1. Vacationland by John Hodgman

3. The Animators by Kayla Rae Whitaker

4. The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides

This (and you will gasp and laugh) is book 1/3 from my January 2019 BOTM box. I am ashamed, but this is my year to clear my BOTM shelves and all my unread, collecting dust books.

5. My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse

6. The Intuitionist by Colson Whitehead

I am glad my first books have all been from my to be read shelf.

8. Lock Every Door by Riley Sager

This is Book 1/3 from my July 2019 Book of the Month box that I needed to read for book club on Saturday. I swear, I’ll read my books!

9. The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo

This is book 3/3 of my January 2019 Book of the Month box. I will try to get to a February 2019 book but work has slowed down my reading this month!

10. Anne Perry and the Murder of the Century by Peter Graham

Trying to read some of the books on my kindle which there are a lot of!

11. Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter

13. Summer Knight by Jim Butcher

14. The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

This was one of the free Amazon kindle books that I've had for who knows how many years now. I have so many books on my kindle I need to read.

15. Early Riser by Jasper Fforde

This is book 2/3 from my February 2019 BOTM box (I know I am still so ashamed and yes I am still ordering books!) but I feel as if quarantine is going to give me so much time to finally catch up (as I order more books and went to the local book seller before they shut all the stores down....)

Don't feel bad. I also chose this one and haven't read it yet. lol

16. Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano

This book is book 1/3 from my December 2019 Book of the Month box. I had to read this for book club for our Saturday zoom meeting so while I normally don't skip ahead to other boxes, I am at least glad the pick was a BOTM book!

17. A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum

This is book 3/3 from my February 2019 Book of the Month box. I keep saying I am going to dedicate a month to just BOTM books, and I will. I just have these library books I want to read as well!!

18. China Rich Girlfriend by Kevin Kwan

19. Before She Knew Him by Peter Swanson.

Book 1/2 from my March 2019 BOTM box. I think I may be able to pull it off and start and April 2019 in April 2020 haha

20. The Things We Wish Were True by Marybeth Mayhew Whalen

This was one of those free kindle books I’ve had on my iPad for years

21. Heaven: Our Enduring Fascination With the Afterlife by Lisa Miller

I bought this book when I saw the author being interviewed on The Colbert Report back in 2012, never read it, cat peed on some books and had to rebuy. It's been a journey.

22. Casino Royale by Ian Fleming

One of my many kindle books I need to get to.

23. Queenie by Candice Carty-Williams

Just in the beginning of June and I am over half to my goal. I am exactly half way to my stretch goal of 50. I think I am going to make it!

26. Miracle Creek by Angie Kim

This is book 1/3 from my Book of the Month April 2019 box. I keep telling myself I am going to dedicate one month to just BOTM books, and it hasn't happened yet. My next three reads that I have lined up are not BOTM books. SO MUCH TO CATCH UP ON!

27. The Color of the Law by Richard Rothstein

28. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson

This was definitely either a free kindle book or one I got for $1.99 or something ridiculously cheap at least 5 years ago. Possibly more but I don't know.

29. The Age of Light by Whitney Scharer

This is book 2/3 from my BOTM April 2019 box.... (sheepishly turns away to hide all the 2020 books)

I haven't read any of my 2020 books and maybe only 1 of my 2019 books...I need to just stack them all and sit them in my living room to guilt myself. lol! Out of sight, out of mind is my problem!

This has been on my kindle for a couple of years now...

31. Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn

Book 3/3 from my April 2019 box. Some would call that progress!

32, Necessary People by Anna Pitoniak

Book 1/3 from my May 2019 BOTM box. I am going to start reading these BOTM books out of order because I am trying to read some thrillers and mysteries. We will see how long that lasts.

33. The Lamorna Wink by Martha Grimes

34. Final Girls by Riley Sager

44. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Illustrated edition) by J.K. Rowling

I’ve owned the illustrated edition for years now (whenever it came out, so 4 or 5 years) and I never read it, per usual. I would even re-read the series and not read my illustrated edition. Well I finally did, and I was not disappointed by the art by Jim Kay.
