Recently finished reading: Her Dying Secret by Lisa Regan.
This is the 20th Detective Josie Quinn mystery and it's another good one! I really like Josie and her husband, Noah, who is also a police detective. And their cases always have a compelling twist. These books read fast, and while I'd always recommend starting with the first one, Vanishing Girls, Regan does an excellent job of giving you all the information you need to enjoy this one, even if you haven't read any of the others. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Recently bought this fun "Reading is my Superpower" tee shirt:
(It makes me happy.)
And last, but not least, my favorite glad things from last month:
- A fun afternoon playing Tobago with my sister.
- African violets blooming on my windowsill.
- Birding on Antelope Island (a state park in Utah on the Great Salt Lake) with my niece and nephew where we saw among other birds Western Meadowlarks, Horned Larks, Burrowing Owls, two Great-Horned Owls guarding their babies, lots of Avocets, a Kestrel...and a porcupine sleeping high up in a Cottonwood tree. It was the cutest thing ever!
- Celebrating my neighbor's 95th birthday.
- The delicious scent of lilacs outside my window.
- Lunch with a friend. (Pera Pizza and a Strawberry Italian Float at Pizzeria Limone--YUM!)
- Observing Easter and remembering with deep gratitude and joy the atonement and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I seriously need a 'reading' T shirt. I don't have one so must remedy that! I love your 'glad things' lists... this time it's the birding trip to Antelope Island that I love the sound of. I'm glad you had a good Easter. :-)
ReplyDeleteBookish tees are a must! I have 3 or 4 now and I love them. :D
DeleteI love the shirt! Glad you got to have so many good experiences in April -- wishing you a very happy start to May!
ReplyDeleteThank you! May is one of my favorite months. I love that there's sunshine ,but the days aren't hot yet; and school is wrapping up and summer is on the horizon. :D
DeleteI do love the tee shirt and I definitely need one like it! You have lots if good things going on in your life. I especially envy you that birding trip. What a treat to see baby owlets!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great tee. And I loved seeing the owls. Any day with owls in it is a good day! :D
DeleteReally enjoyed your 'glad' things. Nice to see those. Also that T-shirt is great. I keep meaning to try Josie Quinn series. So many series, but I do love them. I'm just at the beginning of Kelley Armstrong's Rip Through Time series and am on book #4 of Julia Spencer-Fleming's mystery series set in upstate New York. Having fun! Hope May is fun for you too!
ReplyDeleteI need to get caught up on Armstrong's Rip Through Time this summer! It's so easy to fall behind in a series, isn't it? And if you ever get the chance to try them, I think you'd like the Josie Quinn mysteries. :D
DeleteAll good things to be glad about. I love the shirt.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun? I love wearing it. :D
DeleteLots to be happy about! My front flowerbed is about to be in full bloom, and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI love spring flowers! I only wish they lasted a little longer. But they're always so beautiful. :D
DeleteI love all the things that made you happy.

:D Thank you.
DeleteI love that shirt! The Josie Quinn series sounds really good. It's always nice to see a series going strong with 20 books! :D
ReplyDeleteIt is good ...except when you fall really far behind in it. It's hard to catch up on those long-running series. At least it is for me. ;D
DeleteThat is a fun T-shirt!
ReplyDeleteI do love it! :D
DeleteLilacs smell heavenly! I love that t-shirt and the sound of your birding adventure! :)
ReplyDeleteLilacs are my favorite smelling flower, with lilies of the valley a close second.
DeleteLark, Love your list :) And that shirt is so cute! Wishing you a lovely May. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I hope you are doing well. :D
DeleteThat detective series sounds good especially since you're enjoying it so many books into the series.
ReplyDeleteFun tee! I love coming across cool reading-themed ones.
Antelope Island! My folks live just north of it and I've been out there a few times. So cute all the wildlife you encountered. And, yes, it was fab worshiping and celebrating Easter with family for me, too.
Antelope Island is a lot of fun. I love that there are so many wonderful birds there. And who knew that porcupines sleep in trees? :D
DeleteSounds like a great month! That shirt is awesome BTW.
ReplyDeleteI really like it. It makes me smile every time I put it on.
DeleteI like that t-shirt and the color is so nice.. Nature can really make us happy and of course pizza is always great.
ReplyDeleteI do love pizza. And seeing owls and a porcupine in a tree totally made my day. :D
DeleteI am so jealous you got to see a pair of great horned owls and their owlets!
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome!
DeleteI love the shirt and the smell of lilacs! Lunch sounds fantastic - fun and delicious food. Happy May!
ReplyDelete:D Thank you so much.
DeleteLilacs and daffodils are my favorite flowers, and color me a bit envious of your birding on Antelope Island!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good birding day! I love seeing Burrowing Owls and it was my first time seeing a Horned Lark. :D
DeleteSpending time with others and in nature are both great experiences. I love the shirt, Lark. I hope May gives you as many great experiences.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm hoping to get out in nature more this month...before it gets too hot.
DeleteThat shirt is adorable! Hope you have an awesome week!
ReplyDelete:D Thank you so much.
DeleteYour list of favorite things this past month made me smile. :-) Your birding excursion on Antelope Island with your nephew and niece sounds like such fun! I hope you have a good week and month of May, Lark!
ReplyDeleteThank you! :D
