#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. 1w

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⭐️ 4w

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.

CloakNQuill 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. 4mo
TheAromaofBooks Yay!!!! Fabulous progress!!!! 4mo

This one was waiting for me to be read. An oldie in my tbr☺️

In general I liked this YA thriller but some parts and twists are pretty predictable. This is a novel published in 2016 and I don‘t think there is a sequel but with that ending...? 🤔who knows...

3⭐️I like that creepy cover😳🤷🏽‍♀️😂

I‘m not sure I believe it will be August in just a few days, but on the off chance I‘m wrong I went ahead and wrote a #bookspin list for @TheAromaofBooks since it‘s not your fault the time gods are playing tricks on me 🤣😅☺️💛

peanutnine I love your categories! Especially #20 😅 6mo
IndoorDame @peanutnine yes, I have a shocking amount of #20 🫣🤫 6mo
TheAromaofBooks For real, where is time going!?!? 😂 6mo
dabbe #20: 😂😂😂 6mo
IndoorDame @dabbe the spin gods haven‘t actually picked that one yet this year. They seem very in line with my own sensibilities and keep having me choose books based on things like the book spines and the cover art… that susceptibility of mine is probably part of why #20 exists at all 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️ 6mo
