For the month of January, I‘m going to repost this image daily with my response. Do play along, ignore completely, or steal for your own.
Since I‘m a day late:
Day 1-I might get more complexity from later books, but I love the world-building of the 1st of any great series. Just watched the HP Marathon, so I‘ll go with HPASS.
Day 2-Just one?!?! Ugh! Maybe Good Omens by Neil Gaiman??? I know I‘ll keep thinking of more if I don‘t just pick one now!

ShelleyBooksie The second book in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. When I reread I always skip book 1. 2y
wanderinglynn I love book 5, Devil‘s Daughter, of Lisa Kleypas‘s The Ravenel series. 2y

wanderinglynn Day 2 is just simply impossible to answer. 😆 2y
Read-y_Picker Love this idea 2y
Chrissyreadit Where did you find this? I feel like I want to try and list it even though it‘s half over. 2y
Readergrrl @Chrissyreadit I believe I found it on a BookRiot email or directly from ProfessionalBookNerds.com. TBH, I can‘t really remember. I was going to restart myself since January became so busy with end-of-quarter grading, midterms, etc. (edited) 2y
Chrissyreadit The nice thing is it‘s introspective- so not tied to a date or completion of a current book. I love sharing and seeing what other people share too. 2y

Great debut novel! Lots of action, loved the FBI agent and BCA agent interaction. Will read the rest of this series!

I think I read this in just over a day. Interesting premise and the author had you almost cheering for the bad guys. Fast paced.
