I was not ready and did not anticipate the emotional currents that would follow me throughout my time with, Where the Crawdads Sings—such an unexpected surprise. It tugged at my heart strings, and it made me angry, happy, hopeful, empathetic. 4/5

Yellow Wife was a fast-paced read. Set during the time of slavery, it is a story of resilience, hope, and sacrifice. 3.75/5

I could not, however, wait to start the next book in the ACOTAR series.

A Court of Mist and Fury was…🥵 Although the ending was a bit wth-ish, I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book and the author’s ability to intricately weave together the plot, passion, and the storytelling. 4.25/5

Here is book 30/30 of my 2025 reading goal. I, of course, will not be stopping at 30.

The Lion Women of Tehran was an inspiring read—a book of hope, survival, perseverance, and courage. 4/5 read for me.

Since reading book one, I was anxiously awaiting this next book. I haven’t been this excited about a book series since Hunger Games.

Oh how I really enjoyed reading, A Court of Thorns and Roses- I did not find it to be slow paced at all as some have stated. I cannot wait to read the second book in the series. 4.25/5 for me. 💙📚 #booksky

Until then, here is book 28/30 of my 2025 reading goal:

If you enjoy a good tearjerker; a book laced with heart, humor, and compassion, I highly recommend reading, A Man Called Ove. Yes I cried, but I also laughed. 4.5/5 for me. 💙📚 #booksky

I am again late to the party with my next read. Nevertheless,

Red Rising was not for me - the arrogant tone of the main character annoyed me. Also, too many characters introduced with no solid relation to the overall plot. First book I’ve ever DNF’d at 90%. 30 pages left and I couldn’t take it anymore. 1/5 for me.

Everything is Tuberculosis was an enlightening, eye opening, heart wrenching read. Most of John Green’s books tend to tug at my heartstrings, and this was no different. 4/5 for me.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue missed the mark for me: delayed resolution, repetitive language and storyline, holes in the plot (imho). There were high points, but overall it was a 2.5/5 for me.

I FINALLY finished reading, 11/22/63 by Stephen King—after 850 pages and a month and a half—it is done. My first foray into a Stephen King book and my goodness, it did not disappoint- a story of time travel, love, and sacrifice. A solid 5/5. 💙📚 #booksky

The Cleopatra Cipher was a heart pounding, action packed, book that kept me on the edge of my seat. If you enjoyed The DaVinci Code, you’ll enjoy this one. 3.5/5

At 850 pages, this behemoth, book 22/30 is accompanying me on my upcoming holiday trip to Europe: Stephen King’s 11/22/63.

Keeper of Enchanted Rooms was a cute, whimsical read. Although it is riddled with a slow start, and a head-scratching plot, I rather enjoyed the story. 3.75/5 for me.

Similar to the other books in the series, Percy Jackson - The Titan’s Curse, is a heart pumping adventure filled with surprises. 4.5/5

The House of Eve was a rich historical read that so effortlessly captured the story of black women in the 1950s. The storytelling was sharp, intricately woven, and inviting. 3.5/5 for me.
