My last #Roll100 book for 2025

I think Irving and I need to break up. After a passionate romance from about 1985-1999, we took a 20 yr hiatus and now things just aren‘t the same. This is the 2nd book published in the 21st century of his that I‘ve kinda hated. To be fair, we both have changed.

IMO this was a mess. Juan Diego is a writer in Iowa via Mexico. He remembers his past on a trip to the Philippines. Too scattered/unnecessary sex scenes.

PuddleJumper I don't even have my 2026 list yet! 17h
Amiable This was not a good one, I agree. “Queen Esther” was better, thank goodness. 17h
Ruthiella @PuddleJumper So far I have only transposed my unread 2025 books over to my 2026 spreadsheet. I‘ve still got prep work to do too! 😊 17h

Ruthiella @Amiable I have Queen Esther on hold at the library. And The Cider House Rules connection makes it that much more tempting. He‘s trying to woo me back! 😂 17h
Amiable @Ruthiella If you haven‘t already read “Until I Find You,” you might want to avoid that one, too. 😬 17h
Ruthiella @Amiable I have not read it yet, so thanks for the heads up! 17h
Suet624 I‘m curious about Queen Esther. It sounds good. 16h
Ruthiella @Suet624 Crossing my fingers that it is. 🤞 14h

Yes, I am finishing my September #roll100 in December!! As usual I am late to the party but I give this book 4 thumbs up!! I fell in love with Evelyn and her “no sh*ts” given attitude. I loved the relationships that she developed over her lifetime and was surprised by the twist at the end. This is my first book by this offer. I believe there will be more in my future.

PuddleJumper Brilliant! 🎉🎉 17h

My second to last #Roll100 for 2026. I get the appeal and normally I love character driven SFF with political intrigue, but there was something that didn‘t work for me.

Baru‘s homeland is assimilated by the Falcrest Empire. She is sent as a child to a boarding school to be groomed as a civil servant to the Empire. But secretly Baru has plans for revenge on the usurping empire that destroyed her family. Will she have the nerve to see it through?

My #Roll100 list for 2026! Excited to get myself out of the weird reading funk that has been most of 2025. I don‘t think I‘ve ever been more ready for a year to be over. 🙄🤦‍♀️

PuddleJumper Looks great! I hope next year is better ... In any way! 5d

#roll100 #snowedin Meh. This was ok. Some of the descriptions felt a bit gratuitous. Probably need to read something a bit more uplifting now!

I think I enjoyed this even more than book 1! A fun, romantic comedic mystery with a delightful cast of characters. I will definitely be picking up book 3. 4.5⭐️ just because a slightly slow start. #bookspin pick & a #roll100 done!

Robert Burns‘s poetry and songs.

A delightful collection that really showcase the author‘s love for his country‘s landscape and history, and people. So many poems lovingly describing people he knew. I need to find some of these read out loud. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
