Book 1 of 2026 “What The Wind Knows” by Amy Harmon. Time travel, romance, and a love letter to Ireland. I really enjoyed this one. 5/5⭐️ #Booksky #Ireland #1920s

Book 103 of 2025 “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” by Jenny Lawson. So funny, especially if you’re into off-colour humour. (She’s a big fan, for example, of the word “vagina”) 4/5⭐️ #BookSky #Humour

Book 102 of 2025 “Daisy Jones and the Six” by Taylor Jenkins Reid. What a cool premise for a novel! The story of the rise and collapse of a rock band in the 70s, including all the sex, drama and addictions that went with that. Amazing in audio book! 5/5⭐️ #BookSky #RockNovel

A bit difficult to figure out and keep track of. (Thus the need for a re-read) 4/5⭐️ #Booksky #PulitzerPrize #TooDeepForMyTiredBrain

Book 101 of 2025 “Trust” by Hernan Diaz. The truth is out there, and it’s somewhere in between different versions of the story, all told by different characters and for different reasons. I think I need to re-read this one- I definitely wasn’t in the right space to appreciate it. Cool premise, but

That. I have never been disappointed by one of her books before, but I can’t say that I loved this one. 2/5⭐️

Book 100 of 2025 - “Comfort & Joy” by Kristin Hannah. You know when your favourite TV series used to do a Christmas episode just to say they had done one? That’s what this book felt like for me. It had a terrific premise, but I felt like the ending was super rushed and wasn’t done week because of

Book 99 of 2025 “Furiously Happy” by Jenny Lawson. I laughed so hard at times in this book, and had some serious “Aha moments” about myself, anxiety, and self-doubt in between. Jenny is hilarious, but delivers an incredibly powerful message. Recommend 5/5 ⭐️ #BookSky #PossumsRAmazing #RacoonsOfJoy

Book 98 of 2025 “The River is Waiting”- Wally Lamb. I read it really quickly; a rollercoaster of emotions! I was disappointed, then sad, then angry, then disappointed again, sad again, and at the very, very end, a little hopeful. Tough journey for Corby, his loved ones and the reader! 5/5⭐️ #Booksky

Book 97 of 2025 “Before Dorothy” by Hazel Gaynor. A version of the story of Aunty Em from the Wizard of Oz. It’s plum full of Easter Egg references to the Wizard of Oz, and tells stories of love; within marriage, between family, and with the land. 5/5⭐️ #BookSky #Oz #NoPlaceLikeHome

Book 96 of 2025 “We Begin at the End” by Chris Whitaker. A story about a vivacious girl, (Duchess Day Radlet - Outlaw), her younger brother, and the bonds that they share with their mother, their grandpa, and others they meet along the way. 4.5/5⭐️ #Booksky #Family

Book 95 of 2025 “Mad Honey” by Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Finney Boylan. This book is so touching, telling a story of young love, while also speaking truths about gender identity, violence, and the legal system. 5/5⭐️#Booksky #transCharacter #LoveIsLove

Book 94 of 2025 “Dopamine Nation” by Anna Lemke, MD. I found this book both informative and practical. It helped me to understand some of my students better, and the strategies provided make sense and are realistic. 5/5⭐️ #BookSky #Dopamine #Balance #BrainScience

A beautiful book; I loved the character depth, the family dynamics, ands the exploration of the role of guilt, anxiety and forgiveness in their motivations. 5/5⭐️ #Booksky #BookClub #loveThisBook

Book 92 of 2025. “The Guncle” by Steven Rowley. Two precocious kids are placed with their equally precocious (gay) uncle for a summer after Mom dies and Dad is in rehab. It’s a summer full of learning for all of them, and a story full of love and laughter. Loved every second! 5/5⭐️ #Booksky #Pride

Book 91 of 2025 “The Measure” by Nikki Erlick. One morning, every person in earth over a certain age gets a piece of string that shows the length of their life. How does society react? How does it affect your decisions and actions? I read this in a single day and need to read it again! 5/5⭐️#Booksky

Book 90 of 2025 “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow” by Gabrielle Zevin. Parts of it felt long, but I fell in love with the characters and their stories- it felt “real” in that the journeys were not direct, but took “side quests” and detours on the way. 4.5/5 ⭐️ #Booksky #Gamers #STEAMnovel

…. Works to try to erase the effects of a wish she made back in her own time. 4.5/5⭐️ #TimeTravel #meetingYourOwnGreatGrandma #1920s #Flappers #JazzAge #Booksky

Book 88 of 2025 “Friends, Lovers, and the Big, Terrible Thing” by Matthew Perry. It’s the story of his career, but mostly his battles with addiction. I listened to this as an audiobook, narrated by Matthew himself, which made the story even more poignant. #Booksky #Addiction 4.5/5⭐️

Book 87 of 2025 “Earls Trip” by Jenny Holiday. A regency era fun novel - a group of guy friends out on their annual get-away gets sidelined because the Earl must “rescue” the daughters of a neighbour. A little romance (and spice) and a lot of friendship ensue. 4.5/5⭐️ #Booksky #regencyRomance

Book 85 and 86 of 2025 “Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers” and “Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (On a Dead Man)” by Jesse Sutanto. So much fun! I loved the relationships that developed through Vera’s “investigations”, and her personality is my new life goal. Haiya! 5/5⭐️ for both! #BookSky

Book 82 of 2025 “Catch the Sun” by Jennifer Hartmann. Young love (🌶️ at times) with a twist - her brother is on death row, his father it’s in need of constant care due to his alcoholism. As romances go, there was enough depth to the characters and plot to let me rate this 4.5/5 ⭐️ #BookSky #Romance

how they were developed separately and how they came together and prospered together. An inspirational story that highlights the importance of the time of education, and immersion together to build bridges and understanding. #Booksky #TruthandReconciliation #EducationForGood

Book 81 of 2025 “Valley of the Birdtail” by Andrew Stobo Sniderman and Douglas Sanderson. A book that embodies both the truth and the reconciliation that is needed in Canada today. The history of a reserve and a small town in Manitoba - just miles apart,

Book 80 of 2025 “Under the Java Moon” by Heather B. Moore. Another #historicalfiction that took me to a time and place I didn’t know about before… this time, the internment and terrible treatment of Dutch families by the Japanese in Indonesia during WW2. Great story- riveting! 5/5⭐️ #Booksky #WW2
