My February TBR. Icebreaker is my #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks . Looks like not a lot of knitting unless I can find the audio of some of these on Libby.

Xmas gift card book haul.

January 2025 Reads: 11 books. Most favorite was Incidents Around The House. Loved the audio with the kid narrator voice. Not so into Ordinary Human Failings.

This was a crappy story of a little kid being followed by a demon.

February #bookspin list. Mostly made up of books to be finished or series to be finished. @TheAromaofBooks

A preschool teacher is killed and the kids drink blood. Who did it? Really funny and entertaining. Read for a Facebook group.

I can‘t believe that it‘s time to think about February TBR! I am still reading my #Roll100 for January. I am DNFing one from January, The Young Widower‘s Handbook, since it has been on my shelf a while and did not pick it as my next physical read. For February, my picks are The Teacher, The Maze Cutter, and Ice Like Fire. @PuddleJumper

This was a very creepy read. Love the characters and descriptions

This is a thrilling read with family secrets and a glitzy setting. Erin hasn‘t seen her family in 10 years and is looking for a reunion at her Christmas Party, but one thing, a dead body is found at the end of the night.

n this second book, Beth‘s adventures continue, and we get to know the characters and setting of Benedict even more. In this installment, dead bodies, mysterious satellite residents of town, and mute children are popping up all over the place. I found the mystery less compelling this time

This is not an authoritarian creed on the evils of smartphones. What this book addresses is the next seemingly obvious question - if you detox from screens, how are you entertaining yourself? You probably don't have a great answer and neither did I. This is one reason kids refuse to leave their screens. This is at the core of why adults are often worse than kids with their screen addictions. People just don't know what to do with their free time.

I absolutely love the feel and atmosphere of this book! I love the gothic, historical fiction feel. I also found it to be quite confusing. I do love Ruby Vaughn's character and had a great time reading this. enjoyed this! I did not realize it was the second in a series, and I do think the first book would have helped this one make more sense. I will definitely go back and get caught up!

I read this one for #bookspin. It‘s on the shortlist for #tournamentofbooks. It is an interesting story of a teenage alien in the 1990s and early 2000s, learning to be human.

My first read of 2025 in the books! This was a nice light read about forbidden magic and baking jam.

January #roll100 picks. Not sure how I feel about this selection, but read it or DNF we will see. At least we are going to get stuff off the shelf. @PuddleJumper

I am so indecisive this coming month on what to read. Looking forward to this new year. #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

My christmas present from hubby is full. Maybe should have gotten the 5 tier, but I would still need another shelf.

I‘m blowing my year reading goals out of the water.

Another lovely written read by Danielle Steel. A historical fiction set in WW2. A sister turned nurse, turned nun, turned prisoner of war. A great page turner.

This is a third in a series, but can be read as a standalone. Narrated by 12 year old Bly. Her and her mother are out to find their family friend that disappeared 3 years ago. A page turner that is very well written.

This was an interesting story of two set of people in history coming together that you would not think came together. It brought to light how both were prejudiced against.

Planning a tentative TBR for 2025, since I have met my reading goals this year.

Hey, all! I was once on here years ago, but something happened to my old account and was not able to log into it for some reason or other. Hopefully I can remember all my favorite hashtags and activities. Missed this app.
