[Jen K]

I read Deep Delta Justice: A Black Teen, His Lawyer, and Their Groundbreaking Battle for Civil Rights in the South which has 125 ratings and only 36 reviews.

[Rachel]

Read Redesign Your Life: Using Numerology to Create the Wildly Optimal You by Felicie Bender. Was fun to find my numbers and read up about them.

[Amy]

The Last ResortMarissa Stapley has only 366 reviews at the moment.

[Diane]

I used Sherlock Holmes and the Ice Palace Murders by Larry Millett. This is set in St. Paul Minnesota during the 1896 winter carnival. As a Minnesotan, I enjoyed the familiar setting - streets & businesses. James J. Hill, an historical wealthy Minnesotan was one of the characters.

[Natasha]

I just finished The Witch's Heart The Witch's Heart . If you liked the Madeline Miller books or like Norse Mythology, this one is for you. I suspect it won't be less than 1000 for long, but it was when I read it. So there! It had like 342 when I read it, and now it's over 800, so read quickly! LOl. It also works for 2021, Forgetting, and Do-Overs

[Miranda]

[Amy]

I followed the advice of a poster above and sorted my Read shelf by number of reviews. Here are some I found that fit the criteria:

The Loss of Leon Meed
UnHappenings
Erin Solomon Mysteries, Books 1 - 5
Cold a Long Time: An Alpine Mystery
Syncing Forward
Overlay: A Tale of One Girl's Life in 1970s Las Vegas
Life Among Giants
Stray (first in a series)

Most of these were free Kindle books that turned out pretty good! I rated 3+ stars on all

[Jenn]

For this prompt I read Eddy Boudel Tan's debut novel, After Elias. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would recommend this one if you are looking for a book that would fit into this prompt!!

I will check my library in North Branch.

Just finished Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything and would definitely recommend it. I'm using it for the "book that starts with Q, X, or Z" prompt, but it would fit this one as well.

[David]

Erimem - Churchill's Castle

[Britany]

Finished When the Stars Go Dark by Paula McLain

[Kate]

It seems like this list is doing a great job of publicizing less-read books, because a lot of the books on there are now well above 1000!

[Julia]

[Ira]

I'm reading Burning the Books: A History of the Deliberate Destruction of Knowledge by Richard Ovenden. It says it has 54 reviews on Goodreads.

[Elizabeth]

A ton of the books I've read so far this year have under 1000 reviews.. I'll go with Chobits by CLAMP every volume I've read is under 1000 reviews.

[Pam]

I read The Inhabited Island by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky, a Soviet SF classic published in 1967. It has 114 reviews.

[Siobhan]

I read Phoenix Extravagant for this prompt, but My Broken Language: A Memoir also looks great and I'm going to read it for another challenge.

[Ansima]

I am reading 'The Child in the Photo' by Kerry Wilkinson. This book has only 84 reviews and 247 ratings. Around 70% done and enjoying so far.

[Leona]

Mrs Escobar: My life with Pablo it only has 62 reviews and it's about the life of Maria Victoria Henao with Pablo Escobar (the infamous drug lord) whom she married and dated at a very young age.

[Heather]

I read The Power Behind the Throne by Steven Savile for this prompt. This was not a good book. I've read a lot of Stargate books, and this is the worst one. There are some good concepts, but they're all wasted because there's too much going on. There's an alien creature and space Nazis and a Raven King! I think the author either ran out time or hit a word limit. I can't think of any other explanation for the really abrupt ending. I recommend skipping this book.

[LeahS]

I read Mum & Dad by Joanna Trollope. It has 176 reviews on Amazon and 299 on Goodreads. I enjoy the author's books,but I don't think this one was one of her best. A pleasant read, but nothing more.

[Anshita]

I am reading Black Water Sister by Zen Cho. It has 1,873 ratings but only 538 reviews. It was published in May 2021. This is the first book I'm reading by Cho and I love it. I might read more in the future.

[Ashleigh]

I'll be reading Magic Unmasked for this one

[Dubhease]

I read Let Them Eat Fruitcake

[Dana]

I will listen to the audiobook of Archibald Finch and the Lost Witches by Michel Guyon

[Cindy]

The Good Cop by Brad Parks, has 171 review. I read Interference last year an really enjoyed it.

[Sofia]

I read Ice by Anna Kavan. Right now it has 870 reviews (the ratings are ~5000 , but since the prompt is about reviews, I'm counting it.).
