Bookwormjillk I can‘t decide- either We Dream of Space or Beautyland 1d
RaeLovesToRead Lonely castle in the mirror 😭😭😭😭 AMAZING book 24h
LeafingThroughLife Not me putting all these books on my wishlist because I love when a book gives me a good emotional wrecking. 🤣 For me, it‘s a tie between Saving Francesca and City of Tranquil Light. 23h
dabbe For both sad and happy tears, this one ... the only book I gave 5 stars to this year, and it's a comic book. #gofigure 18h
Karisa The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and his Mother)‘s ending made me cry in the best way. So stinking good and did not see it coming at all! Also cried when Francoise‘s grandmother died in My Life with Picasso… I‘m an easy crier! 😅 (edited) 14h

TheBookHippie I read the tagged book with group of teachers for the 20th? time. It‘s banned everywhere here 2d
Karisa 1984 I reread it a couple of months ago. It has been haunting me every time I listen to the news! Creepy 👁️ (edited) 2d
TheBookHippie @Karisa if it helps I read it in 1984 😳🫣 2d

TheBookgeekFrau Trivia: Toni Morrison 2d
TheBookgeekFrau The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. Read it October and LOVED it! 2d
Erinreadsthebooks @TheBookgeekFrau Years ago, that was a book my old school taught in 11th grade English. It was a win all around. The students loved it. The teachers who taught it loved it. I highly doubt they‘re still teaching it with the current crazy state of book banning. 😕 2d
Erinreadsthebooks Currently reading 1984, which is making me think that 2026 should be the year of reading Classics and Modern Classics that have been challenged and banned. 2d

Running with the Gods | Andoni Iapetus

Pickpick

What an exciting political thriller!

The best part of the book were the characters. I loved the two main characters, Kostas and Jessica. Sometimes in thrillers characters can take a backseat to the action of the story, but not here. They were well developed and I loved their bond.

The story was well crafted. It was fast paced and had short chapters.

BookishMarginalia Well… I‘m going to say the In Death series — who doesn‘t love Eve and Roarke, Leonardo and Mavis, Peabody and McNabb…. 3d
TheBookHippie Ummmmmm 😅🫣🤷🏻‍♀️ not my genre. 3d
TheBookgeekFrau Not really a romance, but a damn good love story 3d

Karisa Life with Picasso was written by his longtime lover, Francoise Gilot who was 40 years his junior and suffered his abuse. Also read the Epstein survivor‘s book and 1984… Maybe the opposite of romantic has been my reading theme this year 😂 3d
xicanti I just finished a book where the prince of Christmas and the prince of St Patrick‘s Day fell in love, and it was mostly a little tediously silly but then it got pretty good near the end. Enough so I‘ll probably read the next in the series, where I assume the princess of Easter falls in love with someone. 🤷‍♀️ 3d
Cupcake12 In November I read ‘All wrapped up‘ by Heidi Swan. It was based around a pumpkin festival so a perfect theme for the time of year. I loved the two main characters and would love it to be made into a movie. 3d
julesG @RaeLovesToRead shared the advent calendar prompt on WhatsApp last night. You should team up. 😉 Last finished romance was Christmas Fling. My current fantasy ARC has a romance subplot 3d
RaeLovesToRead I'm currently reading Get a Life, Chloe Brown, so probably that! Not really my genre though 😅 3d
PurpleyPumpkin I‘m not a huge romance fan, but I‘ve actually read a couple on this bookshelf! 3d
Deblovestoread I‘m currently listening to this one. Not my usual genre but funny and spicy. 3d
LeafingThroughLife I‘m not a huge romance reader, but this year I loved the romance in 23h

👆 has seriously been the energy of my books lately. My current read *might* be a bit over a 4 star, otherwise, the last 4 have been 5 stars:
*Robert Harris: Munich
*Nat Cassidy: When the Wolf Comes Home
*Lucy Rose: Lamb
“Samantha Downing: Too Old for This
I honestly don't recall the last time I had a streak of 5 star reads. Feel truly blessed 💙📚💙📚

Ruthiella That‘s awesome! Long may it last! 4d
vivastory @Ruthiella Thanks, friend! But it seems like a fluke 😭😭 Although I do have the next discworld book ready and it's one I've been very excited for -Mort💀 4d
Hooked_on_books I love it when that happens! 4d

AnneCecilie I find that good books usually comes after each other. You start with one and then the next few is also amazing. I don‘t really know why that happens 4d
AmyG Awesome! Usually happens to me at the end of the year. May it only continue! 4d
Reggie Enjoy it man. I love when I‘m on a streak. 1d
