I found this book suffered middle book syndrome, where it is trapped between resolving the events at the end of the last book in setting up the events of the next book.

Spine of John Grishams Camino Island.

Brad rereads 2025 #Book12 Another trip to Camino Island with more highly suspect plot points, but enjoyable.

Circe by Madeline Miller Book cover depicts a stylized face of Circe, a minor goddess of old Greece. Background of black; the face and laurel leaves and author’s name in gold with the title in white. Note: this is NOT the Circe of DC comics fame or the antagonist of Wonder Woman. #Year2025BookChallenge #ReadBabyRead #booksky #Book12

Circe by Madeline Miller
I am a big fan of re-imaginings of old stories (like Greek myths) and this is a good one! NOT the Circe of DC Comics or Wonder Woman.

#Book12 The Night Circus

After meeting Mr Kings writing via The Stand I think I have read about 90% of his books now, and am on an unofficial mission to try and get through them all. Don’t get me wrong, there are one or two I have thought not so good, but not many. Anyway, The Dark Tower was the most eagerly anticipated of his and as soon as it was released, I had to get it – and was not disappointed. It’s the seventh book in a series he wrote over many years and at one time I wondered if we would ever see it. You could say it was an 8 book series because he added another one later on, but cleverly wrote it in as a mostly separate side story. The first in the series, The Gunslinger, was hard going and could put you off, but from book 2, The Drawing of the Three, onwards it is absolutely compelling. The kind your read multiple times. Enjoy. PS The Dark Tower film with Idris Elba was not worth it – IMHO don’t bother
