Always Me

On Friday's I take part in two weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by  Freda's Voice , and Book Beginnings, hosted by  Rose City Reader .  For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader.    Happy Friday everyone!

    Happy Wednesday everyone and welcome to my sixth 2022 Popsugar Reading Challenge update with mini  reviews!  In June, I completed 6 books for this month for a total of 38 of 50 books for the  2022 Popsugar Reading Challenge .  Keep reading to see my thoughts on the books I read in June: ❋   ❋  ❋   ❋  Purple Noon   (1960, aka Plein Soleil ), starring Alain Delon is one of my favorite impossibly cool movies and I'm so glad I decided to read the book that it's based on,  The Talented Mr. Ripley  ( Ripley  #1) by Patricia Highsmith . I'm so glad I that this is the first book in a series so I can keep following Tom Ripley's adventures in the future. I might even have to watch the Matt Damon movie adaptation soon.  Honestly, I think I prefer Purple Noon a little more - if only it was allowed to end in the same way as the book.  Now that would have been perfect.  Ripley is just so dang cool and likeable, ...
