9:09:39 Part 3 Chapter 48 - This is so blatant and predictable. I knew who the killer was as soon as it went down. I guessed the secrets before they happened, let alone were revealed they are so cliché. I know who's behind it all, they pretty much give you the farm in part one, and the answers in part 2.

CHAPTER 21 - This has gotten better. I was supposed to wait till next Saturday to read through Chapter 19, but my books have been so disappointing this week I wanted guaranteed enjoyment. It's still not amazing but it is good.

Page 93 of 353 CHAPTER 10 Twenty-four years ago - Another book about a group of retired female spies being hunted down. This should be interesting, if nothing else. I'm hoping the discussion gets me more excited about the story. So far, it is better than okay but not quite really good.

4:30:58 Chapter 24 - Blah! There is more information but it is still like watching paint dry, this is more soap opera drama than suspense. Certainly not a thriller I assumed the "twist" that's not a twist at Chapter 10 and I'm just standing by to see if I'm right, this sounds just like a Nora Roberts book I DNF back in 2015.

2:06:21 Chapter 12 - I've been playing this all day whenever I hit the car. So far this story is boring. I'm trying to give it the benefit of the doubt and continue but what is up with this major plot hole, why didn't they ask the daughter when she last saw her dad? I'm guessing eventually it's going to come out that she never called him but that makes this story old school predictable so I hope not. Negligence and

[Chapter] 15 - I didn't know books could be cockteases, but this one is. I may DNF, I'm sick of sugar.

Page 263 of 552 [Chapter] 11 - This is okay, the story is too corny to be good. I looked it up and Kaci says "sugar" 47 times in this story and I'm only through half of them, I could have sworn she was already passed 50. It's giving obnoxious. Most people use multiple sentiments but she's just using it every time she speaks no matter if he likes or hates the person she's calling sugar.

Chapter 11 - This story is still boring but also a bit confusing as I struggle to know who's talking. I got lost over whose mother they were referring to and the lookalike cousin. I should probably just stop here, but I'm nosy.

Chapter Twenty-Four - I laughed so hard when Hazel’s grandma dressed down Shiloh. It was the most active this story got so far. I don't think I will be continuing the series. It's using stupidity to create conflicts. I'm still giving the Amish Candy book a try.

Page 93 of 287 Chapter Twelve - For some reason I was expecting this to be an Amish Mystery. So far it's okay but Shiloh is too dimwitted for my taste.

47:56 Chapter 3: Meredith - Starting with a bang as usual. I have to stop to get ready and I'm delaying getting in the shower, which means I'm already hooked.

Chapter 8 - This is a bit boring, the mystery is my least favorite part. I'll sleep on it but this might be the end of my journey.

Page 23 of 415 Chapter 3 - I don't like how these chapters keep cutting off. So far, none of them have drawn me in from the reading selections to historical mystery to the beach itself; it sounds a bit dull, and I don’t like the writing style.

5:50:54 Chapter 12 The Foundations of a Good Relationship - If it wasn't for Goodreads this is the point I would call it a day, but I'm close so I'm going power through tomorrow. There was a 12-hour break between the middle of Chapter 11 and the last 14 minutes. I almost forgot to finish it.

4:19:09 Part 2 Chapter 28 - Don't eat during Chapter 23, gross. I fear this may be a murder mystery without a murder. It's not bad, but not good enough to stop me from jumping to Katherine Center's new book.

3:02:22 Part 2 Chapter 20 - It's okay so far. I'm not sure if this is going to be a simulation or a real mystery.

4:51:01 Chapter 21 - It's a little slower on the action and the gang's intentions but otherwise, this is great

1:46:24 Chapter 7 - This is already better than the previous books. I'm enjoying this series and Amish Suspense, I hope it continues.

Page 107 of 301 CHAPTER 10 WENDY - This book was hilarious from the first line the humor has been nonstop. I'm only stopping now because I need to sleep. It feels like this may be my favorite.

4:03:16 Book 1 Chapter 5 - This is so good. I can’t believe Coppola didn't like it on his first read. There's even a character with his name in the beginning, maybe that's why. I may be up tonight with this one, better than the movie although there is some disturbing content.

[Chapter] 21 - I have lost count of how many times I had to go back to Chapter 5 because I fell asleep. I went back to Chapter 1 twice. I thought my mind was just rejecting that story but now that I am feather along I can safely say I don't like this plot at all I don't like anything about it but I'm gonna keep going and see if it gets better.

2:00:59 Chapter 4: Where We Stumble - This is very good, it seems to be more about personal growth and how that makes your relationships better. Unfortunately, it's more telling than showing, not much how, mostly do.

8:43:25 Chapter 47 - With these Reading schedules the host usually has not read the book yet so I don't know how they know to stop at the most suspenseful parts of the stories but this one is scheduled better than In An Instant, I Don't know what's going to happen next but it does feel like a bit of climax. Now my dilemma is, do I finish the book after the discussion or wait till next week?
