Thanks, Blarneygod. That is encouraging. I have had mixed reactions to her books, but, for some reason, I keep coming back.

WTG, LynnB! Let me know when it is done, and I will mark you as "finished".

Christina, I have linked you (post 2) as Christina N.

The First Man in Rome is beginning to get interesting. I have passed the first 100 pages. Only 800+ to go.

Starting:
Rapture in Death for Series
Uneasy Relations for PnM Series, Series 2019 and 2020

@ Tien: Please be safe. I know it must be scary. And, dusting can wait until you have nothing else to do!

@Karin: I didn't yet finish Seriously Serial the first time and you have done it twice! Impressive!

@ Lusie: Roxie did very well. Maybe her hearing is going? Or she has learned that she is OK next to me? Anyway, thanks for commiserating with her.

@all: We have made it to a new year...may your reading be inspiring, challenging and fun. Now, I finally get to start on Series and Moving Mountains!

Ines, you are linked.

WTG, Karin!

Yes, enjoy the fireworks. I love them, but for the past several years have had to listen only to the booms rather than view them. You see, my dog (elderly one) is really afraid of the fireworks (sound) and someone needs to be home to comfort her.

Congrats, Coralie!

I read Children of Blood and Bone. I loved this book!

It is a story of the pain of loss of family and home and the disrespect of a one's group because of who they are. This book does not have a well tied up ending that is all flowers and rainbows. It ends with a question mark. What happens next? What does this outcome mean for everyone?

It is the story of many people. It is the uncertain future of all of us and our choices. What a wonderful book to end the year on...a real thought-provoker!

I gave it a good solid 4*.

Used for bookopoly.

I'll nominate Paranormal

Ha Ha, Mell. The way my Kindle is growing, I will need to do the same in the near future!

Charity, I am hoping to get to [book:The Plague also. I started and quit on it many years ago, but I have decided to give it another try in 2020.

Congratulations, Lagullande and Christina.

Congratulations, Lagullande.

Congrats on the finishes, Christine.
