I'm working my way through #VirtualMountTBR2024. Here's my current To-Be-Read List, and here's the list of titles I have read this year.
In June 2024
Books read: 2
Books I decided NOT to finish: 3
Predators: Who They Are and How to Stop Them: Going through some stuff right now that made me not want to read more. Good advice in what I did read, though.
REMY: I *had* to try a book with my own name! Then I couldn't get through the writing in the first pages. Too much telling without showing. Slow and ungainly. I gave up on myself.
The Orphan Collector: Started it again, got half a chapter further, skimmed a bit, and decided it was too slow/boring.
Books left on the TBR List: 58 (yes, it's getting bigger now)
Best book of the month: There's not much to choose from...
Mad Honey was fine; I saw the twist coming (not always true with Jodi Picoult!) and it was handled well. Perhaps groundbreaking at the time it was published? I wrote, until I checked and found it it was from 2022. I liked the setting and learning more about bees!
Worst book of the month: I haven't finished enough to say!
I had a lot of balls to juggle this month, between work and home responsibilities. Starting in July I'll be on sabbatical/family leave, and there will be traveling, so hopefully some free time to read.
