Septiembre 2025 Book #6

I wish I could have that cover, my copy is the ugly tv show edition😝I expected more due to the hipped but still it was creepy. It gives that nervousness if they are going to make it to go back. I want to continue the series but not in that ugly tv edition. I haven‘t see the tv show, have you? Sometimes tv shows or movies mix more that one book, that‘s why I will like to read book 2 first. 3.8

August 2025 Book #12

Beautiful cover but this novel didn‘t work for me. I found it so boring. Even with a good premise and interesting character, well at the beginning I struggled to finish it. I have found that when you have more than one author in a novel there is a disconnection if that is the correct word. I didn‘t see like an integration in the story. It was like reading chunks of different stories. It didn‘t feel like the same tone⬇️

August 2025 Book #10 love that cover. I found an old secondhand copy not in the best condition but it is hardcover with the original cover 😍

I liked this story but didn‘t love it. I need to confess that not always speculative novels work for me🤷🏽‍♀️I was expecting something else. I didn‘t feel connected with the story because it didn‘t make sense to me why all these voodoo situation which means that I did f love the ending. 3.5/3.7⭐️

#12 of 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

June 2025 Book #3

I keep reading this author thrillers because they are entertaining but I don‘t love them. Usually the premise is good with various good twists but nothing that impact me. With that said, I liked it but not loved it. I probably read her next novel🤷🏽‍♀️3/3.5⭐️

So excited for my #auldlangspine list from @Singout ! I haven't read ANY of them, although I have read the tagged author before & loved it (Braiding Sweetgrass), so I'll probably start there.

Top right shows books I already owned (and/or purchased recently), & bottom right shows books I'm interested in.

Books #2, #5, #6 & #12 aren't appealing to me at mo, but might later in the year! 🤣

Thanks @monalyisha for another 👍 match!

This book is completely different from Out, that I loved. I was a bit disappointed by the story about a surrogate mother and all persons involved in the pregnancy and the circumstances surrounding it.
It‘s a story about women‘s choices in how to live their life, I can imagine it being a big theme in today‘s Japan. But to me it felt like a story I‘ve read before.

March 2025 Book #7 second book in Alex Stern series) I thought it would be a duology but not, third book is expected by September 2026. Well the ending suggests that a third book is coming. This book started very slow, I even thought if it was necessary a second book but then…the action starts. It has many twists and there is no way to describe it without spoilers. If you liked the first book, you will enjoy this one but ⬇️

I continue with my late book reviews but this help me to keep track of what I read in 2025 in GR. readers habits😂
I really liked this book. In some way reminded me Eleanor Oliphant is completely Fine. In this case I saw Sally as a woman with a neurocognitive condition (functional diversity) and how hard could be to adapt herself to a typical world. Family secrets, manipulation and even abuse. That‘s how I saw that family behavior (no spoiler)⬇️

This book is a reminder of the things you should hold dear. The things that truly COULD make us great, or at least could reinvest in real patriotism. It is an expanded listicle of 20 “lessons“ from the twentieth century. If you feel you lack courage to resist, throw this tiny book in your bag and take it out and reread it as you wait for the bus.
Make eye contact and small talk (#12).
Start somewhere.
