I read The Housemaid's Secret and Starling House in 2024.
Good luck with the challenge - enjoy your choices

Good old Harry Hole. I think I'm on 7 or 8....

Goo..."

Crooked Kingdom and Knife were both on last year's list. The problem is there are always new books coming out that catch my eye, or other books in to my TBR pile catch my attention.

So many books and not enough time

Tempting as it was to try 2 lists again, I didn't manage it last year. Let's see if I can complete this list first, and then I can always try a second list. Some of these are unread books from my 2024 lists.

1: The Palace Papers Finished 18th January 2025
2: Bleeding Heart Yard Finished 8th February 2025
3: The Last Word Finished 8th March 2025
4: Abandoned Finished 2nd May 2025
5: Knife
6: The Girl In The Woods Finished 16th March 2025
7: Say You're Sorry
8: The Wilds Finished 27th January 2025
9: Malibu Rising Finished 7th April 2025
10: A Poisoner's Tale
11: Estella's Revenge Finished 19th April 2025
12: The Duchess Finished 8th July 2025

1: A Court Of Silver Flames Finished 30th July 2025
2: The Atlas Complex Finished 26th September 2025
3: Crooked Kingdom Finished 17th May 2025
4: Katheryn Howard: The Tainted Queen

I've read The Sanatorium and Burial Rites and would recommend both

I re-read earlier this week, as well as reading Mr Dickens & His Carol.

There's nothing quite like reading a classic.

I loved The Lighthouse Witches by C J Cooke. I recently read another book by this author - The Book Of Witching

Royal Feud and The People's King both sound interesting.

I recently watched a documentary about Edward VIII & George VI and discovered that Edward actually wrote memoirs. It seems to be long out of print but I was able to find a copy that looks in good condition (esp for a 70 year old book) and at a reasonable price. Just waiting on it being delivered now.

I've only read Water For Elephants and Seven Husbands, both of which I enjoyed and would recommend.
I can also have a stubborn streak. At one point everyone seemed to read Eleanor Oliphant - I only ended up eventually reading it as it was gifted to me. And once I read it, I did like it

Anyone else reading this? Even though I have read it, I discovered within the past year that I don't actually have my own copy of it. I was able to get a beautiful hardback copy in an independent bookshop in a neighbouring town :) I'm planning to read this on Chistmas Eve

I got a copy of Christmas With The Queen delivered today

I definitely plan on reading Onyx Storm!

I finished the Rosie books by Graeme Simsion earlier this year

The only one I've read from your list was That Night which I loved.
Good luck for your challenge

Crooked Kingdom might end up on my list too

I've only read Evelyn Hugo which I loved

I want to read The Tenant Of Wildfell Hall. I got a beautiful hardback copy of it earlier this year

Good luck for your challenge!

Good luck with your challenge, I haven't read any of the books on your list.
