I fell behind on book reviews due to work keeping me busy before the holidays.

Here are my 2 star reads to end the year. Fortunately not many.

While I pretty much devoured both of these books in like 2 days I would say they’re just 3⭐️ reads. Don’t get me wrong, they’re messy in a fun way but nothing groundbreaking.

Finished this today. It was a 3⭐️ read. Average horror novel. I did not like being in Tolly’s head.

Finished these 2 books between Friday and Saturday.

The Babysitters Coven was a 3⭐️ read. Good plot & action, but nothing spectacular.

Ring Shout was a 4.5⭐️. Hooked me in from chapter 1 and it was a wild ride until the end.

And these are my current reads. This is how I know my reading slump is done. I feel like I will finish Ring Shout within a day or so. That first chapter was crazy!

The Babysitters Coven is fun so far too.

The reading slump is dead! Read these 2 so far this week.

Going Under was a fun graphic novel with beautiful artwork. The story was meh, but I do want to see what will happen next. 3⭐️

Felicia Day’s book was fun. I wish she had talked more acting career but it was still fun. 3⭐️

I think my reading slump is finally starting to release its hold on me. I started Brigands & Breadknives yesterday and would have devoured it all in one day if sleep wasn’t a necessity. I love this series. Travis Baldree is an auto buy author for me now. 4⭐️

Still fighting this reading slump but I managed to finish 2 books over the past week.

Oathbound 3.5 ⭐️ Suffers from middle book syndrome but the ending has me eager for the next book.

Monday’s Not Coming 4⭐️ Heartbreaking. That’s all I can say.

Still battling a reading slump on top of not having much time to read. Finished Where He Can’t Fund You by Darcy Coates. 4⭐️ it was a bit long and draggy in parts but a decent spooky read.

Making homemade chocolate chocolate chip macaroons today. Super easy with just a few ingredients and easy to modify like I did today. 😋😋😋

Still fighting this dang slump. Managed to read 2 books last week.

The Good Daughter 2⭐️ the book was too long and far too sexually violent.

Dearly Devoted Dexter 3.5⭐️ Didn’t enjoy this as much as the first book because I wasn’t interested in the villain.

Finished Junie yesterday. Thanks to my slump I had to take my time with it and I’m glad I did. Such an emotional story with great characters and atmosphere. Will def be reading more from this author in the future. 4⭐️

My reading slump is still slumping. 😕 This book did not help. Only finished it because Richard Armitage was one of the narrators. Lisa Jewell just isn’t the author for me. 2⭐️
