I'm a READER. Not here to sell you anything. I'll share what I find in books without spoilers. Book review, NOT book report. I'll put the title in front of you, then you can choose. Life is full of possibilities. So are books.
#TheInvisibleWoman is a bright pink book. That probably should have been a hint. My husband has a select few authors that he enjoys. #JamesPatterson being one of them. He DNF this #book. I think this was meant to appeal to women. And, as a woman, I finished it. But give it a, meh. #booksky

The 1st half of #OnTheWingsOfBlood was leaning towards DNF. A snowstorm & a sad lack of other books kept me going. I felt Zodiac Academy meets Twilight at Fourth Wing, even a hint of Harry Potter & Hunger Games, as I read this #book. But not as good as any of them. #booksky

I have tried to write this several times. Trying to explain the rape in #Alchemised without spoilers. Don't bring your pitchforks. Best intentions. The scene is nonconsensual sex for both people. Yes, it's rape. But it might make a difference to those that are concerned for that trigger. #Booksky

I can honestly say I was surprised by #Alchemised. I had serious doubts when I picked it up at the #library. The book jacket mentioned war. My eyes just glaze over reading battle scenes. Fortunately, there are very few blow by blow battles. Read the triggers. I have very few. #booksky

#ComingSoon, from #JamesPatterson, a new #AlexCross book. #Cross&Sampson is #book 35. Due Feb 9. At 368 pages I'm looking forward to a quick read. I started at the beginning. Feels like family. Check your #library. Season 2 of Cross also in Feb. I'm iffy on the show. Hard to beat a book. #booksky

I actually do have insomnia. But #books make it survivable. #bedsidebook and a reading lamp. #booksky

#ComingSoon, #StolenInDeath, number 62 in the #EveDallas series. Arriving 2/3/26. This series is set in a future New York. Not Jetson's future. But there are flying cars. Sort of. Not so crazy that my, "I hate sci-fi" husband can enjoy them. Pick them up at the #library. #Roarke #J.D.Robb #booksky

#Glow is the 4th book in the 6 book #PlatedPrisoner series. This book had some unexpected & exciting moments that opened so many possibilities for the next 2 #books. I'm in love with these characters. I wish I could read quicker. But life & 672 pages. #library #midas #fae #completedseries #booksky

I totally get that a Fae Prince is unlikely to be named Joe. But sometimes the names get distracting. It's like a hard stop when I am reading. #booksky

#TheBoyfriend is the 2nd #book I've read by #FreidaMcFadden. She has quite the knack for twisty-turney, didn't see that coming. Though I will admit, I wondered how stupid was the FMC at times. Blinded by... Easy read. Nice before picking up the next 600+ page monster in the TBR. #booksky

J.R. Ward author of #BlackDaggerBrotherhood is dipping her toe into #romantasy. #CrownofWar&Shadow is the first #book in the Kingdoms of the Compass series. It's planned to be a 4 book series. Expected February 2026. #ParanormalRomance #booksky

#GoneGirl. The rare #StandAlone book. The story didn't get interesting until about 40ish pages in. Then it got all twisty & turney. Interesting who done it. Then, after 500+ pages the ending was as flat as a pancake. Ran out of ink? This #book left me anxious and unfulfilled. IMHO, skip it. #booksky

#TheSevenRings had the happy, sappy, feel good ending just like you'd expect. But before you got there...
There was a lot of repeated dialog. Maybe I'm just getting old and curmudgeonly. This book should have been a quicker read. I just didn't devour it. 1st 2 were better. #booksky #FinishedTrilogy

If #Brimstone hadn't been #book 2, it would've fell to DNF. I kept going only for the love of #Quicksilver. The beginning felt so lackluster. I began to wonder if anything exciting was going to happen. Then the ending, wow. I sincerely hope the next book is... more deserving. #booksky #CallieHart

I have a new fantasy thanks to #Brimstone. A room made from #book stacks. A private refuge among the books.
Now that I think, it isn't a new fantasy. Just one with a different form. #booksky
