I finished my second #ThematicCozies #Animal pick today running errands. I found it cute & enjoyable overall, especially the setting of Wagtail, Virginia, a town set up to cater to pets & the pet experience inn that the MC‘s grandmother runs there. There‘s the usual cozy quirky small town characters—here they are humans & their pets & the mystery was pretty easy to solve. I would try another book in the⬇️

I finished this one last week but hadn‘t reviewed it yet. I got it from the library based on the cover & description & made it a January #Roll100 pick (# 62 Any Library Book). (I also saw @BarbaraBB really liked it-always a plus!) So yeah, this book is both very dark & very good. Creepy, set at night & in Iceland where a young woman is exhausted & finds out she‘s sleepwalking to the tune of 40,000 steps on her smart ⬇️
pickRead in one day. Yes, it's predictable - it's a romance. Kudos for addressing mental health issues, but I felt it was a bit heavy-handed with explanation/exposition at the beginning - I would have appreciated more showing, less telling. Still had me racing to read to the end!

Loved this slow burn hockey romance. Nothing like a tortured hero. The plot really worked for me and I loved both of the main characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in this series. 4 ⭐

pickThis was a horror story that was a page turner. It was 856 pages, so it was a chunkster for sure. I read it for #FoodandLit, and I'm glad I did. About a mountaineering team where something went horribly wrong. As it turns out, I heard a story of 2 Canadian Mountaineering men who just recently received the Order of Canada for their contributions to the sport. #Read2025 #Jumpstart2025 #ISpyBingoJan @Catsandbooks @Texreader @TheAromaofBoo⬇️
pick07/100 I'm happy to say Book Three of the Prof. Croft series was just as enjoyable as the previous two. With each book, he reminds me less of John Constantine and more of his own character. The Mayor of NYC has decided to purge the city (thus the title) of all supernatural creatures, and Croft is enlisted to help. It's all a trap, of course, and he soon finds himself in the middle of a four way battle between werewolves, vampires, the fae, ⬇️
pickSuch a great book…a must-read IMO. This is a reread for me, so this time I opted for the audiobook.

pickThis one is a low pick for me. I liked the characters put the plot was just so off the rails I couldn't get totally invested in the story. I've said this numerous times, I prefer characters and plots are at least plausible, if not, then the writing must be of such quality as to make up for the short comings. 3ish Stars
I doubt I will read the other books in the series. #SeriesLove2025 @Andrew65 #REad2025 @DieAReader #LitsyLoveReads
