pickAugust 2025 Book #5
Danielle inherited a house and when she visited, she realized that a ghost lives in her house. This ghost asks Danielle‘s help to find out how he died. It is a simple story that reminded me The Ghost and Mrs Muir and the tv show Ghost Whisperer. Since I liked those two stories maybe that‘s why I enjoyed this book, a soft pick that I needed. Let‘s see what happens in book 2. 3⭐️

I needed a quick, driving around book the last few days to finish a Kindle Challenge so I picked this holiday novella reread from my Kindle library. It makes me want to read the whole Half-Moon Hollow & Jane Jameson series again.
@CBee my January #ReadYourKindle list
DNFed one for December. This challenge has helped me so much in 2025. To the point I may or may not be neglecting my physical books. Hoping to find a good balance in the new year.
May 2026 be filled with more unhinged possessive men, magically page turners & eerie gothic atmospheres. 💕 Happy new years #Littens !
so-soI was entertained by reading this but it felt very mid. I think part of it is because I'm not very knowledgeable about late 90s Russian culture. I did like the idea of a treaty between Light and Dark and keeping the balance and the overall theme of Destiny.
Photo time: 12:30 AM. Middle child is off to Seoul. I had to take them down to the city to fly out of LAX. Much more pleasant drive at midnight than midday. I got home at 3:30 am and I suppose I might not sleep until he tells me they are on the plane. (The tagged book is a Korean light novel I read a couple years ago when the anime dropped. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 😊)
#12booksof2025 Didn‘t have any best of the year books in June. I started the Soulless series on audio & loved it. Just a fun story with adventure & romance. I‘ve listened to 3 of 5 in the series & will finish it next year. @TheEllieMo
Here is my final bracket for 2025!
My top 5 reads are:
1. The Inheritance by Ilona Andrews
2. When the Wolves Come Home by Nat Cassidy
3. The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell
4. Vera Wong‘s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers by Jesse Q. Sutanto
5. Bonded in Death by J. D. Robb
pickThis is a great follow up to Live Girls. This book is swimming with violence and sex. A lot of nonconsensual sex. These vampires are brutal. I really loved the addition of the two investigators, Karen and Keogh, to the story. I know these two make an appearance in Bestial, but I don't know if they show up in any other books. I hope so, because they are great characters.
my #serieslove2026 goals - I already own part or all of each
…some are carrying over from 2025 (I have made good headway with Throne of Glass thanks to #LittensLoveSJM)
I‘m on Mercy Thompson book 5/14 and have been eating those up.
Rivers of London I own half of but haven‘t started.
Kay Scarpetta I only read 1 book from this year, and I‘m reading 1 now (#21) I own the next 3 and then I‘ll decide if it‘s worth continuing
