Starfall by Keira Andrews, 20 pages: 2 stars. The pitfall of short stories by people who usually don't write them is not being able to fully flesh out the world and characters in so few pages.
Rescuing the Writer by Nora Phoenix, 90 pages: 1.5 stars. Not very enjoyable. I literally did not care about the relationship at all.
Cupcakes and Confessions by Jax Calder, 50 pages: 4 stars. Good dialogue, a complete story with some backstory woven throughout. A lovely short story.
Big Difference by Ana Ashley, 91 pages: 3 stars. Decent characters, a good amount of world-building for such a short story.
Among Friends by Annabeth Albert, 75 pages: 3 stars. Another short story with decent character work and good pacing.
The unlisted book I read was "Saturnalia" by Rey Andújar. 102 pages. Translated by Kolin Jordan.
One of the quotes on the back of the book: "Take a trip through the seedy underbelly of the Caribbean experience. Explore places you wont find listed in the guidebooks, the secret alleyways where tour guides won't take you. Rey Andújar paint a picture of melancholy, sadness, confusion, exploration, hatred, and revenge all set before a backdrop of a region and a people struggling with modernity." - Andrew Hertzberg
My review: I found it exciting, gritty and poetic. Small slices and scenes of disturbing and intense lives.
Mail Order Misgivings by Jessica B. Brown - December 2023 (last book of the year?) - 5 pages - 4.5 ★ Short and sweet! I loved the faith content.
Love, Marjorie by Jessica B. Brown - March 2024 - 62 pages - 4.5 ★ The loveliest Anne of Green Gables feels!!! 😭 What a precious story.
Christmas with the Moons by Anna Rose Johnson - December 2024 - 48 pages - Sweet but slightly unbelievable, a bit of Blue Castle vibes, the MC was so-so.
Christmas with Marjorie by Jessica B. Brown - December 2024 - 35 pages - A lovely sequel! Though I do wish she'd shown her aunt and father cheering up ;)
Waxing and Waiting by Alison Tebo - Feb? 2025 - pages - (full rtc)
Finished "Grounds for Suspicion" and with it the collection of 6 cozy murder mystery novellas by Maisy Marple.
Individually, they are each all right. Collectively, very formulaic, and by the end, some elements had even repeated themselves, including ***minor spoiler*** detectives either approving of, offering a job to, or asking out the amateur sleuth. ***minor spoiler complete***.
They were entertaining enough and were free of grammar and punctuation errors that often plague freebie ebooks, but one would have been sufficient. They all read very similarly, and had equal issues with logic, lack of interiority of the main character, and continuity errors.

The Villages of Bucks County was compiled by the Bucks County Planning Commission sometime in the late 1980s or early 1990s. It has no ISBN.
A brief but interesting look at the villages (defined as small settlements around crossroads) in my area, how they were formed in the late 17th through 19th centuries, and how they have (or have not) been preserved.
