With more than 7 hours on a plane for a business trip this week, I couldn't take any chances with my reading material. I wanted to make sure I had a REALLY GOOD book, so I went with a re-read of one of my recent favorites: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab. It has so much to love: romance, adventure, fantasy, a nasty villain, a feisty heroine with circumstances definitely not in her favor. It's wonderful. @bookstodon

What a happy coincidence that pulled Las Vegas Noir from my TBR for me to read. I'm off to Las Vegas in a couple of weeks for work. The city - or at least the part we see the most - is constantly reinventing itself, so the represented in this book is very different from the one that exists now, 15 years after it was published.

It's been a while since I read a short story collection. These are fun. @bookstodon

How One Woman Narrowly Avoided a Bad Deal With a “We Buy Ugly Houses” Franchise

Royanne McNair believed she had canceled her contract with a “We Buy Ugly Houses” franchise, so she pursued another offer on her house — this one for $100,000 more.

Then an anonymous envelope froze the deal.
