February 2025 Book #7

Sorry, unpopular opinion here. I think this book was overhyped for me. That situation at the hotel was so unrealistic to me. Then, we have a character not only with suicidal ideation but also a plan to do it and it was ignored? I have read books with morbid humor like Hagman by Maya Binyam but from the beginning you see the absurd tone. I didn‘t see that in this novel. It was tragic so sad her situation but ignored⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) There were some funny scenes but in general, it didn‘t work for me. At the end we see a growth in some characters which gives hope to the characters.

Maybe the book was so well commented with great reviews and a rating of more that 4 stars in GR that I expected a stronger story🤷🏽‍♀️ 3⭐️

I may take a break from this series only because I do not want to finish these books too fast. But i just had to see Banks through this one book after the previous tumultuous Aftermath‘s journey into the bowels of evil.

TheSpineView Fantastic! 🤩📖📚 6d

January 2025 Book #9
This is the conclusion (supposedly) of Mirren Triggs trilogy) I know first book is already translated (The Snow Girl) which is a Netflix series.
I liked the conclusion. At the end we see a mature Mirren who decides to make a choice in her relationship and life in general. The case in this story is so sad. A body was found with his “mouth sewn” and a father looking for his son who disappeared 30 years ago. 3.8/4⭐️

Book 3 of this series and I'm still not fussy on the style of the writing but the stories are cute, and I'm interested in how the conclusion comes about. #13-2025

GALLANT. | V.E. Schwab

Pickpick

A dark, hauntingly beautiful ghost story that perfectly captures Schwab‘s signature eerie storytelling. With zero romance and a focus on atmosphere, identity, and the thin veil between the living and the dead, Schwab once again crafts a world that is twisted and gothic, but never overly graphic. A must-read if you like quiet horror and lyrical, immersive storytelling. Book #13 in 2025

Hello #MonthlyNonfiction2025 friends! Both @willaful and @TheAromaofBooks suggested that since there are 11 Dewey classifications, it might be fun to read one classification per month.

If anyone would like to do that, I have updated the StoryGraph challenge to include the Dewey classifications as Bonus prompts.

So you can track your monthly reading in the regular monthly prompts (#1-12) and your Dewey reading in Bonus prompts #13-23. ⬇️

julieclair Prompts #24-25 are labeled “Extra” for folks to use as suits their needs. It is possible to add a book to more than one prompt within the StoryGraph challenge. For example, I have added the book I‘m reading this month (Wintering, by Katherine May) to Prompt #1 -January AND Prompt #21 - Dewey 800-899. (edited) 5mo
julieclair The use of the bonus Dewey prompts is totally optional. 😃 (For that matter, the use of the whole SG challenge is totally optional! 😉) Questions? Please ask. And as always, all are welcome to join! 5mo
