Hey Jodi! Great start to your list!

I shall return to lurk... good luck

[Bill, Moderator]

I've looked at Addie LaRue a few times. I should read my other VE Schwab books first I guess. I look forward to seeing what other books you add to your list.

[Jackie]

Good luck with the completion of your list.

[Lea]

Jodi, what a great list! I loved The Winners, Carrie Soto and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Hope you enjoy your choices!

Lea, good to hear you enjoyed these. Confirms the add to my challenge!

[Bonnie]

I loved Mad Honey and really liked The Wife Between Us. I hope you do too.

[Denise]

I enjoyed The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. A few others are on my TBR list. Good luck with your challenge.

[Jodi]

Off to a start with my first finished book, Lost in the Wild: Danger and Survival in the North Woods. Interesting story of 2 separate cases of hikers lost in the Boundary Waters of MN. Local to me as a Minnesotan. 4 of 5 stars.

[Karol]

I've not hear of Lost in the Wild . . . but it sounds quite interesting. I've never been to Minnesota at all, but I have spent hours and hours in the upper peninsula of Michigan where conditions are certainly harsh. How people can find ways to survive in these kinds of situations is always amazing.

[Alissa]

I love this list!! Can't wait to hear your thoughts!!

This sounds really interesting. I wish it was more popular and available at the library, but with under 2000 ratings, I doubt it will ever be. Hope the rest of your reads will be equally good.

[Jodi]

I finished, Not So Perfect Strangers. I thought it was okay. I'd give it 3 of 5 stars. A bit twisty but could almost see it coming too.

[Jodi]

I also finished, The Wife Between Us. I did enjoy this one. About 1/2 through is a twist that made me say, "wait, what?" and had to re-read a few paragraphs before I got it. Twists continue to the end. 4 of 5 stars.
Aha! I thought a time or two that something was familiar with this book only to discover it on my 2020 book challenge list. I liked it then too! :)

[Bill, Moderator]

You're off to an excellent start. The Wife Between Us sounds interesting.

[Jodi]

Finished Mad Honey. I really liked this book. I enjoy many of Jodi Piccoult's books and this one didn't disappoint. I also enjoyed learning of beekeeping as an aside to the story itself. The more you know! 4 of 5 stars.

one of my favorites by Jodi Piccoult.

[Jodi]

Read, Going Zero. I enjoyed this one. Thought it was going one way and went a slightly different direction. Interesting on how deep surveillance of people can go and what odd thing/habit/behavior can "catch" you. 3.5 of 5 stars.

[Jodi]

Read, Carrie Soto Is Back and loved it! Another Taylor Jenkins Reid favorite. 4.5 of 5 stars

[Jodi]

Read, The Maidens This was a good book, an ending I didn't expect. 3 of 5 stars.

[Alissa]

You're doing great on your challenge!
