#Read2025 #Wardens2025

This started out with vibes of the ‘90‘s 🎥 ‘She‘s All That‘ (starring Freddie Prinze Jr. & Sarah Leah Cook) but, not quite. I was pleasantly surprised.

I enjoyed the characters & the story. A lighter/fluffier read👍🏻 I may carry on with the rest of this series as Libby has the available in ebook.

We‘re starting the #KindredSpiritsChristmas buddy read on Saturday! I‘ll post daily with quotes or thoughts about each story, and links to read online when applicable. If you‘re not tagged but you‘d like to be, just let me know. 😊

The first story is “The Genesis of the Doughnut Club,” a Thanksgiving tale that‘s actually NOT in the tagged collection. It can be found here: https://www.online-literature.com/lucy_montgomery/1907-1908/17/

For years now, I‘ve just been logging the books I‘ve read and not writing reviews, and I want to change that. Call it an early New Year‘s resolution, but I‘m going to try and start posting here again with thoughts on the books I‘ve read!

I‘m so out of the loop now—who are people I should be following?

Suet624 Find books that you‘ve liked and follow those folks who liked the book too. 😊 5h
TieDyeDude I try to write a little something for anything I read. I've searched Goodreads sometimes and found that I read a book, but didn't review and remember nothing about it 😕 I'll check out the suggestion at the top of the home page sometimes, but mostly, like @Suet624 said, I'll go to the page for a specific book and look at who else posted about it. 4h
Merethebookgal @TieDyeDude I totally forgot about the suggestion option in the top left! And yes I‘ll check out my fave books, too 59m

I enjoyed this short novella prequel to the Partials series, about one of the cyborg-esque people of the series title. I don‘t remember Heron having a POV in the books and she‘s a really intriguing character so it was fun to learn more about her past. She turns out to be pivotal to the history of her people because the humans designed and trained her to be too smart for them.

Loving the #AuldLangSpine list from @willaful
I had already started the tagged, but haven‘t read any of the others! But I‘ve enjoyed the other Poirot mysteries I‘ve read and have wanted to read more Pratchett since reading a novella in a collection earlier this year. And I think Tom Lake looks good. Going to see what my library has available and then plan from there!

Thanks again to @monalyisha for her matchmaking skills!

willaful Sorry I didn't think about my putting books late in a series. 🙄 Doesn't matter with the Poirot book though. 23h
CBee Tom Lake is wonderful 💚 23h
shortsarahrose @willaful - no worries! It just means that it‘s a good series to start! 23h

Ruthiella Going Postal is a really good place to start with the Discworld! It totally can stand alone. And if you love it, you can go back and read the series either in publication date order or by subseries: the City Watch books or the Witches books or the Death books, etc. 👍 22h
shortsarahrose @Ruthiella love that! Thanks! 19h
BookmarkTavern Going Postal is a fantastic place to start! It was my second ever Discworld! You are in for such a treat! And Roger Ackroyd is one of Christie‘s best, I think! (edited) 19h
shortsarahrose @BookmarkTavern Yay! I really enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express and Death on the Nile, so I already love Poirot and definitely need to read more with him! 19h

Mehso-so

I wanted to love this one, but it never pulled me in as completely as I'd hoped. It felt like the action was just around the corner and something was always just about to happen. I enjoyed the wrold building and it's obviously very inspired by Narnia, but it was very slow. I still enjoyed it, but not enough to dive into the next book. I think this one would be a better fit for Middle Grade, which it's geared towards.

willaful Have you read The Lost Story? I loved it. 1d
AvidReader25 @willaful No, but I loved The Wishing Game! Adding it to my TBR immediately. 20h
BookmarkTavern Absolutely seconding the recommendation for The Lost Story! 19h
AvidReader25 @BookmarkTavern oh good! Now I‘m hoping I get it for Christmas. 😊 56m
