Whoa, it’s been a month since my last musings. What can I say? It was the end of the school year, both kids were writing exams, work was piling up, and I was trying to plan our summer break.

We did get away last week for a camping trip to British Columbia. It was amazing. The weather wasn’t the best, but we had time away from screens and social media and talked and played games, went on hikes, and explored the area.

We had a surprise visit from a deer in our backyard when we came back. Usually we only see them in winter, so this was a strange encounter. And later in the afternoon I discovered the gate at the back of our yard was open and the mommy deer had brought her baby too. They are so cute, but they ate all my flowers and I really hope they will recover.

Plans for our summer break are also shaping up well. We are looking forward to family visiting soon and another camping trip.

And now on to the reading part of the post. I did get a lot of reading done, but not so many reviews, unfortunately.

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Carys and Tristan are on opposite sides of the feud between their families. When Carys suggests an illicit short-term affair, Tristan jumps at the chance.

Read My Review

⭐⭐⭐ Christian is cold, distant, calculating, and doesn’t mind getting his hands dirty. No one could touch him, until shy Stella stormed his walls.

Read My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tae is struggling to make ends meet when she reconnects with Riggs and their renewed friendship soon becomes so much more. Intrigue, betrayal, and great chemistry.

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐ In 2019 detective Mallory unexpectedly switches bodies with housemaid Catriona in 1869. It started out slow, but the tension kept building and I couldn't put it down.

Goodreads

⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very emotional tale of Bree, who has to figure out her future now that her kids are all grown, come to terms with the death of her beloved aunt, help her children deal with some facts about their father, and maybe fall in love as well.
