so-soconfession: book #3 is on a ready challenge list I saw and was hoping to do this year but golly this book was so long and drawn out with too many small side stories that did not add to the overall storyline. normally at this point I'd just move on but going to attempt #2. There is neurodivergent representation which is nice but with the opposite being a superiority complex I just didn't love it.
1) Child #1‘s 29th birthday. 2) Child #2‘s 24th birthday. This pic is from the NICU.

pickBook #2 - This one was also great. I‘m happy to be starting the year with excellent reads 😊 5/5. #readwithjenna
Book #2 of 2026. I have read The God of Small Things twice and it‘s one of my favorite books so I am enjoying getting to know the author. She has led an incredible life!
For book #2 of 2026 I started Fallen City by Adrienne Young last night. It's an ancient Roman inspired fantasy.
pickDecember 2025 Book #2
Not as good as the first one. As we saw in the first book, it has all these gossip interaction through emails or texts creating a confusing situation. Humorous tone like the first one. For a novella, wI think it was good because the is a plot development and a good closure. Are we going to see a sequel? 🤔
pickNovember 2025 Book #4
Well, it took me 2 years to read this one. As I say, I will read the book, eventually. I can‘t help it, I‘m a slow, mood reader who get distracted by other books🥹🤷🏽♀️😔
Wow, I really like this novel with all those unlikable characters and dysfunctional family dynamics. If you hate so much those characters, well I think then that author made her job. Of course, it has a great premise and plot based on real event⬇️
