The Secret Library of Hanna Reeves: A Novel | Christine Nolfi

so-so

I really wanted to like this book, but it ended up being just… boring. I kept waiting for the story to build toward something meaningful. The tension around Claire‘s snooping had so much potential, but nothing ever materialized. Even the dinner scene with Faye and Tamron was perfect setup for some drama— it fell completely flat. The ending was underwhelming and the whole book felt like wasted potential. Book #97 in 2025 ⭐️⭐️

Compelling, heartbreaking, and very impactful. I did not see that end coming! Betrayal, double crossing, and deep rooted mistrust. Such a fantastic book. Book #97 in 2024

When Twilight Breaks | Sarah Sundin

22 #97 I really enjoy Sarah Sundin‘s books. Clean. Well written. Maybe a little romancy but no sex scenes so I can deal.

This was an unexpected delight. At first, I wasn‘t sure about it, but once it got going, it was great. A short, funny read.

Bewitched: Betwixt & Between Book Two | Darynda Jones

21 #97 As I said I am not into witches and such. But I kinda liked the first book in this series. This one was much more witchy and weird. And worse …a bad romance. Every encounter with the love interest said “heat pooled in my abdomen.” So bad. Won‘t be continuing with this one.

It‘s too small to read but I‘ve set my list for #Roll100 in 2022. Realistically, I‘m hoping for at least a 50% completion rate since I know there will be other books, both old and new, to tempt me in the New Year!

Graywacke I really like your list - well the titles I can make. Are you starting with #1? (I was going to suggest #97…but I can‘t read #1) 4y

Ruthiella @Graywacke Litsy totally needs a zoom function! 😅 No. 1 is London Belongs To Me by Norman Collins. I loved My Antonia so much, more Cather is definitely called for. I will read as called out by @PuddleJumper throughout the year. Basically a 100 square bingo board where the goal is a blackout. (edited) 4y

LeahBergen I see The Greengage Summer! 👍 And is that Mariana by Monica Dickens? 4y

Cathythoughts I‘m going to have a better look at your list when I get my first ever iPad for Christmas (🤞🏻 🤶) I can see a lots of exciting books there 4y

Ruthiella @LeahBergen Yes and yes! I tried to make this a good mix of new and old, genre, cozy, challenging and so forth! 😃 4y

Ruthiella @Cathythoughts It is fun list and so many are on it due to recommendations from other readers. I hope Santa brings you that IPad! 🤞 4y

LeahBergen Perfect! 👍 4y

PuddleJumper It looks so clean and organized! 4y

Crazeedi Wow, you're really on top of things for next year! Good for you! I'm so impulsive I dont know if I could do this 4y

Ruthiella @Crazeedi I‘m OK with failure! 😂 4y

Centique I‘ve got a list like this too for each year but not as tidy as this! I love looking at it now, just reading the titles makes me happy - what a list addict I am! Like you, I‘ll let myself go off list though, or I‘ll read a couple of chapters and bail on some. 4y

Ruthiella @Centique Allowing for flexibility is key! 4y

Martha Washington: An American Life | Patricia Brady

pick

This book is from our local library and it was a wonderful read about Martha Washington‘s life. It portrayed her as a strong woman, very empathetic and a fierce protector of her family and especially George. The inclusion of many things about their daily lives were very interesting and made me feel I could understand her better. She loved being a mother. #100YEARS100BOOKS #97 #BookSpinBingo #12 (Bingo!) #TAILSandTALESforADULTS #24 #FIRSTLADIES
