I loved book 10 in this series. Not only is it New Year‘s in New York with all the usual sights, but characters from the previous books are also in NYC. You get updates on where those characters are in their lives in such a nice way. It was really very well done.

I've decided to try #BookSpin and #BookSpinBingo again. I saw someone's idea of having two lists, and I think that will be great for me. My spin list will be books I own to try to encourage me to read those and my bingo will be criteria for the group I help run, the spins, and the Cosmere read-through I'm doing with my partner. I don't read 25 books a month and the bingo is just for fun, so I've broken it up to make it work for me. :)

I thought this was an interesting audiobook. It looks at tv and film and how things have changed over time.

4.5⭐️ holy hell, what a ride. Let‘s start with please check your trigger warnings. I get that it‘s a dark romance, but some of the “villains” scenes can be a little much. This is a dark romance/thriller book and it kept me on the edge of my seat. The only reason it doesn‘t have a higher score was because a lot of the spice took over some of the plot. Mind you I loved all the spice. I just could‘ve used some more backstory. #BookSpin #BookSpinBingo

I have read some of this series, and not others, so I decided I would start with the 1st one in the Kate Burkholder Series and read them all in order. This way, I figure I will not skip one.

This was poorly written, the pacing was off, it was front loaded with exposition and it was boring.

I never got to experience this sweeping, technological advanced empire, every location was small and insular and could have been anywhere.

PuddleJumper 1. It wasn't a space opera, or even really scifi, it was YA romance in space.

The romance was awful. The characters had no chemistry and I didn't like Gal, I never understood what Ettian saw in him and why he was willing to sacrifice so much for him.

PuddleJumper 2. There's also the ‘he's the son and heir to the empire that colonised your home and killed your people‘ angle which felt icky.

This is a memoir of the author‘s time profiling serial killers and violent criminals. It‘s informative but far from prefect. The author spends a bit too much time boasting of his accomplishments. I think it helps to keep in mind this was published in 1993. I have a high tolerance for tragedy, but I have to admit I was a bit disturbed at times with the constant barrage of violent stories told in the author‘s direct and somewhat dispassionate style!

This book is such a hidden gem!

It showcases 50 different “hidden” libraries from all around the world (plus outer space). Every library profile tells you how to find it (if applicable, some are no longer around and some are not open to the public). Also, all the photos have captions which I appreciated.

Loved this so much! Vera is a wonderful character, and the cast of suspects, though they were all hiding something, were just as great. This was very entertaining! I‘m so glad there‘s another Vera book coming out this year!
