What I have Read Lately

Here are the books I have read lately, and what I rated them on Goodreads

Keep it in the Family was the best one I read out of this group.

The rest were just kind of slow and blah for my liking

The Freida book and Strawberry Cream Cupcake Murder were the fastest reads/ listens.

Keep it in the Family was the most engaging and kept me wanting to listen

What are you thoughts on these?
