#Read2025

Finished a few days ago, the 4th book from the #AuldLangSpine list of @JacqMac & another really good one that‘s on the dark side. (I‘m sensing a pattern… 😱😂 but I like it!) It‘s also my 3rd pick for February‘s #Roll100 (#42 Any Mystery-although it‘s more dystopian horror thriller than mystery). Bizarre & very brutal murders start happening in every state & a few days later the killers start to mobilize & start reading the names of ⬇️

DebinHawaii …those to be killed on the Emergency Broadcast System. Told from the POV of the husband & father, a family goes in the run when complete madness seems to have taken over. That madness seems to be related to an aurora borealis event that affected those that watched with this urge to kill. It‘s very brutal (if you can‘t read about graphic murders this isn‘t your book) & somewhat disjointed, but that adds to the tension & thrills. ⬇️ (edited) 6d
DebinHawaii … Timing also adds to the chills as with the way the US is currently, it actually feels slightly & uncomfortably plausible. I‘ve somehow only read Dark Matters by Crouch & this is one of his early books, rereleased I think. It‘s not perfect but it certainly kept me tensely reading (& comforting myself with chocolate) & I liked the thrills. (edited) 6d
monalyisha I approve of comfort by chocolate! 6d

Here‘s my #roll100 picks for this month. #6 is Sea Magick. It‘s about the sea and casting spells. #60 is a book about Jews and Pigs. #42 is a book about our brains. #82 is about a book about black fashion designers. I preordered the audiobook for the book about Jews and Pigs. I‘ll be reading that when it gets published but not this month. I will be reading these other books this month though. These are all Netgalley ARCs.

A little late posting my February #Roll100 picks but here goes:

#60 Any Retelling (of Sense and Sensibility-also reading for #Pemberlittens #JaneAustenThenAndNow ) Would work for #6 Any Kindle too since it‘s been in my Kindle TBR a while.

#42 Any Mystery (also reading as part of @JacqMac ‘s #AuldLangSpine list)

#82 Any Non-Fiction (a library e-book loan)

I‘m excited about all 3 of these! 📚

Rearranging my work office, I have acquired a new cabinet/shelf instead of one of those huge black filing cabinets. So I'm spending today curating a mini library to take to work. This brought me to several books that I bought with the intention of self-improvement but never actually read. This is one of those. Not bad, quick read, and has a few nice, quick tips to take to heart to elevate my career. #42-2024

#Women‘s Prize Long & Short List

The books I have read from the long list for the Women‘s Prize have been so hard to read, so dark, sad.

This one is a family drama/coming of age story, narrated in two time lines. Every main character has a dark side in terms that they are not who they project to others, they have secrets, they are full of lies, hurting others. There are some triggers here: suicide, sexual abuse. Some parts are so sad😢⬇️

Gissy (Cont.) But with hope at the end? Each character was looking that cultural identity. I really liked this one. Beautiful! 4/4.5⭐️ 10mo

I grabbed this book on a whim at the bookstore the other day because I love and trust CoHo. Most of the book was SO GOOD, but the ending ruined it. I‘m so flipping mad. Of all the things that could‘ve caused their memory loss I didn‘t see that coming and it was so dumb. Book #42 in 2023
