January 2025 Book #11
This retelling for me is poor integrating and even boring. I‘m not the target audience but didn‘t like it. However, the illustrations are beautiful made by the author. 2⭐️

I picked this up on a whim (and then actually bought it again!), and I wish I had read it immediately. It's a wonderful packet of three stories, with the same main characters and some wonderful sass and adventure, set in a time where neither sass or adventure were things ladies were wanted to have. Awaiting book 2 with bated breath! #20-205

This was better than the last one

That was a fun read! I‘m not usually a fan of reality TV, but this exceeded my expectations. I just wish the villain had gotten the brutal downfall he deserved. It gets pretty spicy, but nothing degrading or dark. Book #20 in 2025

Yay for my February #readyourkindle choices. I‘ve had some of these on my kindle for a while. The #20 choice was a NetGalley read so I chose the one that is due soonest. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks

Impossible to resist a “greatest books” list.

I‘ve read 56 of the 100 books which puts me, at the moment, at #20 on the list.

Favorites include the tagged book—love it and The Fellowship of the Rings—as well as I Want My Hat Back (love Klassen), American Born Chinese, and The Graveyard Book.

Books I would add: The Lightning Thief (first Percy Jackson), Stuck (Oliver Jeffers), & The Monster at the End of this Book.

Book 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️
