Finished “You Can Kill” and I Reached my Reading Goal

I just realized that finishing the last book reached my reading goal of 30 books! Last year it took me until December to reach that same goal. Then again, I don’t think I was on as many cruises, either. Guess that makes a difference.

Here’s what I read since my last update:

Book 30

Dates read: October 13-22, 2026
Title: You Can Kill
Year of publication: 2024
Author: Rebecca Zanetti
Genre: Romantic suspense/thriller
Series: Laurel Snow #4

Blurb from Book: A string of brutal murders is leaving a grisly trail across the Pacific Northwest—and drawing rising star FBI profiler Laurel Snow back into a treacherous case and a twisted personal drama she can’t escape…
    The first body is brutally frozen encased in ice next to an unforgiving river. As the victims multiply, a pattern emerges—each is related to past cases investigated by Laurel Snow, with the assist of Huck Rivers, Washington Fish and Wildlife captain. When friends and loved ones are targeted, things become even more chillingly personal.
    As Laurel and Huck team up again to navigate the gruesome and increasingly bizarre killings, they must also keep a safe distance from Laurel’s half-sister, Abigail, a dangerously clever sociopath. Ever since their father reappeared in town, Abigail has been convinced she must protect Laurel from his malignant narcissism—a scourge she’s sure they’ve both inherited. Huck is not spared either as a shocking development in the case touches his own life.
    With the murders, and the suspects, multiplying around them, and the lives of everyone in their orbit at stake, only Laurel’s sharp analytic skills, Huck’s deep gut instincts, and their growing bond, will enable them to face their inner demons and external threats—before they’re next on a elusive killer’s hit list…
Recommend: Yes
My thoughts:
I like her romantic suspense series, whether or not there’s some paranormal stuff involved. This one does not have paranormal stuff, though, so if that matters to you… Anyway, lots of suspense in this one. Certainly kept me turning the pages.

I am trying (TRYING) to straighten up this mess that is our house. I got too much stuff all over the place and I think a lot of it can probably be tossed in the trash. But I always manage to find a way NOT to tackle a mess. Hubby helped a little bit, though. He bought a huge stainless-steel magnet holder that is now secured to the wall. My refrigerator was full and all the magnets we bought on the last three trips were just piling up on the dining room table. The table is now clear of magnets and I got them put up now. So I am working on straightening up. Just one little project at a time. Haha!

Why do I pile stuff on top of stuff anyway? I always think I will need something later, but later never happens. Does this happen to you?

Happy Reading!
