January 2025 #BookSpinBingo
Cold, snowy weather gave me lots of reading time! I completed several MG books for the Truman preliminary list as well as several other books. I think my favorite was our #LitsyBookClub pick The Book of Doors. I‘ve also continued our long #NoPlaceLikeHolmes read and started a couple new long reads for this year. I‘m thoroughly enjoying A Tree a Day for #NaturaLitsy.

My official reading stats for 2024
As of today, these 12 books are the ones I continue to think about the most. The top row includes #1001books, #LitsyBookClub reads, a #CampLitsy read, and 1 reread for a #ShardlakeBR. I tend to focus on first time reads for my year end list, but rereading the Shardlake series must be included. The bottom row are all fantastic middle grade reads.

“Man cannot live without nature. He needs air to breathe, water to drink, fruit to eat. But nature is quite able to live without man. Which proves just how superior it is to us”.

pickSome parts of this book are stories of the horrors of the Holocaust that we‘ve read many times, but the way in which they are woven with the story of the impact of those events on the children and grandchildren of survivors make it unique.

Re-reading this profound book for #LitsyBookClub
I listened to it earlier in the year for #EuropaCollective
This is a book that‘s going to stay with me a long time.
Anne Berest and her sister have a new book, Gabriële, about their great grandmother, coming out next year and I‘m going to put a high on my TBR
pickThis was more historical romance than I was expecting, but I enjoyed it. Nena is the daughter of a Mexican rancher as Anglos from the north threaten their way of life. At the same time, another supernatural danger reappears and a man from her past returns. These were a different kind of vampire, and I wanted a few more answers in the end, but it was a great October read.

I plan to read Home Before Dark and Empire of Wild. Just finished Practical Magic.

pickAfter reading Bright Young Women, I‘m glad to have also read this memoir. This is a story of survival and strength from a woman who not only survived an attack by Ted Bundy but two life threatening medical diagnoses as well. Her story starts slowly and is sometimes repetitive, but it also makes important points and speaks for the women attacked and murdered.
