2025 Reading Challenge discussion

Hi,
My goal is 200. So far I have read. So far I have read 32 in the middle of 3. Ones an Arc so i am giving an review. I won it no strings attached but I would like to do it anyway. It's called when dreams descend. Other I started was Crescent City by SJMS. The third I'm reading out of order Ruler of the realm byHerbie Brennan.

A book I really liked was the Paragon Hotel It was amazing I read it 02/18-02/20 finished it wow It was amazing. It was a very unexpected finish a lot of parts had me crying. very unusual book. Italian back east mob, Segregation, Prohibition. When I read time period based books especially involving segregation it phases me. Like to kill a mockingbird I love that book, saw the play when it came to long beach in 2005. I loved the sequel a lot.

Now Stalking Jack the ripper series I accidentally read out of order because I couldn't get the books in order at the time. Not too much of a fan of Stalking jack the ripper or the last one Capturing the devil. ( By Kerri Maniscalo)

For a book Club The remains of the day by Kazuo Ishiguro was required. ( we haven't talked about it yet. ) But oh my god! It's a little hard to understand because its another world ( British)

I still can't get through the lumenires OH my gosh.

I finished the Canterbury papers. ( it was a reread from eons ago) I was going through my physical book shelf rearranging it and found it! The canterbury papers has to do with Alais Capet, Elenor of Aquaitne ghosts that should be buried that could effect their throne and King John. Now I'm rereading I, Eliza hamilton.
