July 2025 Book #2

First book in a series. I like this author writing style. Her stories not always are too scary but they are so atmospheric, you feel the creepy vibes, eerie ambience. Keira “takes refuge in an abandoned groundskeeper‘s cottage”. (From blurb) She can listen the dead and start to help one of them…and things start to get complicated. Perfect! Ready for the second one 3.8⭐️👻

May 2026 Book #6 (last one read this month, see I didn‘t read much this year)

My intention to read this book was to understand better James by Percival Everett who was the author on May. But it didn‘t happen, I haven‘t read James yet. Wow, this is a controversial story due to its racist content. You can read in GR a lot of comments in favor or con. So interesting in that way. But I try to read these type of books within the time frame ⬇️

May 2025 Book #3

Cleo, an NYU student, came late to stay some days with her mom. But the scene she saw at her mom‘s kitchen suggested that something happened to her mom: food burning and one bloody shoe.
Not the best thriller, it is predictable but I focused on the family drama and how Cleo‘s perspective changed. 3/3.5⭐️Maybe should be described as so-so

This book is a hoot & so is Rue! She‘s candid about her poor taste in men & she hilariously rates all bedroom romps by her FQ system: Fun Quotient!😂
Loved learning about her impressive theatrical career, working with top playwrights.
We all know Rue for her standout roles in Maude & Golden Girls (with coolest inside stories!), but she‘s been in so much more.
Rue finally found love with hub #6 but her son Mark was the guy always there for her.

#Pemberlittens now that we have reached the end of Jane Austen of the 6 main novels, what's your ranking? Did it change with this reread?

I had thought mine had stayed the same until I went looking for my thoughts after finishing the original Pemberlittens Readalong. My 5 and 6 swapped this time.⬇️

So excited for my #auldlangspine list from @Singout ! I haven't read ANY of them, although I have read the tagged author before & loved it (Braiding Sweetgrass), so I'll probably start there.

Top right shows books I already owned (and/or purchased recently), & bottom right shows books I'm interested in.

Books #2, #5, #6 & #12 aren't appealing to me at mo, but might later in the year! 🤣

Thanks @monalyisha for another 👍 match!

March 2025 Book #6
This is the second book in Tuya (All Yours) duology. Liked it but not loved it. The beginning was so slow and it was about flies if you have any kind of phobia with this insect, this book is not for you. It was interesting to know about this insect but this is not a nonfiction book. You will hate Inés who has l, let‘s say a different personality😬but half way of the book, it changed and kept attention with good twists⬇️

March 2025 Book #4
I really enjoyed this book about two families and the matriarchal way to raise their families. So different. During my reading I was mad with Mrs Willoughby and more in the side of Mrs. Fowler. But then you follow each family, their sons and daughters through their lives and you will understand each side of the story. This is really a story about family dynamics and each and changes in each generation. So well written and⬇️
