That was a fun read! I‘m not usually a fan of reality TV, but this exceeded my expectations. I just wish the villain had gotten the brutal downfall he deserved. It gets pretty spicy, but nothing degrading or dark. Book #20 in 2025

Yay for my February #readyourkindle choices. I‘ve had some of these on my kindle for a while. The #20 choice was a NetGalley read so I chose the one that is due soonest. Thanks @TheAromaofBooks

rwmg Two excellent authors I see there: Aliette de Bodard, who really deserves to be better known, and Martha Wells. 2mo

#ThreeListThursday @dabbe

Impossible to resist a “greatest books” list.

I‘ve read 56 of the 100 books which puts me, at the moment, at #20 on the list.

Favorites include the tagged book—love it and The Fellowship of the Rings—as well as I Want My Hat Back (love Klassen), American Born Chinese, and The Graveyard Book.

Books I would add: The Lightning Thief (first Percy Jackson), Stuck (Oliver Jeffers), & The Monster at the End of this Book.

TracyReadsBooks @dabbe I benefitted from working in a school library for many years! Fun to revisit some favorites…some of which I still reread when I want to spend time with a great story. 3mo

Book 8 read this month. Short novella (96 pages). Two time lines: past, Ashley Smith, an American student, her experiences when was invited by a college “friend” Emma Chapman‘s, to spend Christmas at her house. There Ashley will fall in love and will know about a crime recently committed in the area. Present time, Ashley diary is read by someone. How these 2 time lines are connected?
I really liked the twists that occurred here. ⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) That ending remind me at some point The Kind Worth Killing but the conclusion is for those who liked Behind Her Eyes which I didn‘t like much. So I have mixed feelings with this story but I liked the way it was developed. 3/3.5⭐️ 3mo

July 2024 Book #9 last book read this month

Last book in Illumbe trilogy. Each book is developed in Illumbe but they are not direct sequence. In this book the story is about Nerea Arruti, an investigator. She maintained a secret lover, an accident occurred and everything turns complicated with the presence of a gang of criminals. Was her lover related with this gang? ⬇️

Gissy I liked the action, the twists but I didn‘t like the ending. I saw that ending so male opportunistic, manipulative leaving the protagonist like she is co dependent to this man. But is my interpretation because this novel has high rating. But no way I will be happy with that ending🤷🏽‍♀️3⭐️
I will rate the trilogy 3.5/3.75 ⭐️As a whole

WE DID IT!! 🎉 🎉 🎉 @TheAromaofBooks #bookspinbingo

#19 Sleep Tight 4.0 ⭐ 25 Sept
Finding a serial killer with an unreliable MC involving a house of horrors in a town called Twisted Tree. Checked all the boxes for me. Strong writing that brought further the atmosphere.

#20 Phantasma 4.5 ⭐ 28 Sept
The horror, Ophelia's development, adrenaline rich high stakes competition & we can't forget the 🌶️🌶️🌶️. Probably one of my favorites of the year.

Aconight Only reason it didn‘t get 5✨ was because I DESPISE a hot/cold relationship. It doesn‘t add much to the romance & has me dislike the characters. 6mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!!! Fabulous progress!!!! 6mo
