2:08:30 Ch. 12 Madi - It's okay, not my type of humor but there's a good plot here.

4:18:58 Chapter 5: The Twenty-First Habit: Goal Obsession - I wasn't expecting my husband to be home and these chapters are long. Hopefully, I'll finish tomorrow, there's a lot to think about and Christmas books are calling my name.

6:26:33 Ch. 16 - I didn't like book 3 as much as the first two books, but I'm certain this will be my last book from this series. Catriona is on my nerves, she's so annoying and I don't like Elias either. They started okay but once they started talking and flirting my eyes glazed over and my ears screamed. They are boring and corny with a weak storyline, the historical aspect is the most interesting part of the story

1:24:23 Section Two: The Twenty Habits That Hold You Back From The Top - This is better than good but the solutions are confusing, maybe they are better explained later.

Page 83 of 178 Ch. 12 - I'm not feeling these storylines at all.

4:24:52 Ch. 11 - I was hoping to get to chapter 15 but I can't, this story is a bit boring. It'll put me to sleep this late at night.

22:54 Chapter 2: Enough About You - My husband was reading this book and I'm nosy so I had to read it too. So far it is good and relatable.

8:47:11 Ch. 25 This book is too perfect I'm waiting for the shoe to drop. It's like she skipped the parts of Romance that are cliche.

3:42:57 Ch. 9 - It's wordy and there isn't any romance happening.

1:45:00 Ch. 5 - So-so. It's going to take me all week to get into this story.

124 of 194 Ch. 17 - I saw this coming in book one. This is better than the last couple of books so far. It could be a single-sitting read, but it's almost midnight and my eyes are giving up.

💌 A Love Letter Courtship * Shelley Shepard Gray - It was okay, I felt like the ending was rushed, and I had to reread the ending because I was surprised it was over. It had a good plot but the story dragged and it stopped short of an ending, to me.

1:25:33 A Love Letter Courtship Ch. 8 - I'm not crazy about this one but it has a unique situation, if it wasn't the middle of the night I'd continue, it's not terribly exciting and I need to sleep so it can wait.

3:15:17 Ch. 5 - Okay, I love it. The dialogue is hilarious and realistic. The romance is still the main story but it's not front and center, reminds me of how couples are in real life with true sparks. So far all of these characters are complex.

1:40:06 Ch. 3 - This is going to be the good kind of slow-burn romance, the kind where they are love interests but have meaningful conversations. I am only stopping because this is my filler book for the car.

Page 117 of 222 Ch. 17 - It's odd to me that everyone is 40 with grandkids, and when you do the math they much have gestational periods of 3 days like The Sims. I wonder how Susan went to college and law school while pregnant and giving birth at 19 and 22 as a homemaker, but other than that magic math background story, it's great. I also struggle with the daddy drama, it's more than halfway through the story and I st

31:29 Ch. 2 So far there is too much telling for my taste. I think there might be a hint of a Cinderella retelling.

Sophie ~ Four months before - I decided I wasn't going to bed until I got to page 200, close enough. Hopefully, I'll be done this weekend. Anyway I think they took too long to get this far so I am curious to know what's so unthinkable, it's been predictable so far.

Tash - Everyone keeps asking, "What's the title of the last book you'll read this year?" Being someone who just reads my answers is always, "I have no idea," the way this book is going with 10 days to NYE, it may very well be this one. It seems like I read forever but the page numbers stay low, it's a new kind of slow, but I haven't lost interest.

1:00:34 Ch. 3 - I love it! This is my second story by the author, I read Picture Perfect Love in February, and I'm hoping this one will be more exciting, as that was lacking in the other. Since that one was Christian Romance I'm assuming this one is at least Clean Romance, but we'll see.

Tash - It's a little better, I think I can do it but mostly because I don't have anything else to read at the moment.

Page 15 of 378 Sophie ~ Fifteen Months Before - I'm not sure I'm going to make it. This is way too slow for my taste.

Page 153 of 424 Ch. 11 Cassie - The book I read before this also featured a nanny who wanted to do occupational therapy with children. Anyway, this story is good and unique.

Page 26 of 130 Ch. 3 - Snow White is one of my least favorite stories so I wasn't expecting much, but boy was I wrong. This story is exciting out of the gate, I wish it were a novel. I'm going to put off my errands so I can finish this book.

1:08:36 Ch. Four: Maddox - So far this is cute. I'm guessing I just wasn't in the mood for it last year.

3:44:05 Seventeen - I don't like it. The timeline changed and I didn't get a lot of warning, and now I have to live through the death she was grieving at the opening of the story. Outside of that, it's slow-paced and a bit dull.

1:52:37 Part 6 - Meh. Ugh. Eyroll!

47:12 Four - Finally I was afraid there were no chapters this is actually listed as "The Last Love Note - 7" on my player. So far it's okay, MC is at the border of being ready to move on from grieving, and there is some humor. Mostly I just learned "Legos" are American as they "scooped up some Lego" no S needed. I'm not sucked in yet.

9:35:35 Ch. 25: Mackenzie - I'm only 2.5 chapters from the end but I'm going to bed because the third act in this story is so frustrating.
