I meant to do another book post a while back so now you get January through May. I set a goal on Goodreads to read 50 books this year.
So far I am keeping pace but I do have to say that I have granted myself the grace to put books down. I used to plow on through books that didn’t hook me right away (and usually was glad that I did) but lately with the crazy year it’s been I just want to read something I like. So if it doesn’t grab me in the first few chapters- adios. And I am the first to admit that I have put down books that others have raved about so who knows. I will add my “dnf” (did not finish) books last.
I really liked this one and gave it 4 stars. I am not an empty nester yet but I do have two kiddos that are out of the house so I could relate to this story and the pull of the days when they were younger. Very good thriller.
This is another 4 star for me. It’s about a true crime podcaster (which I also love). Good solid twisty thriller!
I was on a roll with 4 stars thrillers. This one was a bit creepy but really good.
I liked the story of this early on and it was fast and easy. 3 stars.
I was excited to start this one but it was only a 3 star for me. I still enjoyed it.
You know how you can sometimes figure out how things will end or at least partially figure it out? This one was not one of those. 4 stars.
I was really looking forward to reading this one because I love Colleen Hoover books but this one just didn’t do it for me. 3 stars.
I really liked this one. Probably could have given it 5 stars but I’m kinda stingy with those. 4 stars.
This was a quick and easy read. 4 stars.
Wow. I put 4 stars for this one as well but really should have been a 5. No words, just read it. As one reviewer said “Warning: Verity is not going to melt your heart. It’s going to fry your soul.”
Clearly I am into the thrillers this year. This one did not disappoint. 4 stars.
I liked this one. Very Agatha Christie-ish. 4 stars
I really liked this one going in. Ended up giving it a 3. Still worth the read.
I am a big fan of Lisa Jewell and this one did not disappoint. 4 stars.
This one was a 3 for me. Felt kinda slow.
Riley Sagers books are always super interesting. This one was just a 3 for me.
Another 4 star Lisa Jewell
I would call this one Medium Summer. 3 stars.
Ok now for my did not finish list. A LOT of people loved these so I am sure it is just me lol. Listing them here because who knows, maybe I will come back to them.
So there you have it. School is done next week and then Summer reading will be in full swing!

I love your reading lists. Your lists give me a list of books to get from the library. Thank you for making these posts.

I am so glad you like it. I download the books to my kindle from the library if they have them. Only problem is when they all come in at once!

I’m a bit late to the party, but I’ve been reading Michelle Obama’s book. Really loving it!
