pickThis left me sad. I feel like if she had someone who cared about her and not about what they could get out of her, her life could have been something so different.
pick#NovelNovember Started and finished. Hopefully, this is the breakthrough, and my reading slump is over. I enjoyed this even though I saw the ending coming. Sadie's family story was able to keep me checked in because I wasn't sure how that would play out.
pickThe build-up of this book was great. Always waiting, for Jamie to be the bad guy, for Finn to be the hero. That ending. A pregnancy? That is what saves her? Ugh.
2,620 pts for #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks . This was tough for me this year. I had more on my plate than past #Scarathlon . I enjoyed the time that I put into this I kust wish there was more of it.
@LiseWorks thanks you for all your time and effort.
I could not find premade gingerbread. So, I took liberties. I bought cookies decorated them with my daughter while my son baked a cake. We set up a haunted pumpkin patch instead of a haunted gingerbread house. #scarathlon #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks @Catsandbooks
I swear this has been the busiest October of my life!! I will keep going. hopefully, #TeamCryptKeepers had some heavy hitters this round. @LiseWorks #Sarathlon
I have had the busiest week. I need to be cleaning my home, but all I want to do is read!! #31by31 #OutstandingOctober #Scarathlon #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks @Andrew65
pickSorry, #TeamCryptKeepers, I couldn't stop. I cannot wait to hear all of your thoughts. I will not post mine but wait to discuss them with you. @LiseWorks #Scarathlon
pickI have held on to this book for an entire year in order to have it for #Scarathlon . I laughed, I read parts outloud to my husband, and loved the nostalgia. #31in31 total is 5:40:23 #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks
Well, #20in4 did not go as planned. Reading a total of 4:25m. Usually, I am ok with how things work out. I have never hit the 24-hour goal, but this was disappointing. I think because other people's poor planning interfered it frustated me. 2:25 is the total for #scarathlon tally. @Andrew65 @LiseWorks #TeamCryptKeepers
panI really did not enjoy this at all. I finished because it is who I am, but this was not for me.
pickI cried a lot! Sad tears, happy tears, so many tears. I didn't expect to love this book but I did.
1. Childhood nickname. 2. Thriller. 3. Summer is my favorite season 4. I believe in spirit entities 5. USA 6. Wife, Mom and everything that entails. Library volunteer. #Scarathlon #TeamCryptKeepers @LiseWorks
pickThought provoking.
"Life is made of so many goodbyes welded together. So dread the endings. Cry and rage and curse them. Just don't forget to cherish the beginnings and all that comes in between. "
pickReading this felt like reading someones journal.
"Blood's thicker than water, and I am drowning in it. I was sinking down in that blood and once I hit bottom, no one would find me."
pickA perfect beach read. I am sad that my vacation and the book are over.
pickThis got me! Just sitting in my VRBO rental crying. Honestly, I love a book that makes me feel something. This book had me feeling multiple emotions.
I should be packing for our family vacation, but this book has sucked me in.
pickI never know what to say when I have read one of the Outlander series. I am so invested, the stories feel like part of me. I laugh, I cry, this book, like the others, is an emotional journey.

I met my goal by finishing this! 🤩
pickI have not processed how I feel about the story as I finished it seconds ago. However, the writing style was incredible. Writing from the perspective of everything around the story ( inanimate objects included) was genius.
#JubilantJuly
pickI wouldn't say this book was scary but it is definitely eerie. I am not sure how I feel about the ending. don't hate it, don't love it.
pickMy goal for #JoysOfJune was simply to enjoy what I am reading. This was the first boon of the #readathon, and it met the requirement. Both my husband and son commented about me laughing out loud while reading. I always love the development of this authors characters.
"I am not sure the loneliness of the place was not of its chief recommendations - I take no pleasure in watching people pass the windows; and I like to be quiet."
pickA sad story with a strong leading character. 😢 I bought this for my daughter, Haven, and thought I would read it, too. I was not prepared for the end of this story.
so-soA very slow burn. The ending was great but I don't think that is enough for me to love this book. #20in4
pickThis book has me spinning. 13 pages of notes. Lists of books to read after this. It has been a long time since a book had me in its grasp so intensely.
I have gone down a rabbit hole. Thank God for slow work days and a place where I am allowed to read on the job. #LostInARabbitHole #IHaveOnlyJustBegun
pickI don't know why I waited so long to read this. The end was exactly what I wanted for the story.
4.5 ⭐️
pickThis was a slow burn. At 75 pages, I was wondering if I wanted to continue. I am glad I continued. Adelaide frustrated me but was also relatable. Rory, that is a whole can of worms that I won't even open in this review.
Allergy season is wreaking havoc on my energy level. Time to d4ink some peppermint tea and read.
pickClean, cute, read. A bit of romance, a few tugs on the heartstrings.
