Chapter 20 - I'm over her alluding to why she left town. I see a triangle coming, and she went from nothing to so obvious but acting oblivious I expected her to be in danger several times. Now it seems to be over too soon, so I'm expecting a herring or something.

Chapter 11 - Meh at this point.

Chapter 6 - It's okay, I think I would enjoy it more if I finished my Kristan Higgins book. I think that story is keeping me partially engaged in this one. It's a bit all over the place and I have no clue who did it, but I don't like the BIL so I don't care if he gets charged, not that I want him convicted but he could use some jail time, I'm not certain he's innocent anyway.

Page 293 of 436 CHAPTER 27 Genevieve - I'm hoping this doesn't have a sad ending. I'm confused as to how Genevieve doesn't consider Riley a real name because it's a surname when her children are Sheppard and Clark, and her husband is Garrison. Does she just have an issue with girls using surnames as first names?

Page 39 of 290 Chapter 4 - I had to look up slum orphan, I was planning on reading all 3 books, but now I'm not so sure. There's a lot of window dressing in the writing. On the bright side the murder was quick.

3:00:26 ⬅️71m Chapter Two: The Convenience Store Coffee of Hope➡️26m - These chapters are incredibly long and I have to stop immediately. So far the story is a little laid-back and doesn't have much going on it is hard for me to keep up with the characters' names as I am unfamiliar with Japanese names so I really only remember the main character and the guy he's so beautiful because his name sounds like Sheba.

[Chapter] 4 The Bible Says God Lies - Okay so I don't agree with everything this guy is saying, but this is a very interesting historical account of how the Bible came to be so I'm definitely going to finish this book.

Bryce & Teyon Location 5374: Chapter 37 Grant - For a minute I thought I had read this before. Turns out I was thinking of A Novel Christmas. So far it's good, although it feels familiar.

Bryce & Teyon Location 4846: Chapter 32 Bryce - I feel this is the end but my eyes can't go any further. This is the best story so far.

Chapter 23 Creed - I don't like the plot, but they created a decent case for it.

2:47:09 Chapter 26 - It was just about to go somewhere, but I need to get some sleep. It's still pretty slow.

6:52:54 Chapter 25 -So I read The Walnut Creek Wish (⭐️⭐️⭐️½) in 2022 and I had some issues with the writing style names for changing and the dialogue was way too formal for personal relationships I compared it to a 1950s sitcom and said I had no desire to read more. I think if I had known that going in I probably would have done a sample before starting this book. But likely I still would have read it. Another read

52:03 Chapter 9 - It's slow! If it's in no rush, neither am I. It made me miss Miss Fannie's Biscuits.

Page 7 of 133 Getting Here (and Back Home) Is the Hardest Part - Oh I'm going to love this. I just don't have time to read it. I think this would be a single-sitting read if I don't have errands. Hopefully, I can finish it tonight and it won't result in vacation planning. The map isn't a cute as I imagined.

6:08:37 Chapter 22 - I hate to give this book a low rating but I'm going to finish it because I am curious. It is not a horrible story but it is written very awkwardly. The mystery is occurring during a baking contest but we have not seen one scene from the contest despite the so-called main character being a part of it. Everything happens off camera and is told to us through people's long-winded inner thoughts or d

2:55:24 Chapter 10 - I don't even get how this is a mystery. Nothing suspicious on camera we're just taking Fannie's word for it. Then there's the wannabe triangle of unrequited admiration. They make it seem like this is a sequel to another book, but I couldn't find any beforehand.

Page 91 of 314 Chapter 10 Nakyra - There are so many things I'm not a fan of in this story but I'm going to let it ride and watch the growth.

Chapter 20

[Chapter] 35 FIVE YEARS AGO, AUGUST - So this book starts in the middle of a run and we are thrust back in tome waiting for the run to happen, except now much has happened, I know who the bad guy is and NC is oblivious and not in danger, this is not a thriller.

[Chapter] 15 - This story feels more Romantic Suspense than Thriller. I'm stopping because I'm half interested and half lulled into boredom. I'll try to finish tomorrow.

Viktor & Channing Location 3561: Also By Kizzie Kollins - This story had a few storylines that made no sense, like the interview. I wasn't horrible but I just didn't enjoy it or the tropes.

Chapter 11 - I have no idea what percentage this is because boundless doesn't tell you so I'm just guessing. I really should have gotten the e book because I don't remember it being this slow. I guess the plot is interesting just waiting for someone to die at this point.

Page 19 of 307 [Chapter] 1 How Did We Get the Bible? - This is not exactly what I was expecting but I was interested until he pretty much said that even if the Bible says something he is going to go with the minority immediately on the topic. That sounds awfully biased to me. And if he's willing to manipulate that in the favor of the minority for the sake of politics I'm not sure I can trust anything else he says. I

6:24:48 Chapter Sixteen: Lizzie - Okay now I can go to bed. I didn't notice the Gone Girl comparison on the cover until now. It's not like GG, I haven't solved it yet but I have a theory without any evidence to support it.

4:11:11 Chapter Eleven - I actually thought about abandoning this, like just think how long I would give it to heat, and then in the next minute it did. So give it a couple of chapters it's has a domestic fiction vibe and the suspense comes later. I don’t want to take a break but I know I should.

Menace - This is certainly XXX. I don't know why the publisher thinks it's for 16+, it's 18+ material.

Page 66 of 424 [Chapter] 8 ARIEL - This had an interesting start but now my interest is starting to wane.
