First one finished was The Favorites, which was GREAT. Definitely recommend for any fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid; the writing style was very similar to hers.
The Colors of All the Cattle, by Alexander McCall Smith. Book 19 in the series. I find some of the regular characters in this series really annoying, but the stories are good enough. I do wish this one ended differently, but it is still ~4 stars for me. Good book, but best read in order with its series.
I finished
I gave it 5 stars. Even though it is a bit slow, still it is a very interesting take on Carmilla.

Ooo, I wanted to read this one today but my hold at the library hasn't come in yet.

I finished
Suicide Med (the last 15%)It did not read like a current Freida McFadden book, but was good all the way to the end. The ending was terrible. Ruined the book. I would rate it 3 stars, but not recommend it.
I finished After the Party
I’ve reviewed many of Clare Swatman’s Women’s Fiction books, and liked them. This thriller was good.
I just finished
. It was very wistful and not quite what I expected, but I enjoyed it. It made me laugh, and also made me tear up quite a bit. Gave it 3.5 stars. Very much a coming of age/growing up with tragedy story. Going to try for a happier one next!

I've finished 2 books so far. Agent Zigzag: A True Story of Nazi Espionage, Love, and Betrayal
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
The Night Villa -last hour of audio - interesting blend of modern mystery and historical fictionThe Name of the Rosé - cozy mystery - a bit ehh, but it worked for another challenge i'm doing
Frankissstein: A Love Story - take frankinstein, make it set modern day with AI/Robots - interesting take but didn't quite live up to potential
Finished
about an hour ago, but didn't love it. Went to my shortest book next:
and I really liked it other than the excessive crying I did!
Finished Wrong Place Wrong Time and was disappointed in it. I had heard such good things, but I just couldn't get into it!
I finished a short story I got from Amazon First. It was so good!
Eleven NumbersSuper short too. Perfect for a sprint.
Finished Killing Crazy Horse: The Merciless Indian Wars in America, by Bill O'Reilly. Another really good history book in this series. Accurate, well researched, and good storytelling, this time dealing with one of the uglier chapters in US history. I'm still rather impressed by this series, and am not surprised that it is popular. 5 stars.

by Terry Pratchett. It was a re-read of a favourite, solid 5 stars for me."Rereading a favorite is a great idea. I sometimes do that during this readathon, but this time I've been focusing on finishing some review copies.
