#Read2025

This week work is totally kicking my butt so I‘m behind on reviews, book clubs, posting—all the things.😵‍💫

Posting a quick review for this book, my third #Roll100 pick of April (#24 Any short stories or essays). I have been meaning to read this since it came out & overall I really enjoyed it. The stories explore the experiences of Native Hawaiian & mixed race women in Hawaii & are a mix of speculative fiction, horror, magical ⬇️

DebinHawaii …realism & folklore. Some are weirder than others, some I liked more than others but I appreciated the sense of place in all of them. I think having lived in Honolulu for 24 years helped my enjoyment—so a pick for me. 2mo

Every Drop Is a Man's Nightmare | Megan Kamalei Kakimoto

This one, stories set in Hawaii, is my pick for #FictionalTraveler April #Island & it‘s one of my April #Roll100 picks (#24 Any stories or essays ).

It‘s good incentive since it‘s been in my TBR since I bought a signed copy from a local book store when it was released.

Hooked_on_books These are all terrific books! You‘re in for a treat! 3mo

julieclair I like the way you structured your #Roll100 list… “any”. 3mo

DebinHawaii @julieclair I did some of it last year & did the whole thing that way this year. It really works well for my mood reading! 😉 3mo

Never Lie | Freida McFadden

pick

I almost started counting the times Tricia said Ethan wouldn‘t like that or that they‘ve known each other barely a year. It was so repetitive and annoying. All the gaslighting between Ethan gaslighting Tricia and Tricia gaslighting herself, ugh. But I love an unreliable narrator, and oh yeah this one is good. Book #24 in 2025

Dewey Decimal Classification, DDC 23 (Ed) | Melvil Dewey

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. ⬇️

Sarahreadstoomuch, rockpools, Gissy, Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick, Lauredhel, TEArificbooks, TheBookgeekFrau

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) 6mo

julieclair The link to the SG challenge is the same: https://app.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/05fd860d-5e9b-45d6-bdf4-28410ac... 6mo

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! 6mo
