One by One | Ruth Ware
post image

Trying out this whole social media thing again - I tried to give myself a break because reading (and documenting my reading) started to feel like a job. I started to feel like I wasn't reading because I enjoyed it, I was just reading because it allowed me to check off another box. So I'm coming back with a different mindset!

It's no surprise that I absolutely loved Ruth Ware, what does surprise me is that I had no idea she had another book out!

Happy Friday, Littens! I have been in one heck of a reading slump - starting 4 or 5 books without finishing them. But a little birdy told me that this weekend is an unofficial #24in48 so hopefully I can kick it! Loving this book so far!

The Killer Inside | Cass Green
post image
Mehso-so

So.... after absolutely falling in love with Cass Green after reading In A Cottage In A Wood, this one left me just a smidge disappointed. The overall story was good, but I found that the first two thirds of the book were a slow burn and then everything happened at once after that. It was an entertaining read, just not the edge-of-your-seat thriller that I was expecting.

rabbitprincess I love that bookmark!! 4y

JacqMac That sounds dreamy! 4y
Read.Em.And.Eat @JacqMac I don't think I've ever been so excited for anything! Hahaha. I just LOVE hotels in general. So to be able to dedicate 48 hours just to READING?! Sigh. Is it March yet? 4y

I've decided that my goodreads reading challenge will be the age that I will be this June! But my real challenge is that I want to read enough books that, when stacked, they're as tall as I am! At 5'8" this will likely be no easy task, but I think it's a cute idea!

AshleyHoss820 I like it!! It‘s a fun idea! Make it so!! 4y
Emilymdxn That‘s such a good idea! I‘m trying to focus on page count this year rather than number of books as well. Did you know LibraryThing does a count of how tall your book stack would be?? You could find a way of using that to track it if you use LibraryThing! 4y
Read.Em.And.Eat @Emilymdxn I had no idea! That's a great idea! I will check it out for sure! 4y

It's back to work for me today. Le sigh. The holidays always seem too short. But at least I have some time before I have to leave to have my heart ripped out of my chest by a hardcover. I've been putting off reading this last book in the series because I never want it to end - but it feels like the right time to see where the story wraps up.

In true Ruth Ware tradition, this book really kept me on my toes. There were a few twists and turns that I really didn't see coming. The reviews were definitely mixed on this one, but I gave it 4 🌟s. The only thing that gets me a little is I feel like there were a few things left unanswered or wrapped up too neatly.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I think that the plot was fresh and new - a murderous reality show is something that I've never seen come from a teen novel. And it's going to be a duology at least! Really looking forward to the next one!

Finished my first book of my own personal scare-athon. Although I didn't absolutely LOVE it, I'm giving it a pick. It wasn't the books fault that it just wasn't exactly what I was looking for. The story was good, even if the main character was a wee bit flat in my opinion. Not a bad fluffy read though!

Morgan Matson proves to me, once again, that she knows how to spin one hell of a summer teen contemporary. I loved following along with Charlie through all of the chaos and enjoyed the cameos of some well loved characters from her other books. Can't wait until next year!

Since today is my Friday, I think for my two days off I‘m going to do a self-imposed 24-in-48. I reallly want to finish the raven cycle before Dewey‘s 24hr readathon next weekend and it will be a great way to recharge and be antisocial after a tough week. Does anyone else host their own mini readathons when you want to cut down your tbr?

Redwritinghood I don‘t but have been thinking about it. I have a few short books and could probably knock out a few in one weekend. 6y

JamieArc Since I‘m not able to do Dewey‘s readathon, I decided to do my own last month. It made me realize that I need to set up readathons for myself more often. 6y
Traci1 How do you do it? Just keep track of time and be sure to read 24 hours out of the 2 days? 6y
Read.Em.And.Eat @JamieArc since I came from a job where I didn‘t have to see the public to a retail location (where I get to talk about books all day, so that‘s a perk!) I‘ve found that I create more readathons for myself just so I can be antisocial for a day or two haha. 6y
JamieArc @Read.Em.And.Eat I‘m the same way, and I find that it recharges me so much! I need that day to have no obligations to the house or a person - just to books. 6y

I cannot even begin to express how much I loved this book. The chemistry between Sam and Remi Fargo is so seamless and as a team they are so freaking bad ass. I read a few reviews about how people found their reactions to danger to be “unrealistic”, but call me crazy - in adventure fiction I don‘t always want realism. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
