appearance in this book. And I need that situation to be sorted out on a personal level😂.

This is a grumpy bunch of folks. And I don’t mean the comical kind of grumpy. I mean the unpleasant, could possibly affect the moods of those around you kind of grumpy. Someone better either get murdered soon or become really damn delightful or I am skipping ahead!!

Most series seem to have a book that doesn’t spark my interest as much as the others. This may be that book in this series🤷‍♀️. Or perhaps it will pick up in a bit. Switching back to the other book now.

There is typically a lot of names/characters in these books. High society and all! But this time, I am getting a bit confused with the artists (dancers, singers, musicians, writers etc) this girl (me) is not taking out a notebook to keep track, even though I have one on my nightstand. I am guessing one of them is going to be the murder victim, so one less name to remember is coming up!

Okay, so I got over my previous issue. But now, well I went with large print because it was available at my local library. I also thought, my darn eyes, this could maybe make it a bit easier to read. My dad told me he thinks large print books are hard to read, and I have to say, I might agree with the man. It’s throwing me off a bit. Isn’t that kind of silly? But I am finding myself reading at a much slower pace
