Reading Thread/Goals for 2025

[bobbiwoz]

I havent read a book in a long time. This is strange since we literally have a room in our house with each wall with shelves full of books we’ve inherited from relatives and some bought myself, many I haven’t read yet. I have been listening to books on the Audible app. Its easy to listen while I’m cooking, cleaning, driving kids around or whatever but it’s not the same and I miss sitting down with a good book. I’ve decided to start reading a book from our collection each week. I started a few weeks ago.

So far I’ve read:

“The Covenant of Water” Its about a family in India over a period of about 70 years, where someone in each generation dies by drowning due to what they think is a curse. It’s a good book.

“American Cosmic” it’s a non fiction book about a religious professor who gets immersed in the secret governmental world of ufo research. Great book (and true story) if you’re into that kind of thing.

“Our Mothers War” Non fiction book about women during WW2, at home and on the front. Really good book but long.

“Discovery of Witches” first book of the series. A woman discovers she’s a witch and ends up falling in love with a vampire, who should be her enemy. I really liked this.

“Treachery in Death” by JD Robb (Nora Robert’s pen-name). I’ve read a bunch of the “in death” books, they’re nice, easy reads. There’s a ton of them in the series. They’re about a female detective in the future, each books a different crime to solve.

Current book I’m on is “the Mermaid” about a mermaid who leaves the ocean to marry a human she fell in love with and after he dies she allows herself to become a sideshow in PT Barnums circus so she can make money. It’s ok so far.

Next on my agenda: the next book in the Discovery of Witches series.

I am intrigued by what you say about “The Covenant of Water, “ and decided to download it on Libby.

12/32 - The Final Hunt by Audrey J. Cole

Description:
"Alone in a hunting cabin, off-grid in an untamed wilderness. How does a marriage come to this?

After John disappeared while hunting–presumed dead from a bear attack–Cameron found the crime photos. His role in the recent Seattle serial murders was discovered. The media destroyed her reputation. She lost her dental practice, is on the brink of losing her home.

Everyone has a secret. But if her husband could hide the unimaginable from her, who's to say he's truly dead?

'What brings you so far from home?' the Alaska State Trooper had asked. The truth."

This was a decent thriller. I enjoyed it.
