Book 17 for 2025. I've hit a stopping point in this series as the next book doesn't release until June 28th. I'll switch to a different author until then. Looking forward to seeing where this one goes next week! #booksky

Books 15 and 16 for 2025 took me longer than they should have to finish but I guess that's what happens at the end of the school year. Double Cross ended with a great cliffhanger moment so I'm glad I can jump right in to book 28 of the series. #booksky

Books 14 and 15 brought me back to a series I've been reading for years. I love a good suspenseful police (or FBI task force in this case) procedural and the character of Blake Wilder is one I enjoy catching up with each time a new book drops.

I love trying a new author and enjoying the stories they tell. Book 13 was a rollercoaster of twists and while I had a feeling what the final one would be, I was only partially right. What i thought was the last twist was only the second to last so it was a fun ride all the way through.

Book 12 for 2025 - A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik. Pod Meets World chose it for their next book club episode and I found it to be a fun take on the magic school genre. Once I get through the pile of books on my nightstand I'll grab the next one in the series 😂

Book 11 - picked this up from the library yesterday afternoon and finished it with dinner tonight. I teared up several times and my heart broke for Haymitch. I loved the use of poetry throughout and the messaging about propaganda is highly relevant.

Books 9 & 10 are done! I finished The Halloween Tree just over a week ago and I completed The Final Girl Support Group today.
I picked The Halloween Tree because I love the illustrations and The Final Girl Support Group was recommended based on other books I've enjoyed.

Book 8 added to the completed pile! Another twisty and compelling read from Stacy Willingham. I hope she continues to put out more of these because they are my favorite type of book.

Finally completed book 7 for the year. This one was a little slow to pull me in but I flew through the rest. Lots of perspective and time switches but they were all done well and purposefully. I definitely enjoyed this one!

Four books down in 2025! This one was fascinating and had all the right twists and turns.

Subbing for an 8th grade ELA class today and we are watching Anne Frank. Phew. It's always a hard watch but these days...

Book number three! I actually started this in Nov 2024 but I kept setting it aside to read other books. Subbing in high school accounting classes gave me a chance to add it to my finished pile. #booksky
