My #20in4 started with The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Continuing it tomorrow, it definitely is interesting read.

Sweet story but left me cold.

I didn't like Vanessa who was soo insecure. She needed Aiden to stand for her and then he used his fists. I just can't understand what's hot in violence or why you would need someone to speak/act for you. I still liked friendship of Vanessa & Aiden. For me it's hard to understand why this kind of book should be this long because it was partly annoyingly repetitive.

“It is a terrible thing to learn as a child that one is a being separate from all the world, that no one and no thing hurts along with one‘s burned tongues and skinned knees, that one‘s aches and pains are all one‘s own.”

I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought I would: this was so much more than what I expected.

I liked characters and this time even the romance was good. Not first, but I ended up shipping them. This was one big adventure and had several good twists.

I got my TBR ready for #wintergames2021, hoping to earn some points for #teamgamesleighers

“When difficulties come, we must see them as what they are - opportunities and a new path to discover your potential. How will you ever know the magnitude of courage you are capable of if you have never experienced the hopelessness of fear?“

I loved characters, they were hilarious but there were also some thoughts about childrens' and parents' relationships. This tasted like a life :) This was really cozy and pleasurable read, just perfect for me after a rough week. I had so much fun with this story!

@Andrew65 I did it, I DID IT!! I finished this during #novelnovember and completed my goal: 9 books in 9 days. I am so happy that I ended up to start this one after the previous book :D

It's hard to believe that #novelnovember is over now, thank you for hosting @Andrew65

I read 8 books, 4 in English and 4 in Finnish. I hadn't the easiest week but I got still something read. My friend had also a birthday party yesterday and it distracted my reading this weekend. I read 3 awesome books, 3 okay books and 2 books that wasn't that good.

The thing that made me disappointed: suspense. This was a thriller but it didn't feel like it because there wasn't suspense. Thriller without suspense?? Not a thriller for me. I was so disappointed. And I hated the ending.

This book was boring, but I think I might have liked this more without waiting for reading a captivating thriller.

This was book 8 during #novelnovember

This maybe wasn't overall as awesome as I first thought it would be but this was still really entertainig read and I had fun time with it.

Unfortunately characters were a bit cliche even though I liked how misfortune followed Mina everywhere at the beginning. She was easy to relate to. I really loved how fairy tales came alive in modern world! I somehow love that always and it made this book as well feel magical.

Book 7 during #novelnovember

End of day 7 of #novelnovember

Work day, but I still started and finished UnEnchanted. I'll post my thoughts about it tomorrow.

Total 7 books read

I decided to read a Finnish mystery/crime book and this series has been very popular. This was nice and decent read but I think the newer ones could be even better.

Book 6 during #novelnovember

📚 I love to be surprised, and I love how nowadays you have to all the time wonder if you can trust in narrator

📚 Bookmarks!

📚 I would love to see several people reading Resistance by Owen Sheers

Thanks for the tag @wanderinglynn

I tag my newest follower @KristenDuck! 👋🏻

I enjoyed reading this book even though I liked present story more than past. I love books where someone is escaping - they can be so thrilling and this book sure was it!

There were two timelines and I wasn't really invested in the past timeline immediately. It took some time before it captivated me.

Overall this was really captivating read for me.

Book 5 during #novelnovember

End of day 5 of #novelnovember

Work ate again my reading hours but I still finished Pieces of Her. I'll post my thoughts about it tomorrow.

Total 5 books read

End of day 4 of #novelnovember

Work took so many hours today and then I had some things that worried me and I had hard to concentrate on reading. I still managed to:

1. Finish Life, the Universe and Everything
2. Continue Pieces of Her

Reading Pieces of Her saved my day today!

Total 4 books read

I can't say if this was really succesful re-read but well. This had some fun moments.

Characters were great again and overall this had some hilarious moments! I still dislike the writing style, it makes me to really struggle and it takes away my pleasure for reading. I love the humor though. Plot was again weak, maybe weaker than the first two installments'.

Book 4 during #novelnovember

End of day 3 of #novelnovember

I had to work today so that ate my reading hours. I still managed to:

1. Start & finish Death on the Range
2. Start Pieces of Her

I have enjoyed reading so much!

Total 3 books read

This was an easy and entertaining read - this was a nice book to read when I wanted to read some cozy mystery.

Book 3 during #novelnovember

End of day 2 of #novelnovember

My friend came to visit today so that took some reading hours but I still managed to finish The Giver of Stars

Total 2 books read

I accidentally posted this as a blurb, so I only add now : PICK ;)

Reading this was pure pleasure, I loved everything: characters, story, setting. I loved to follow characters' lives - and they really had to struggle through things.

I loved the atmosphere, I don't know why but isolated towns are dear to me. And this was a historical also so life was a bit different than nowadays.

Book 2 during #novelnovember

End of day 1 of #novelnovember

I had a brilliant start because I have enjoyed reading. I hadn't really much time for reading today because I was visiting my relatives - but I had an awesome day full of love and the time I had with books was pleasurable:

1. Finished Good Girl, Bad Blood
2. Started The Giver of Stars

Reading this book was a pleasure. It maybe wasn't the most believable but still. Not every book has to be.

This didn't have scary scenes like the first installment had and that was a bit disappointing. But there was still a mystery to solve and it was captivating to follow how it goes.

Book 1 during #novelnovember

This was a decent read but my biggest problem with this was that there was something that has beginned as an insta-love and I couldn't relate to it. And this wasn't as thrilling as the second installment.

Pacing felt a bit off: the beginning was good but then there was a big part of the book where happened almost nothing. The last 100 pages had all the action.

My goal during #novelnovember is to try to read at least some of these

1. Life, the Universe and Everything by Douglas Adams
2. Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
3. Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter
4. Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
5. Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
6. The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes
7. Crave by Tracy Wolff
8. For Your Own Good by Samantha Downing
9. SubZero by Junepurrr

4 in Finnish, 5 in English
