This was a great detective novel, very developed characters. Great story, interesting twists, made me say ugggg out-loud. Swedish authors and translated and set in Sweden. Different than once read before. No already order book 2

A little guilty pleasure but I like these characters, might listen to the next one in the series too

Listened to the audio of this one. Great fun YA adventure game book.

This was a phenomenal read. I was hesitant to read it because sometimes books depicting slavery are hard to get through. But this was a great read

I mean . . . Obviously picked this up because of the title and then was intrigued that the author wrote the pina colada song. It was a disappointment, maybe 200 pages too long. It was also written in kind of a weird pretentiousness. The structure of the the characters stories was ok, but it was confusing. And kind of all over the place

Listened to the audio of this one. Started out thinking it was going to be a cheesy romance. Turned out to be a lot deeper. Characters were well developed and it was a cute rom com

Trying to read a few classics this year. This was very good coming of age story of a very poor girl and her family.

Guilty pleasure!!! Loving this. Serial killers, FBI agents and sex

I had this one in my holds for a long time and kept passing it over. So glad I finally got to it. Very good- heartbreaking in some ways infuriating in others.

This a good book and covers a large range of themes. I think I‘m just not a fan of her writing style

A great thriller, twist is predictable but still fun to read

This starts out quirky and clever and turns to heartbreaking and ends heartwarming. Short at 250 pages but took me a while to read for some reason I could only absorb a small amount at a time.

Loved the characters in this book.

This was a good twisty thriller. Reminded me of Gone Girl but different.

Just ok rom com for me. YA set at a university. A lot of racial stuff happening. The love story was sweet though.

Jumped on this band wagon this week and I‘m glad I did. Definitely finishing the series and i‘m@looking forward to the show

This book did not disappoint. A decades long epic and heartbreaking crime thriller. And I ‘bleeping‘ love Charlotte she is exactly what I wanted her to be.

Kinda silly little quick cozy fantasy read

Cute romcom with sister component and a parent trap esque situation. 3⭐️

‘Love. It was the beginning and the end of everything, the foundation and the ceiling and the air in between.‘

Read this to help myself remember the story before a read James. I don‘t never if I ever read it in its entirety maybe only excerpts. The language makes it slow to read. Not a huge fan, not even sure why it‘s a classic. It does convey a time period well and the treatment of slaves.

Very quirky book. Hard to follow at times but I think that‘s an intentional perspective of the author. Liked it but didn‘t love it

Finished the year with this one! Total for the year 54 books

A little Christmas horror story written to be read like an advent calendar. I read it straight through instead. It was creepy and suspenseful. And gave off all the snowy cold winter vibes.

Good, but didn‘t live up to all the hype.

The is a nice little story

Cleverly written from the elephants perspective

I really enjoyed this looking forward to making my way through the rest of the series

Clever little book about neighbors and neighborhood drama

Good, but weird. Not my usual genre. Definitely kept me engaged but it was a little too sci fi / apocalyptic for my taste. I enjoyed the unusual love story that the story spiraled around.

5⭐️ an absolute love letter to a good book and it‘s reaches. Devoured this!

Just ok for me. I enjoyed the nostalgic aspects of having grown kids. But the menopause stuff was a bit much for me

Not sure how, but this book is both heavy and light. It‘s both happy and sad. It‘s a very different book then anything I‘ve read

A long time since a read a book of short stories. These were great and nice to break it up a bit

Interesting premise. Lots of twists and turns

Love Riley Sager! Great spooky Halloween month read.

A wanted to love this one because I know a lot of people do. But it was just ok for me. Spoiled rich kids making poor decisions without consideration of the people they are hurting.

Heart wrenching!!!!

So Good!! Action packed! Caught my self holding my breath.

Fast paced fun read.

Loved this one 5 ⭐️. Life can be complicated, life can be simple. There is love, loss, tragedy, deception. Doing the things you love to do in a place you love with people you love is all that matters.

I loved Survivor and this was like reading a season of survivor with some twists of course. Light and fun!

Just ok, I don‘t think this genre is for me. I think I‘ll skip the rest of this series.

Fun YA murder mystery!! Lots of twist. I love the way you get to try to figure out who the murder is along the way

Not at all what I expected. I loved it! I thought it was about gaming, but more about growing up, relationships ( friends and lovers and colleagues) it‘s about failing and then figuring out how to get over it and it‘s about loss. So much heart.

A good, quick, little thriller

Not great, a little pretentious and boring

I chose this one because it was set in San Luis Obispo and Paso Robles are and I was traveling there for my daughters Cal Poly graduation. It was a decent private investigator read and fun to read about all the different areas where I was. This picture was from our hike in Cambria.

Amazing!! Kristin Hannah never disappoints. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Loved every minute of this book, sad it‘s over

Well I dove into this hyped up series. I liked it. Not sure it lives up to the hype. I liked fourth wing better, but I will probably read the next one
