I need to get on the ball. I have only read 1 of mine!

Finished this week's. I am caught up...except awaiting the bonus one. I am OK with getting another draw tomorrow.

Yep, it does. You will miss it when you finish.

Finished: Z for Zachariah for last week's read. Gave it 3 *. Quick read, but not a happy read. Doesn't hold out much hope in that dystopian future and presents a negative picture of humankind. A bit of a downer.

Yay! My bonus read is back to my favorite genre - fantasy!

Finished Z for Zachariah for last week's Blind Date

Started Caffeine: How Caffeine Created the Modern World this week's Blind Date

Finished Year One for November Book It and JRI prompt 2

That completes November Book It. Only one more book to go for Book It.

Congratulations, Joyce! Wow!

this was one of the first dystopian books I remember reading in elementry/middle sc..."

I tend to avoid the dystopian books...especially during the last two years. I thought I could probably handle one for young adults now. It has been on my list for years.

Yay! Just got Z for Zachariah ~ last week's book. Relatively short 249p. So very glad.

LOL, Lusie. I just knew you had done a lot but this list is impressive!

Oh, this is an Audible selection for me! Definitely have it.

Lusie, did you miss adding one #4 for 8...and one #5 for 10? You checked off those numbers.

But, wow! You have gotten pretty far in less then 3 months!

My book for this week hasn't arrived yet. Looks like I might be reading 2 this coming week.

Ebony, you are linked.

I read A Court of Wings and Ruin. 4*.

I seem to be on a kick-ass paranormal story binge.

In this one, the female protagonist is human Made into High Fae. She is strong, loyal, and determined to punish those who harm her family ~ human or Fae. She is High Lady. Her name is Feyre.

She is mated to Rhysand, the High Lord. And, their bond makes me yearn for the same, even though I am a woman of 70+ years. Hot!

This is a story of family...birth and chosen. It is a story of doing what is right even though the cost is high. It is a story of friendship and right triumphing over evil. In other words...a magical wonderful world where all that is wrong eventually finds its end...but not without cost.

I read this for the monthly shelf and for Series 22 and Book It December 21.

I recommend Kickass Heroine
