Here I come again...like the song, trying to review all the books I read in 2025 task to be completed by tomorrow😱In 2026 reading goals this will be improved. Good news, I didn‘t read much this year😅
May 2025 Book #1 I started the book the previous month but finished it on May. Like this author‘s writing style. Stories are inspired on real facts and it‘s interesting to search for the real facts while reading. I liked the twists and ending. 4⭐️

BookishMarginalia My perennial goal is to track my reading. Hasn‘t happened yet 🤣🤣🤣 3h

Tress is determined to figure out what happened on the night her parents disappeared, and her methods have a Poe-like flare. Some of this tale is a little far-fetched--the chapters from a panther's point of view--but the story is addictive. It is mostly about a destructive friendship. I'm glad I have the second book.

Another Christmas break book. #15 in the series. They are good stories with good characters. Help to get my mind off life for a short while. I appreciate the themes and conclusions.

Itchyfeetreader Sorry I have bene a bit delayed in responding - this is an awesome list @Born.A.Reader Its clear @Monalysha wins again as #5, 7, 8, 10, 13, 18 and 19 are alll also true for me! And on number 4 one of my fun facts (not on my list) is that I got married at the chapel at the Tower of London - starting marriage where Anne Bolyn is allegedy buried may not be auspicious but we seem to be holding on in! 3w
Born.A.Reader @Itchyfeetreader That is such a neat fact! One day I'd like to make it over to England, and the Tower is on my list to visit. Medieval England is my favorite era within historical fiction. 3w
monalyisha @Born.A.Reader & @Itchyfeetreader Wow! That‘s so many things in common! 🤩 3w

I hadn‘t expect to bail on this one since I enjoyed Vuongs debut novel, but there‘s that. This one too is well written but to me it was rather boring. Drugs and poverty are often a recipe for a repetitive story and unfortunately this story is no exception. I didn‘t care enough to finish it. I have to admit audio didn‘t help either, my mind kept drifting off.

ImperfectCJ Uh-oh...this is one I just added to my December TBR because it looked interesting. I'll give it a try anyway, but at least my expectations are tempered. 1mo
squirrelbrain I have a signed copy of this so will definitely read. I find drugs storylines very repetitive too, so we‘ll see. 1mo
BarbaraBB @ImperfectCJ @squirrelbrain I read a lot of good reviews so it‘s probably me. Although I really wanted to like it. 1mo

Hooked_on_books Gorgeous pic! I didn‘t get along with his first book and thus don‘t want to read this. If it makes the tournament, I might give it a try. We‘ll see. 1mo
BarbaraBB @Hooked_on_books It is quite possible it makes the shortlist but I honestly don‘t hope so 1mo
AshleyHoss820 Oh, what a bummer! I‘ve been on the fence about this one, so I think I can wait in it. On to the next, friend! ☺️ 4w

2⭐️ this is a vampire love story where our MMC finds the reincarnation of his soulmates soul every generation. The best part about this book, was it was short enough that I could finish without having to DNF. Oh, and I get to take another one off my Kindle. This was #15 for August. #Roll100 and my #DoubleSpin for #BookSpinBingo

TheAromaofBooks Sometimes it's just good to get a book (and possibly an author!) off the TBR! 5mo
PuddleJumper It's off your list! 5mo

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished Sunday for July‘s #BobWhiteBuddies this one (#15) & Trixie & the gang are visiting Mark Twain country—St. Louis & the Mississippi River when mysterious papers left in her hotel room by the previous occupant soon have her & the Bob-Whites mixed up in some very dangerous dealings. This one I remembered a lot of—probably because Trixie gets in over her head. Also I get very frustrated when the group splits up ⬇️

DebinHawaii … because when does that ever work well for them? Things get pretty serious & scary but it‘s Trixie so you know it will all work out in the end. 5mo
CBee @DebinHawaii stay safe Deb! Just saw the earthquake news and tsunami warnings for Hawaii 😥♥️ 5mo
TheBookHippie Also checking in after seeing the weather warnings for Hawaii! Thinking of you! 5mo

DebinHawaii @TheBookHippie @CBee Thanks, friends for the concern! Yeah, it moved to a warning from a watch & they are taking it pretty seriously so far. The earliest it would hit here is 7:17 PM do we have a few hours to figure it out. I‘m just outside of the evac zone so I‘ll wait a little & if I think I need to, drive in a few streets. I haven‘t written my haiku today so this may be the subject! 😳 5mo
TheBookHippie @DebinHawaii 😅😬 here‘s hoping it calms and all is well. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 5mo

#HaikuADay Day #15 (Catch Up) #HaikuHive

I fell asleep before I could post this yesterday. There‘s a special something about a new box of colored pencils. ✏️

Bouquet

New colored pencils—
sharp tips, a rainbow waiting
to sketch quiet joy.

BennettBookworm Reminds me of the You‘ve Got Mail quote: “bouquets of newly-sharpened pencils!” 7mo
