I was wondering the same, Amy. And, quite liked that addition/angle - now looking for overlooked mixed children.

And, wholly agree, worst are still better 😊

Yeah, we just add ‘em as we see ‘em 😊

Same, Amy.

WTG! 🥳

I thought they did too.

I don’t rate DNFs either. I have a DNF shelf & a maybe-later shelf for those that I might return to in case it was just a me-thing.

Sharing what didn’t work for you can certainly be helpful for others. I usually don’t take the time though.

👍🏼 gotcha!

Atonement Sky got better in the second half and more so the last quarter, for me. I actually liked Bram and Dahlia more than the main couple 🤫

Definitely! No more finishing a book outta guilt. I keep reminding myself - not every reader will enjoy every book.

Nice! Well ahead of schedule 😊
