SUMMER 2025 READING CHALLENGE

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl, Colorful Colorado]

I'm currently reading Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid and just finished Never Flinch by Stephen King. I may still increase my reading goal by end of the month - we'll see.

Please let me know which if any of these titles sound good for the second bonus group read next season

The Once and Future Me sounds so good that I've placed a hold for it at the library, even though there is no audiobook available.

I've mentioned this before, as an old school audiobook listener, the issue I'm running into is physical audio becomes less popular/ available. None of these new titles are available on CD or Playaway from my library. I'll keep checking on the Joe Hill title and see if that one becomes available.

I'm willing to read Hemlock & Silver by Kingfisher and The Once and Future Me, the old-fashioned print way. Count me in for these two.

Marie Still has another book that sounded interesting, My Darlings, and I've placed a hold on the audiobook CD. That will give me an idea if I want to pursue her new one.

Thanks for the update, Dustin! :)

Goodreads is being a pain in the a$$ again so i can't respond directly to your comments about the group reads.

Anyway thanks for the feedback, Dustin! I'll make The Once and Future Me by Melissa Pace the second bonus read. :)

So just one more heads up

Next seasons group reads:

King Sorrow by Joe Hill
Hemlock & Silver by T Kingfisher
The Once and Future Me by Melissa Pace

Sounds Good. If I don't go for King Sorrow, I'm thinking of reading something else by Joe Hill. It's been a long while since I read Heart-Shaped Box. I think that's the only Joe Hill book I've read, although I know I tried 20th Century Ghosts at one time. The Public Library has several Joe Hill titles available as audiobooks.

Likewise, I was looking up Kingfisher, and will be re-reading a couple of her books including A House With Good Bones and The Hollow Places.

I listened to Misery by Stephen King. I’ve read the book twice and decided to try the audiobook, which didn’t disappoint. Misery is one of my favorites of Stephen Kings books that I have read.

I'm currently re-reading Lisey's Story by Stephen King, one of my favorites by the author.

I really should read Misery-love the movie.

I'll finish Lisey's Story today. Looks like this will be the last book I complete for the Summer Challenge.
I do like Misery too.
