so-soJanuary 2025 Book#5
Hard to believe that book with that cover would have many triggers: physical/sexual abuse. London XlX, family try to survive their extreme poverty environment with an abuse, alcoholic father who try to sell his daughter. Sylvia try to escape this world, try to find true love. My opinion is that story try to romanticize John‘s behavior who could be seen as a controlling person to justify his love for Sylvia? Abrupt happy ending?
pickBook #5 of 2025: “Stardoc” by SL Viehl
This book is one of my oldest possessions. I‘ve had it since 1999 or 2000. The first in a series that saved my life. I haven‘t read it in over a decade but it stood the test of time. I love rereading an old favorite ❤️

pickOh, I love a good tale set in a marsh! There‘s just something about marshlands that screams horror, and boy did this collection bring the horror! In Marshland Horrors: The Cellar Door Issue #5 edited by Aric Sundquist, we get some wildly dark fiction that delves deep into the horrors that haunt the depths of the swamp.

And here is my #readyourkindle list for this month. Thanks @CBee for organizing!
#1 and #5 for me. I love the look of case laminate hardcover and I like listening to audiobooks while I'm making a meal or cleaning.
I actually commented on one of the books I own because of its amazing cover! (Assassin of Fire and Sacrifice by Mary Mecham)

3- Found the Captain Planet DVD collection at Walmart a few months ago, and I've finally had time to watch while we work on our DIY projects. A childhood favorite 🦸♂️🌎💍💝.
