Bailed on Wayward.
In the Seeing hands was a dark, compelling read.
A lovely short story from Keegan.
My heart is now invested in Postcard, have about 100 pages to go.

Pity was amazing.
A Room Full of Killers was a good addition to the series.

According to my IPad my screen time was up 20%, I‘ve watched a ton of Friends episodes and haven‘t read very much at all. Love, Theoretically was #52Bookclub24 #WomeninStem and just ok for me. I am behind on both buddy reads and decided to DNF #TheBros. Enjoying The Biography of X. And have still only read one of the stories from Florida. 🤞🏼 for a better reading week. Next up Hello Beautiful and Let Us Descend.
#bookreport
Fabulous week for me in the quality of the books.
Christ on a Bike and Greta and Valdin were brilliant.
Outside Looking In was a good 2nd one in a series.
I‘m loving The List of Suspicious Things, hopefully finish over the weekend but have a lot of work stuff to do.

A busy week = less reading time. Mama Love and Uncle Tom‘s were both great and I enjoyed the Nancy Drew. Happiness Falls was a so-so for me. I‘m behind on #TheBros #buddyread by several chapters so that‘s my main focus. Not very far into any of my In Progress books.

Really enjoyed Mobility.
Loved Day, wonderful writing.
I‘m Not Scared was just meh for me, didn‘t really engage me
The Mother was entertaining brain candy for a train journey
Just started Christ on a Bike this morning and looking forward to a couple of hours with it today.

Lots of good books this last week. Loved Mrs. Palfrey and the Winterson. We Were Once a Family was another gripping nonfiction read. All my current books are in the beginning chapters so it to early to say much but I‘m more into The Ferryman and Mama Love so far.

The Art of Prophecy- I did not like the MC in this, though loved the supporting characters. Unsure whether I‘ll read the next one.
Escape Artist was sad (obvious I know) but informative and engaging.
Enjoying Mobility at the moment.
My last book report for January. Finished three buddy reads Cooking for Picasso, Return of the King and The Spectacular. They were ok but the others I finished were better.

#BookReport Not a stinker in the bunch. Poverty and Finding Me both 5 🌟. Enjoying the daily dose of classical music with Year of Wonder although not all the selections are my cup of tea. Hope to finish Heaven & Earth today and then pick up Same Bed, Different Dreams for #LitsyTOB. Not sure what my audio book will be yet…maybe The Overstory.
#bookreport
Loved Prophet Song
Family Meal was a so-so for me
The Stolen Girls was a good detective read
Currently reading All That I Am.
Reading so many books at once! Didn‘t finish any this week. Here are my impressions so far:
Forbidden Notebook is my favorite at the moment.
You, Again is going to be set aside for now.
The Good Wife of Bath is the biggest surprise because I don‘t usually like historical fiction from this period.
And I checked out The Neighbor Favor because I saw many people posting about it!!

Lots of staying home last week = lots more reading time. Favorite of the week is Mercy House on audio. Just started Finding Me on audio and slowly making my way through Poverty, both from my #AuldLangSpine list. Still enjoying Year of Wonder and just a few chapters in Idlewild. I put An Immense World in hibernation until my Libby audio hold comes in. I‘m finding it hard to stay focused in print. Staying caught up on buddy reads.

Enjoyed Beyond that, the Sea
Fool Me Once was an entertaining Coben read, currently all over Netflix!
A Day in the Life was heart breaking 💔
The Things that we lost was a good read
Just started Prophet Song this morning.
#bookreport
#finished
Finished The Bookbinder and Where is Anne Frank this week (both were fairly quick reads for me) and DNF'd Wreck the Halls. I completed about 31% of Wreck the Halls and just couldn't go any further.
#currentlyreading
In the midst of reading The Sacred Balance, which is for a library book club, and A Christmas Carol and should be able to finish them both today.
Continued in the comments
#BookReport Haven‘t done a book report since October so starting fresh with the New Year. I‘m about halfway through Mobility. I started in December but wasn‘t feeling it. Picked it up Friday and it was a much better reading experience. Sometimes it‘s not the book it‘s the timing. Hope to finish today and make progress on Julia.

I think this is a good time for me to retire this #bookreport exercise. New endeavor TBD.
But first!
-I‘ve been reading Ripley in dribs & drabs for months and will likely continue the same.
-Two books in a row set in a library with unhinged characters is maybe a bit much. I pivoted to Tom Lake which I‘m enjoying more.
-Percy Jackson is back! Without spoiling, I think I can say there will be more books to follow.
Miss you, Cindy. 🫂💔

#bookreport: Finished two books this past week. The Golden Spruce was very interesting, but the author seemed to spend more time on the history of forestry than on the actual events that led up to the chopping down of the Golden Spruce. The graphic adaptation of Anne Frank's Diary was very fascinating and was also made me put the book down for a bit because of how I wanted the ending to be different.

📚 Maybe pick up something new
Since the news from Israel began pouring in last Saturday, October 7 - the only book I‘ve opened is the Tehillim, Book of Psalms. Sometimes words written more than 2500 years ago hold the most power. In these dark days, when hope is almost lost, I‘m finding tremendous comfort and solace through these ancient songs and laments. Im also feeling tremendous gratitude for my Litsy family who have reached out & sent me virtual hugs and love.
