Woot! Finished my last read of 2018. I‘ll get my stats up soon.

This is an atypical romance, because there aren‘t even any kisses, and the heroine is offstage for a solid 100+ pages. But it‘s hilarious and so clever. #georgetteheyer #jesshowreads2018

This book was INCREDIBLE. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don‘t think I‘d recommend it on audio though. It was a little hard to follow at first — so I‘m glad I switched to the ebook from the library. Now impatiently waiting for the next book.

I have been on a crazy book binge the last 2 days! In 48 hours I have worked 11 hours at my one job, baked more than 300 cookies, and read 5 books - one of which was for my other job. And four (including this one) for funsies. It took me a bit to get into this one — perhaps because I listened to it, but I ended up liking it a lot. #jesshowreads2018 #audiobaking

Hey guys, no #friyayintro this week. I just got back from Disneyland and I‘m still in post-vacay catch-up mode, I don‘t think I have time to check out all the posts like I usually try to!

But, I just finally finished this awesome book (did not really have reading time in CA as I‘d hoped to), and now I can take my kindle off airplane mode, and download something new! 🙂 #libraryproblems #jesshowreads2018

⭐️⭐️⭐️ for In the Hurricane‘s Eye. I always enjoy Philbrick‘s books, but I thought this was the weakest entry in his loose trilogy of the American Revolution. (I much preferred Bunker Hill and Valiant Ambition.) It just didn‘t really seem to have a point. #jesshowreads2018

Becoming | Michelle Obama

I‘ve already finished two nonfiction books in December! (Started both of them in November.) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for Becoming. Fascinating to get a glimpse into the lives of the Obamas. Michelle is so smart, gracious, and kind. I miss them. 😥 #jesshowreads2018

Bklover Me too!🥺 5y
rjsthumbelina I'm excited to get to this one! I think I'm gonna listen on audio, since its included on Scribd currently 5y

November | Gabrielle Lord
post image

Happy December! I made one book collage of my November reads at 8pm yesterday; and then I ended up finishing a 16th book, so I had to make another! The bigger the cover, the better I liked it. #jesshowreads2018 #monthinreview

Bklover I love your method of rating the books! Great idea! 5y
TrishMcCallister Great list! 5y

I actually wrapped up one more - making 16 books for November. This one was.... odd. It basically was half a Sarah Addison Allen book + half an X-Men movie. I can‘t decide if I‘m going to be reviewing it or not. 🤔 #jesshowreads2018

KatieCarpenter Way to go! 5y

I was going to say I‘d barely read at all... because I‘ve only watched Netflix Christmas movies for the last two weeks or so. 😝 But I forgot I read a fair amount in early November! I was on quite a romance kick. The top row are my faves, bottom row my least liked. And as usual, I utterly failed at individually rating everything I read. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #monthinreview #jesshowreads2018

AlaMich You‘re the first person I‘ve encountered who hasn‘t liked Witch Elm. I haven‘t read it yet. It seems like it‘s gotten almost unanimous praise. 5y
britt_brooke Great month! 5y
Susannah @AlaMich, I was going to start The Witch Elm a couple of weeks ago but put it off for a bit when a friend of mine talked about how much she disliked it. Like you, until she spoke so negatively about it, I had heard nothing but good things. I‘m not sure if I‘ll get to it sooner or later. 🤷‍♀️ 5y
howjessicareads @AlaMich @Susannah - it made me SO MAD. French is such a good writer. And I really enjoyed the first 80% and then the end made me so mad if I had had a physical copy (rather than audio), I would have thrown it. 🤬 5y

This one is so weird and un-Poirot-like. It‘s not terrible... but it‘s not great. #jesshowreads2018

Trollkonstnaren Oh, I remember. It was different, but somehow I liked the book.Perhaps for the reason. 5y
