Page 65 of 334 [Chapter] 8 - It took a few chapters to get rolling but it's not bad. Something about it is giving me As I Lay Dying flashbacks, why do I have to figure out when they're talking?

32:43 Chapter 5 Day 2 4:40 PM - It's better than Lord of the Flies and The Cay, but that’s not saying much in my book except the language and action are quick. My kid is hooked and I am waiting for someone to mention Survivor, but maybe this was written before the show's debut.

1:33:06 Chapter 13 Monday, July 17, 1440 - My son is officially annoyed abd has caught on that I've been listening to music instead of this audiobook, because I want to finish my Cape May books before any other titles. The suspense is killing him, so hopefully, I can knock my last one out so we can listen this afternoon; the excitement is high.

66 of 117 CHAPTER EIGHT - This one may get me back in the 5 star zone There is a lot of unnecessary drama but I love house hunting and I have my fingers crossed for bundles of happiness.

1:25:41 Chapter 12 Monday, July 17, 0645 - My son says they are building the suspense, but if this shipwreck happens at the end of this book I'm going to be livid.

1:05:36 Chapter 10 Saturday, July 15, 2015 - I was afraid something like this is going to happen now I have to deal with survivor's guilt on top of a shipwreck.

CHAPTER SEVEN - I can't believe girl-mom Judy let her granddaughters get to her husband when she was so good with her grandsons. I wasn't a fan of the ghostly storyline or the relationship woes, but I get some stories need turmoil for there to be a story. I didn’t understand why they hired 3 people to replace 3 people who were on vacation for a few weeks in the first place, so that storyline was an unnecessary hot me

30 of 121 CHAPTER FOUR - It's too late for ghost stories. Goodnight.

CHAPTER NINE - Well, this has gotten a lot better. I love travel and food, it's enough to make me almost forget that 13-year-olds just realized their grandparents were parents first.

31 of 123 CHAPTER FOUR - This feels more relaxed than the previous book, and since when are Liz's boys twins? I'm too lazy to triple-check in Books 1 and 2. These feel like filler storylines.

117 (143) Part Three Shifting from the Outside In - It does feel 5-star but it's definitely close to the zone.

49:46 Chapter 8 Saturday, July 15, 0650 - This feels like it might be really good, I'm hoping no one dies.

NORTH CASCADES NATIONAL PARK WASHINGTON ⭐️ ESTABLISHED 1968 - It's too early! I've been up all night and felt awake. I was hoping this would put me to bed and I think it finally succeeded. I'm going to be on YouTube tonight looking at some of these sites, starting with Crater Lake.

71 (97) Chapter Four The Myth of Universal Approach: Attention Shifters - Now this is the kind of information I was expecting from this book, nothing groundbreaking yet but he attaches studies to the whys.

Page 23 [41] of 206 CHANNEL ISLANDS NATIONAL PARK CALIFORNIA ⭐️ ESTABLISHED 1980 - I was expecting to breeze through this but it's not as funny as I thought about it b it is quite educational though.

Page 1 in the book - Part One Welcome to Your Emotional Life I just finished page xxvi, so I am technically on page 27 but I'm officially on page one based on the page numbers in the book since the actual book is counted separately from the introduction which is done in Roman numerals. This doesn't seem like it's going to be as good as the title implies but I'm keeping an open mind.

[Chapter] FIFTEEN - This story picked up and got so interesting I forgot I was supposed to stop at Chapter 13, oh well. I just need to make sure I don't give any spoilers to the group. I need to reread the last page of Chapter 12.

130 of 198 CHAPTER NINE - These people are on my nerves.

Page 34 of 231 [Chapter] SEVEN - I'll finish the rest in the morning, so far I'm not a fan, but they have shown all of the card yet so the plot is still a bit vague.

5:44:10 Chapter 26 - The situations suck all around, but I'm beginning to like these characters.

65 of 358 Charl [Chapter] 8 SAMANTHA - This is so perfect just hit after hit, no lulls. So I think it may be coming. My only complaint is the woman on the cover has the wrong hair color, they both have black hair but the cover artist made her a redhead. I'm wired but I'm going to pretend to sleep until my husband wakes up or the sun, then I'll have the whole morning with this book. FYI, I had to force myself to bed l

4:03:30 Chapter 17 - This story is a hot mess but the narrator makes it soothing and lulls you into the story so the characters are just human instead of unlikable, not that they're awful or anything.

9:28:51 Part 3 Chapter 22 - This has been action-packed and fast-moving, but only because it can rely on the world building of the previous books.

1:53:51 Part 1 - Chapter 5 - I'm surprised how fast this is, it's very good so far although I'm confused by Katniss's family tree, as this may change things.
