I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

I discovered another great coffee shop in town last weekend. I went there right after picking up this new book from the bookstore! I couldn't resist it...for obvious reasons! ☺️📚💕

DNF- I‘m sorry the first five chapters with fear, rape, killing, and forcing women to be striped were a bit much. The the cruelty in which they treated most of the women, except Cynthia was hard to read, and then the death of so many of their men and their family was depressing. The next five chapter is getting the chapter 10 I was having trouble focusing. Maybe someone else will enjoy this one.

3/5⭐️ (Good)
I liked the puzzles, the premise and the twist at the end but it was very YA. I don‘t care about the love triangle. The supposed reason for the game was kind of lame in my opinion. Still, it has hooked me enough that I will continue with the series

This is my book for #I so I‘ve now competed #LitsyAtoZ @Texreader

One more to check off the #10BeforeTheEnd list too @ChaoticMissAdventures

mcctrish I did it on audio and I think I will listen to the next one - it was an entertaining listen but very YA 1w
kspenmoll Yay!!! Impressive that you fulled this challenge! 1w
Sace @mcctrish I had a free book reward from ThriftBooks and I used it for the second book. I had sort of convinced myself I didn‘t need to continue but I got to the surprise at the end and decided I had to keep going. 😂 1w

Still Dreaming / Seguimos Soando | Claudia Guadalupe Martinez

“Claudia Guadalupe Martínez‘s gentle, poetic text offers just enough language to anchor the reader emotionally and historically within the journey. By telling the story through a child‘s voice, she brings a subtle intimacy to a moment of historical trauma that turns the political into something deeply personal.”

This was a fun read. It was an epic end to a series. It was full of laughs and good humor. This is a great book to read after a long day. And I finished the audiobook perfectly by turning on the radio and listening to Huntrix‘s Golden, after a long day of dashing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

When I started reading this book, it reminded me a lot of Poltergeist (film). Here is a memoir from the 1980s in Crosby, TX: when a family unknowingly moves into a new subdivision that was built over a historical Black cemetery, they quickly find themselves in an unreal situation. I couldn‘t help but be reminded of how many Black communities have been destroyed and covered up (Central Park, Lake Lanier, etc).

Thatbooknerd Shown: when you look up Black Hope Cemetery on Google Earth Street View, a street and suburb comes up. There is no sign that a cemetery ever was. Below: possibly the only photo ever taken of the cemetery before it was bulldozed. 3w

Read this for the mystery book club I help lead at work, but as rural noir, it works for the #christmascrimechallenge as well! It's very good and I'm sure I'll read the rest of the trilogy at some point.

Ruthiella Excellent! 🎄🔪🎅🏻💀 I‘ve only read “The Cutting Season” by her and I‘ve long meant to read more. 3w
