A book about a book club - May 10, 2026 - I didn't care for the narrator for this one which may have influenced my rating. Story was less about book club and more about romance. Meh.
Rating ⭐️⭐️1/2

A book about women astronauts - May 5, 2026 - The 5th book in the Murderbot Diaries involves Murderbot protecting Dr. Mensah's teenage daughter while fighting a network virus and rescuing ART's crew. Good thing it can multitask. It takes place in space so I guess all the female characters are astronauts 🤷♀️. That's what I'm going with.

Author name starts with "N" - April 24, 2026 - This book is about a plane crash and the sole survivor, a twelve year old boy. It flips between the hours leading up to the crash and the boy's recovery and ongoing life. It's both sad and hopeful.

A book set in Michigan - April 20, 2026 - This book takes place during the pandemic on a cherry farm in Northern Michigan. It centers around a mother telling her three daughters, who have come to stay during the lockdown, stories from her past. The author makes you feel like you are right there with them listening as the story unfolds.

Author name starts with "C" - April 19, 2026 - This book was really well written. A prince, a spy, a thief, a strongman, a nobleman and an assassin are thrown together in a plot to kill the king. Each has their own secrets, hidden agendas, and reasons for treason. There's one twist that was predictable, but the author still managed to surprise me and thrill me.
Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4

A book that explores influencer culture - April 14, 2026 - The first half of the book is full of all the annoying nonsense that I hate about the influencer culture. It tries to be witty, but it's crude and pretentious. The second half is better as the main character's life is put in perspective when her niece is diagnosed with a fatal condition and the family goes through the stages of grief.

A book about a sexless marriage - April 9, 2026 - This book is about a golem created as a bride for a Jewish man, but he dies on their way to America before their marriage is consummated. Her life intertwines with a jinni from Syria and they form a special friendship as they try to assimilate with the humans of New York. Slow paced, but well written.

A book that starts with the letter "Z" - April 8, 2026 - This fae style fantasy has elemental magic, shapeshifting, and mythical creatures in a college setting. The writing style is a bit juvenile for my taste, but there are some intense moments. It ends just as the story starts to get interesting.

A book with a character who does Pilates - March 31, 2026 - In the sequel, Amber mentions doing Pilates to get back in shape after childbirth. She's just as conniving and diabolical in this story, but it seemed tired and overdone. Some interesting twists but not as captivating as the first book.

Author name "L" - March 30, 2026 - I really enjoy magic based fantasy novels and this one hit all the right notes for me. Humans and monsters living together, magic hiding in plain sight, an impossible heist, and a bit of spiciness. Chef's kiss.

March book club theme - ✨️ new ✨️ - March 26, 2026 - A lot happens in the fourth book of the Stormlight series. Sanderson is a great story teller, but a very long-winded one. I think there could have been a bit more editing of this one without losing any of the plot or character building. That said, it's still an excellent story.

A book about new beginnings - March 20, 2026 - This is an easy read. A tale about finding yourself and opening up to new experiences. Perhaps finding some magic and wonder along the way.

A book about a horse or with a horse on the cover - March 15, 2026 - The third book in the Heroes of Olympus series focuses more on Annabeth and her quest to follow the Mark of Athena. My daughter said this is her favourite so far, but Athena is her favourite goddess so of course it is.

A book with a type "C" character - February 28, 2026 - This is a wonderful, magical, quirky story. A beautiful tale about being different, and that being perfectly okay. The author makes you fall in love with the characters and makes you want to protect them fiercely.

Author name starts with "R" - February 24, 2026 - This quick educational guide is good for those who are unfamiliar with governance models but a bit of a snore for those who have prior exposure to board structure. I was hoping for more insight for a new board member entering a previously established and highly functioning board of directors. 🤷♀️

A book about debt - February 16, 2026 - In the second Caraval novel, Tella is the one who plays the game. She has to win to pay a debt owed to a "friend" who is helping her find her mother. The stakes are higher this time and so was the intensity of the book. I liked it even more than the first one.

A book less than 260 pages - February 15, 2026 - This novel is an apocalyptic thriller. Two families thrown together trying to work through their confusion about what was happening and how they can survive. It's mediocre.

February book club theme - 👨👩👧👦 family 👨👩👧👦 - February 8, 2026 - This book tells the stories of a boy and a girl who randomly meet at a river and become friends. The writing is a bit flat in the beginning, but I was fully invested by the end and hoping they would find their way back to each other.

A book you were hoping would fit into a prompt but doesn't - January 28, 2026 - This is a similar concept to the Book of Doors - magic objects, secret society trying to protect them, bad guys after them. The magic objects are created by a book and they cannot be destroyed, making it vital to keep them out of the wrong hands. It's great, but not quite as great as the first one.

A book about a pop star - January 13, 2026 - This biography tells how Ed Sheeran rose to fame. I enjoyed learning the stories behind his hit songs but the writing style is very dry.

January book club theme: ⛸️ Skate ⛸️- January 10, 2026 - I was expecting this to just be a cheesy romance novel, but it's a deeper story than just romance. It's a tale about self-confidence, hope, perseverance, and the grueling work that goes into making your dreams come true. The obstacles in this novel are real and relatable. Well done.

A book with a character who has curly hair - January 7, 2026 - Bridget, the BFF, has blonde curly hair. This is a cute romance novel set in Prince Edward Island. I enjoyed all the references to places and landmarks that I've actually seen and experienced myself.

A book you meant to read in 2025 - January 4, 2026 - I didn't quite have time to finish this one before the new year. It's the second of the Saga of the Unfated series and it is full of adventure. There are some great plot twists and a satisfying ending.

Read a book from the TBR of someone you follow - December 26, 2025 - This book brings back the fool, one of my favorite Christopher Moore characters. I don't know how he manages to balance the ridiculous with the intellectual, but he does, and it's brilliant.

A book about witchcraft - December 16, 2025 - This book follows three generations of things going bump in the night. It was suitably entertaining and chilling until the incestuous relationship near the end. That was just gross and completely unnecessary for the plot.

December book club theme: 🎄 holiday 🎄 - December 13, 2025 - This is a fun, lighthearted, Christmas themed murder mystery. The characters are funny and relatable. Parts of the plot are fairly predictable, but the characters are so humorous and endearing that it makes up for it. A joy to read.

A book you got for free - December 8, 2025 - I won the digital version of this book through a StoryGraph giveaway. I didn't realize it was the second book of the series, so I felt like I was missing some of the character development. It's a typical whodunit story. It has potential, but feels like a surface story, there's not enough depth to it to be believable or thrilling.

A book with alliteration - November 8, 2025 - I really enjoyed the concept of this book. Oona leaps through time and lives her adult life out of chronological order. When you only have 12 months with the people you know, you learn to live in the moment.

A celebrity book club selection - October 16, 2025 - This is on the Read with Jenna book club list. While technically well written, this book is extremely boring. It has a Tolstoy feel to it. It's less about the "climactic event" and more about the unraveling that occurs afterwards.

October book club theme: 👻 Spooky 👻 - October 3, 2025 - This book is so perfectly spooky, it's exactly the mood I was going for. It's the kind of book that makes you want to curl up under a blanket and read in one sitting because you can't wait to see how it ends.

A book about a woman in STEM - September 24, 2025 - The nonfiction account of the black women working at NASA is much more detailed, contains more history, and has more characters than the movie version. However, this is one time that I think the movie is much more entertaining. Whichever way you prefer to digest it, this is important information to know.

A book by a Canadian author - August 28, 2025 - This book is very disjointed. It starts seemingly a story about half-siblings, then turns to a commentary on Ponzi schemes during the market crash of 2008, and ends up a ghost story?!? The stories are sort of connected, but it doesn't flow very well.
