January 2025 Book #10
I know this one didn‘t work for everyone but it worked for me. I liked the idea of a novel within a novel. The drama in the novel aunt Addie wrote was so silly, maybe too long but I lol. It was like watching the movie Clue but without a murder. When you thought you had the answer another ridiculous situation appeared. It was fun but the ending also has nostalgic, sad moments for aunt Addie. I like these covers😍 3⭐️

LeahBergen Lovely review! I enjoyed it, too. 😊 2d
Ruthiella I‘m so glad you liked it! 😃 2d

I remember this series on PBS. 2018 seems like a lifetime ago! Final score was 42/100, and yes I‘m counting the whole series no matter how many books I read! These, however, are whole series I read.
1. The Giver
2. Lord of the Rings
3. Harry Potter
4. Hunger Games
5. Hitchhiker‘s Guide to the Galaxy

dabbe @Ruthiella It's like movies fell off the face of the earth when the 2000s started for me as well! What was your one? Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩😍🤩 3w
Bookwormjillk 12% I guess I‘m just not a movie person. Loved The Martian though. 3w
Librarybelle Just 17 for me—I‘m really not up to date with modern films. Loved Barbie! And, I really liked Moneyball! 3w
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! 🥰💛🏷 3w
BooksandCoffee4Me 23 for me. My son is a movie reviewer so those that I‘ve seen are ones that he, my other son, and my husband wanted to see. Roma was amazing, as was Tree of Life. 3w
BooksandCoffee4Me Tidbits: I won‘t see Gravity because I have a very real, irrational fear of dying in space after seeing Spacecowboys. And if interested in some unique movie reviews: https://boxd.it/5npPF (edited) 3w
shortsarahrose 41! - hard to pick favorites, but some include True Grit, Zero Dark Thirty, Phantom Thread, and Little Women. In an apparently unpopular opinion, I absolutely hated Tree of Life. 3w
TheLudicReader 🤣 16! 3w
AnnCrystal Thanks for the tag 🤩🎬💝. 3w
melissajayne 61

Faves: Theory of Everything, Jojo Rabbit, Barbie

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 21 films. Hugo ❤️ a fave. The bright colors, the story, Jude Law, and early film. Mad Max Fury Road - fun popcorn movie with a flame-throwing guitar! Call Me By Your Name - made me wistful for early 80's Italy. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood - made me wistful for the golden age of film. Black Panther - damn good fun! The Holdovers - quiet but so good. The Banshees of Inisherin - love Colin Farrell! Dune - took a gummy & could taste the dry.

dabbe @Amiable You kicked my sorry butt! Thanks for playing and sharing! 💙💚💙 3w
SaunteringVaguelyDownwards 25 for me! I like so many of these in different ways - we named our cat Watney after The Martian, and will always leave it on if it's on tv. Promising Young Women is probably the best one on this list that I never want to rewatch; it was powerful but brutal. 3w

Lesliereadsalot I only do the main puzzle on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays. I do the mini. Don‘t play letter boxed but my daughter does. I do the sudokus in my local paper when they‘re at a hard level. Also the two Jumbles every day. I play Words with Friends with a handful of friends. Will try your other three suggestions! @dabbe 1mo
Lesliereadsalot Waffle is fun! @dabbe 1mo
Lesliereadsalot I‘m looking for a daily or weekly Ken Ken. Do you know of any? When I occasionally get the physical Sunday NYT, there‘s one in the magazine section. Do you get Puzzlemania in December? @dabbe 1mo

January 2025 Book#5
Hard to believe that book with that cover would have many triggers: physical/sexual abuse. London XlX, family try to survive their extreme poverty environment with an abuse, alcoholic father who try to sell his daughter. Sylvia try to escape this world, try to find true love. My opinion is that story try to romanticize John‘s behavior who could be seen as a controlling person to justify his love for Sylvia? Abrupt happy ending?

Book #5 of 2025: “Stardoc” by SL Viehl

This book is one of my oldest possessions. I‘ve had it since 1999 or 2000. The first in a series that saved my life. I haven‘t read it in over a decade but it stood the test of time. I love rereading an old favorite ❤️

Oh, I love a good tale set in a marsh! There‘s just something about marshlands that screams horror, and boy did this collection bring the horror! In Marshland Horrors: The Cellar Door Issue #5 edited by Aric Sundquist, we get some wildly dark fiction that delves deep into the horrors that haunt the depths of the swamp.
