pick57/100 One thing I like about John Constantine is he's consistent, he's always going to #$%@ thing up, probably kill some people, destroy some lives, drink and smoke A LOT, then come out on top in the end. The idea of a married Constantine is mind blowing, but if anyone could handle him, it seems to be Epiphany. 4/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pickWhen I started reading this, I wasn‘t sure it was going to be my sort of thing. But by then end, I was so invested in the characters, willing Gail to not let me down (she didn‘t!). This short novel is an exquisite exploration for relationships and forgiveness. I adored it.

pickAnother fabulous story in this series. I loved the found family, grumpy sunshine vibes. I especially had empathy for the MMC and thought his character elevated the story. 4.5⭐️

pick55 & 56/100 Dungeons & Dragons was definitely one of my all time favorite Saturday morning cartoons, even though I was a little old for cartoons when it came out. I enjoyed seeing the characters again, still trying to get home, still fighting against Venger. The twist ending of vol 2 wasn't that big a surprise, but it was touching none the less. 3.75/5 ⭐ #Read2025 #SeriesLove2025
pick54/100 Alternate history has always been my favorite subgenre of science fiction, and few writers do it better than Turtledove. What if Truman used the atomic bomb to end the war in Korea? The results are horrific, and this is only the first book of the trilogy. Moscow, Kiev, Leningrad, Portland, Seattle and Los Angles gone up in atomic mushrooms. I did find it a little unrealistic that that much radiation from this destruction wasn't killing ⬇️
so-so53/100 I did enjoy the world building and the unique alien species, but I found the ending disappointing and vague. I am assuming the author plans a sequel, because this was left too open to really qualify as a conclusion. Too many unanswered questions, too many dangling plot points. If there is a sequel, I'd probably read it just to see what happens to the friendroe. 3.5/5 #Read2025 #LitsySciFiBookClub
panI was expecting a feelgood story about mother-daughter relationships and “found family”, but what I got was a woman who sees ghosts, superficial relationships and a confused and confusing story. This one wasn‘t for me, sadly.

pickA soft pick. This is fundamentally a thriller hing on the hook of the original Sweetpea novel. Sweetpea had originally that subsequent books on the series naturally can‘t match, but it‘s still a good read.

pickA slow-build Gothic novel that took me in a direction I wasn‘t expecting it to go in.

pickAfter nearly bailing on this series after two disappointing books I found this a great improvement, and a nice bit of escapist fun.
