My TBR for next month‘s #scarathlon2022. It may change if some of the books don‘t come in from the library in time.

I‘ve heard good things about the C.J. Box series by Joe Pickett so I hope it‘s good.

I really enjoyed this one and learned a lot about the Deaf community. I listened to the audio whenever I was working and it was unique. Whenever the narrator read a part that was signed in the book, she signed and read at the same time. The audio changes a little so you could tell when the narrator was signing. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Her mother was an abuser in so many ways and I feel like Jennette‘s life could have been completely different if her mother wasn‘t in the picture. Mental abuse, physical abuse, an eating disorder encouraged by her mother, she didn‘t get the childhood she deserved and that played a major part in how things progressed for her as an adult. I applaud Jennette‘s openness about her life and the struggles she endured. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My #20in4 stats ☺️

Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Verity was technically my first Colleen Hoover book but November 9 is the first I've read from her romance collection. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this one since I've heard her books are very emotional. Well, this book was just wonderful and I loved it.

As I was about 75% through the book, I thought I had the ending figured out but then there was a twist and that made the story even better.

I was browsing the August new releases on Goodreads and I saw this and immediately put it on my TBR. I loved the original five of the Stillhouse Lake Series and I‘m so glad that the series will be continued!

August TBR — lots of thrillers 😁

July wrap-up

My favorites were House of Sky and Breath and Ace of Spades. I adored the whole Heartstopper series 😊

I dislike the narrator for this book

June Wrap Up

Favorites: Triptych, Heartstopper Vol. 2, and Blood Sugar

Time for another round of #20in4. I forgot to post an update last month so hopefully I remember this time.

Currently working on Delilah Green Doesn‘t Care and Bones to Ashes. I plan on reading Heartstopper Vol. 2 as well 😊

May Wrap Up…

My favorites were The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Finlay Donovan is Killing It, and The Elephant in the Room

I have several books I‘d like to finish before the end of the month — not sure that will happen though. Definitely want to finish Dracula, A Shot at Normal, and Finlay Donovan is Killing it.

April Wrap-Up

My favorites were Instructions for Dancing, From a Whisper to a Rallying Cry, and Not Here to Be Liked

🌟🌟🌟🌟 1/2

I would have never known about this story if this hadn‘t been required reading for a committee I‘m on. The crime itself was disgusting and the “punishment” was a disgrace. The family and friends of Vincent Chin were relentless in their quest for justice and it was inspiring to see something come from their hard work.

Claudia & Monday have always been best friends. When the new school year starts and Monday isn‘t there, Claudia worries something happened to her. As she tries to convince the adults in her life that Monday is missing, no one takes her seriously.

I couldn‘t put this one down. It goes back and forth between two different timelines and was a page turner. I love when I have no idea how a story will end, it keeps me invested.

March Goals for #bfc2022

Wrap-Up for the month

I have to read a lot of middle grade and YA over the next few months for a committee I‘m on ☺️

Favorites of the month: Firekeeper‘s Daughter and Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone

Time for another #20in4 readathon 😄

Yesterday was 3:19

I‘m working on 3 books - Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, This Might Hurt, and The Girl in the Mist

Time for another #20in4 readathon 😄

I‘m working on 3 books - Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone, This Might Hurt, and The Girl in the Mist

Genre: Mystery/Thriller
Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I finished this one last week and I absolutely loved it. This was Angeline Boulley‘s debut novel and she knocked it out of the park. While it is a standalone, I do wish it was at least a duology so I could have more story.

Even though this was a mystery/thriller, I really enjoyed reading about the different tribal traditions in regards to everyday life.

Forgot to post my TBR for the month. A Fire Sparkling and Tips for Living are my #roll100 reads for the month.

January Wrap-Up

Favorites were Looking for Alaska and Beyond Reach

I‘m going to stick with the same goals this month

January recap

I read 11 books, only met my water goal towards the end of the month, and I did manage to work out 4x a week 🙌🏾🙌🏾

#bfc2022

My #20in4 stats

I finished two in-progress books (Break No Bones and Beyond Reach) and a middle grade graphic novel.
