This was my #LMPBC book for January so I don't want to say too much. Basically, I really liked the story, but really didn't like the main character haha She was incredibly self-absorbed, and I thought she stayed that way all the way through.

Final book for #JumpStart2022 as I did finish this Monday!! @Lizpixie @Clwojick

AsYouWish Yay!!! Have you ever watched the movie?? I think it was on Hallmark and they still play it every once in a while. I liked the movie (but that could be more so because Skeet Ulrich is in it and I have a small…okay major crush on that man 😁)💙💙💙💙 2y
Lizpixie Well done you!👏👏👏 2y

My goal for #22booksin22 is the 22 oldest, stand-alone ebooks on my Kindle. Lingering since April of 2016, this one was the oldest!! In Raynes's 2032, the US is in a state of incredible unrest. Ten years before, MedID was introduced, a chip that tracks all of your medical data & also assesses your DNA to determine your medical ID number based on how likely you are to develop medical conditions or diseases. There's a magic cut-off number that I ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) can't remember now, like 72 or whatever, & everyone above a 72 is able to get jobs, move freely from place to place, or emigrate to another country. If you're below a 72, no one wants to hire you, countries don't want you to come live there, and consequently you struggle to find housing or ways to support your family. The 2032 presidential election is looming, and the book focuses on various characters trying to control the outcome. ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) The creepy thing is that this book was actually published in 2015, long before anyone was talking about vaccine mandates or passports, so this book felt both behind and ahead of its time, if that makes sense. The beginning of the book was very good, setting the stage, but it slowly devolved into a rather basic thriller, with a wild-eyed religious man pulling the strings behind the curtain. It still would have been a soft pick except ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) the ending was dreadful, with basically no resolution to any of the questions that had been raised. I'm glad to have this one off the list, but I struggled with it - it was also way too long at 528pgs. Still, first book down for #22booksin22 @jb72 !!!

Clare-Dragonfly Jeez, that sounds like it could have been really interesting if it had stuck with it! 2y
TheAromaofBooks @Clare-Dragonfly - So much of his premise was really intriguing, with an entire country full of civil unrest, small communities popping up created by people whose MedID numbers aren't high enough to get good jobs, this idea of an underground MedID operation that can change your number, people who are proponents of the system because they believe it will lead to the eradication of health issues... but it just sort of fizzles away into a typical ⬇ 2y
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) “crazy religious people want to kill the president, manly man must stop them“ plot without really any resolution to any of the concepts brought up by the MedID. It was quite frustrating when the book just... ended! 2y

I liked this book more than the previous book. This had again the same action that I love and Rose was also again her snarky & fun herself.

I am not a big fun of love triangles and romance in this hole series was never really doing it's thing to me. I didn't still mind it because there were always so much more happening and romance was only one part of the bigger picture.

If you think how this is a book about tournament where people are supposed to kill each others there wasn't so much killing in this book.

This book felt sometimes a bit overwhelming: this book had much to get familiar with.

I always like darker books so I enjoyed reading this. I just had so high expectations for this one.

My official stats for the #Jumpstart2022 #readathon! I finished 12 books and started 3 others. Unfortunately I didn‘t keep a month long timer, my bloody app reset with me realising so I have no clue how many hours I clocked up but 7 of the 12 were over 500pgs so it must‘ve been a few. My favourite of the month is a tossup between The Storyteller & the Elizabeth Bear books, with an honourable mention to To Sleep In A Sea Of Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lizpixie Thanks to my cohost @Clwojick for another great start to the year. I know I‘ve been missing a lot this month with The Great Library Clean but it‘s been fun. Definitely do it again next year?😘❤️ 2y
Clwojick Definitely on again for next year! I‘m always so motivated during the beginning of the year! 2y
Lizpixie Me too! I know it was only 12 books finished but all up I read 5,933 pages! And that‘s without counting the pages read in the 3 books I started too. Always sounds better counting pages instead of book numbers🙌 2y

I read for 10 hours yesterday. That brings my total tme for the month to 190.75 hours. My original goal was 100 hours, which I long surpassed. I set a new goal of 200 hours and came very close. In addition, I read 25 books in January. A successful January!
