About to start this on Libby Audio for my December #bookspin

What in the what is happening!? It's almost 2026!!! Unreal!!
HUGE thank you to all of you for spinning with me in 2025!! Later this month I'll post a reminder for the giveaway. But for now, it's time to look forward - every year I start my tag list over so that I can clear out inactive users. So if you would like to be tagged for this challenge next year, please let me know in this post, and I'll add you to the 2026 (!!!!) Tag List!!

Finally putting up my December #BookSpin / #ReadYourKindle lists and my #BookSpinBingo board. I was struggling to locate seasonal stickers, but I‘m sure I will find some as soon as I post this. 😅 I carried over my unused free spaces for the year. Going to try for a blackout board but I‘ve never done that before 😂

This story of two mothers and their families held me captivated. I felt for Mrs. Fowler, and I came to care for Mrs. Willoughby, too. The last chapter was exactly the ending I needed. I can see myself picking this one again in another year or two. Classic Persephone!
This was my February #BookSpin pick.

Started my #bookspin book this morning. It sounds like an awful topic, but so far it‘s quite lovely.

#BookSpinBingo #BingoBoard December and Christmas are some of my favorite times of the year. I have so much to look forward to this month!

I'm definitely looking forward to reading my #BookSpin, but with the way my life has been going lately, I'm not sure about my #DoubleSpin, The Darkest Night. I've already finished the first book on my December list, Enid Blyton's Christmas Stories, and I'm hoping to get at least one #BookSpinBingo this month, even if I don't manage to finish both books.

What an exciting political thriller!
The best part of the book were the characters. I loved the two main characters, Kostas and Jessica. Sometimes in thrillers characters can take a backseat to the action of the story, but not here. They were well developed and I loved their bond.
The story was well crafted. It was fast paced and had short chapters.
Full review: https://oddandbookish.wordpress.com/2025/12/03/review-running-with-the-gods/

A moving story, with a little too much repetition as it was told from various PsOV. But, and not to sound cold hearted, I was a little annoyed with Mary Kaye. If you sprain your ankle and your entire leg swells the next day get thee immediately to the ER, do not pass Go, don't even stop for a red light; you don't wait for your doctor's appt the next day.
