Rosemary's Baby is excellent. Ready Player One is on my list as well. Good luck with your challenge.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to all of these! I'm glad I'm not the only one who hasn't read Ready Player One yet!!!!!!

The only book I've read is The Stationery Shop Of Tehran which I loved, I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on it

I'm excited to read it; it was buried on my TBR, and when I read the description, I can't figure out why I let it languish....it looks really good!

I am so glad you are here. I always love your lists.

Good luck and happy reading

Thank you! How could I resist a group named by Alondra? Besides, one of these days I may want to resurrect my Alondra's Fault list, in case I want to stop taking responsibility for my own actions leading to my huge TBR :)

I haven't read any of your selections but I wish you luck on your challenge.

Good luck, Jami! 🐾

Glad I'm not the only one!!!!!!

I loved Ready Player One, I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did. I also read Baby Teeth which was both fun and disturbing at the same time. :-) I'm hoping to read more of the Cormoran Strike series too, I stopped after the second book and need to get back to it. Have fun with your list!

I'm glad you both decided to fix that.

Have fun with your reading in 2022! I also haven't read Ready Player One! Based on this discussion, I'll be checking it out!

Join the club (until 2022 at least; hopefully I will accomplish this goal!)

Yikes!! Let me get outta here.... LOL

Drop Dead Gorgeous - not as funny as I had hoped; I could have done without this one.

Nine Women, One Dress - cute, funny and good for when you want something light.

Lost Dogs - an apocalypse story told from the dog's point of view; I enjoyed this one.

Welcome Home Mama & Boris - I really liked this story about a deceased veteran and his sister's journey bringing home the 2 dogs that he loved while serving in Iraq.

The Stationery Shop of Tehran (sometimes just called the Stationery Shop) - very, very good. I see the author has another book out, and I plan to read that one as well.

Good to hear this, moving it up on the list. The 2 books with dogs sound interesting, too.

I think you will enjoy it!

Paranoia was good; it was fast paced and interesting. However, since I waited until 2022 to read it, the "cutting edge" technology described at the time of its 2004 publication is a bit outdated!

Whoops, its been awhile since I updated this list! Since I last updated my list, I read Baby Teeth (not as good as I hoped, but still pretty good); Wither (no need for me to continue this YA series; it was very formulaic); The Arrangement (suspenseful with lots of twists; will continue with this trilogy); Ghostwriter (enjoyable as always from this author); What A Dog Knows (I love my dog themed books!!!); and West With Giraffes (very interesting, based on actual events).

Congratulations, it looks like you finished 12 of your books. :-)

Well done, Jami!

Lea wrote: "Congratulations, it looks like you finished 12 of your books. :-)"

Yes! I am planning on finishing the last 4 in the next 2 months; they are all books I want to read.

Right?? I am so behind. I wait until someone has 3 comments before I comment, so that I don't spam someones thread. Sometimes, I miss stuff.

I finished yesterday with Ready Player 1. What a great way to finish the list. I absolutely loved this book and was entertained throughout. This has been languishing on my TBR, despite Alondra's "suggestions" that I get to it LOL! (BTW, this is one of my "Alondra's Fault" books)

🎉📚Congratulations Jami📚💖

Alondra’s “suggestions” are almost always great reads but glad you waited so you can end the challenge on a high note.

To follow the Alondra’s Fault theme it might make the 12+4 challenge for next year all books she has suggested, great reading in 2023.

Thanks Beth! I actually did name my challenge a few years ago as Alondra's Fault; I think I did that two years in a row. I keep threatening her I am going to bring it back! I got a lot of laughs out of that and we had some fun with it!

Not you too, Beth! I just try to help and fill in the gaps where I can. Enabling is good, right??

Hah! Once I mentioned your name to the Library Police, they said that they understand, because they too have experienced the "Alondra's Fault" effect on their TBR!!!! :)

The Library Police are scary; but I don't feel guilty!! 🙃😈
