[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Rising by Jo Riccioni needs a lot more recapping from the first book! What there was, was scattered throughout the story, with a major entry in the last couple of chapters....

Trapped Days: A Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller by Grace Hamilton. Wonderful Sci Fy read.

Really enjoyed The Daughter by T.M. LoganTM Logan
Here's my 5* review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

You will not want to send your daughters to Uni after reading this!!

A Wedding in Italy by Tilly Tennant

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Fourth Consort by Edward Ashton was a good story but had a lot of similarities with the author's Mickey series.

3 Stars

I'll Eat When I'm Dead by Barbara Bourland

[PattyMacDotComma]

The mystery in Clare Leslie Hall's Broken Country is the result of a tangled love triangle over many years. I did not guess the ending, which is always a good thing.
My review of Broken Country

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami was disappointing.

The Otherwhere Post by Emily J. Taylor

An interesting YA fantasy with dark academia and fae elements. Great for those who enjoy this genre.

[PattyMacDotComma]

Korean author and Nobel Prize winner Han Kang's recently translated novel, We Do Not Part, uses dreams and magical realism to reveal the history trying to hide under the clean snowy landscape of Jeju Island.
My review of We Do Not Part

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Aunt Tigress by Emily Yu-Xuan Qin was a flop.

1 Star

Splinter Effect by Andrew Ludington was a pretty good story.

The Many Futures of Maddy Hart by Laura Pearson

An interesting contemporary drama that could have been even better had the ending been more defined.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[BookishDramas]

Murder in the Tuscan Hills

3.5 stars for me.
I read this as a NetGalley review copy. Murder mystery.
Feb 2025 release.

The One by John Marrs

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Prince Without Sorrow by Maithree Wijesekara was disappointing.

2 Stars

The Difference Between You & Me by Celia Hayes

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Where Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell is lacking in world and 'creature' building.

2 Stars

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

The Notorious Virtues by Alwyn Hamilton was good... action, suspense, and a twist~! The book cover is great, but the story isn't that 'busy' or supernatural.

3 Stars

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

(Also a little scary as it could be a glimpse into our own future...)

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Two wonderful graphic novels, though each is quite different from the other.

1. Happy Endings by Lucie Bryon

A compilation of three witty "happy endings." Enjoyed this a lot!
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

2. God with Us: Bible Stories on the Road to Emmaus by Matt Mikalatos

Uses the biblical story of the journey to Emmaus to present some interesting correlations between the Old and New Testaments. A bit tricky for the target age group of middle-graders, but could work for older readers.

The Bookseller by Valerie Keogh

My review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Just because the character in the book really rubbed me the wrong way, should not stop you from reading this book.

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Black Woods, Blue Sky by Eowyn Ivey

Loved this Alaskan literary fiction. Don't read it as a 'Beauty & the Beast' retelling though some blurbs have tagged it as such.
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Melanie]

A little late with this one but I really enjoyed it.



Track Her Down (Bree Taggert #9) by Melinda Leigh

My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Melanie]

Another one I was a little behind on but was a fantastic read.



The Next Grave (Columbia River #6) by Kendra Elliot

My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

A Drop of Corruption by Robert Jackson Bennett is a good story, but Ana, one of the MCs, ruins it for me. The story is in 1st person, told by Din, so Ana 'tells' her side of things and that part is boring.

2 Stars

The Dream Keeper's Daughter by Emily Colin

[Lexa]

Incidents around the house by Josh Malerman

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

The Cobbler's Apprentice by Lynette Rees

It's so annoying when series books are marked as standalones! This historical fiction has a decent plot, but not knowing the background of the characters, I just couldn't get into it
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Sandy]

I just finished listening to The Socialite's Guide to Sleuthing and Secrets by S.K. Golden, and am reading The Secret Detective Agency
by Helena Dixon.

[Melanie]

A fantastic YA thriller.



We Were Warned by Chelsea Ichaso

My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Faithbreaker by Hannah Kaner was a good ending to the series but moved at a very slow pace, and the characters lacked emotions.

2 Stars

https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Give Up the Night by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast was ok, but read more as if intended for the preteen age group.

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

Their Monstrous Hearts by Yigit Turhan was a flop... It needs some major dressing up so it's 'showing' the story!

Jane Austen's Bookshelf: A Rare Book Collector's Quest to Find the Women Writers Who Shaped a Legend by Rebecca Romney

A fascinating book about the women writers who broke the norms before Austen. A great choice for all classic lit lovers.

[BookishDramas]

The Cosmos Keys: An Archaeological Thriller of Lost Civilizations, Ancient Machines, and a Deadly Secret

4 stars Read as an ARC. NetGalley.

Intriguing mix of history, archaeology, and high-stakes adventure, somewhat of a cross between an Indiana Jones adventure and the Da Vinci Code.

Sheer Mischief by Jill Mansell

[Melanie]

A great historical romance.



Good Duke Gone Wild (Bluestocking Booksellers, #1) by Bethany Bennett

My Review - 4 Stars
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

[Billie's Not So Secret Diary]

House of Blight by Maxym M. Martineau was typical of the genre and an ok read, but I don't see myself reading the next book in the series.

When the Bones Sing by Ginny Myers Sain

A YA book that would work well for the YA audience.

The Brazilian by Rosie Millard

[Rosh ~catching up slowly~]

Who Wants to Live Forever by Hanna Thomas Uose

One of the most thought-provoking debuts I have read. Had the ending worked better for me, I'd have gone even higher in my rating.
