December Reads

93.  Home Before Dark (Sager) ~ 2/5 (not enjoyable), Audiobook, Thriller

Scooby-Do Caper.  That says it all.  12-3-24

 (soft) DNF ~ The Thursday Murder Club (Osman) 

I simply couldn't get into it.  I'll try again another time.

94.  Such a Fun Age (Reid) ~ 3/5 (just okay), Audiobook, Fiction

Whatever.  12-8-24

95.  The Maidens (Michaelides) ~ 2.75/5 (eh +), Audiobook, Mystery

This was slow and a bit boring.  12-11-24

(soft) DNF ~ Once There Were Wolves (McConaghy)

Not interested at the moment.  I'll try again later.

96.  A Cross-Country Christmas (Walsh) ~ 3.25/5 (just okay +), Audiobook, Christmas Romance

Pretty much what one would expect from a Christmas Romance book.  Very Hallmarky.  12-15-24

97.  My December Darling (Asher) ~ 3.5/5 (good), Audiobook, Christmas Romance

I enjoyed the story, but I could do without the open door scenes.  First time reading Asher, though.  I'll read more.

12-18-24

98.  Claus & Effect (Wayne) ~ 2.5/5 (eh), Audiobook, Christmas Romance

I didn't really care for either of the main characters.  Again, not a fan of open door scenes.  12-20-24    

99.  Holiday Wedding (Neeley) ~ 2/5 (not enjoyable), Audiobook, Christmas Romance

Yay for no open door, but the storyline was ridiculous!  12-22-24

100.  Cabin Crush (Stockton), 3.25/5 (just okay +), Audiobook, Christmas Romance

Clean, cute Christmasy romance.  12-24-24

***101.  The Clinic (Quinn) ~ 3/5 (just okay), Audiobook, Thriller

I don't remember much about this book, I even forgot to record it in May!  However, I do remember bits and pieces.  Didn't love it, didn't hate it.  5-20-24

102.  The Christmas Guest (Swanson) ~ 3.5/5 (good), Book, Thriller

I don't know what I was expecting, but I was surprised with this one.  It was good, but the darkness in this Christmas book was shocking to me - probably because I just read 4 Christmas romances.  😏  12-28-24

103.  The Reformatory (Due) ~ 2/5 (not enjoyable), Audiobook, Paranormal 

I saw this all over the place with raving reviews.  Not one person mentioned there was a paranormal element to it.  Had I known  . . . I don't think I would have picked it up.  This wasn't what I was expecting at all, and frankly, I should have DNF'd it.  I, also, should have done a little research beforehand.  Oops.
