Reading Thread/Goals for 2025

5/32 - A Grave Every Mile by David Fitz-Gerald

Description:
"Dorcas Moon and her family set forth in search of opportunity and a brighter future. Yet, what awaits them is a relentless gauntlet of life-threatening challenges: miserable weather, ravenous insects, scorching sunburns, and unforgiving terrain. It's not merely a battle for survival but a test of their unity and sanity.

Amidst the chaos, Dorcas faces ceaseless trials: her husband's unending bickering, her daughter's descent into madness, and the ever-present danger of lethal rattlesnakes, intensifying the peril with each step. The specter of death looms large, with diseases spreading and the eerie howls of rabid wolves piercing the night. Will the haunting image of wolves desecrating a grave push Dorcas over the edge?

With each mile, the migration poses a haunting question: Who will endure the relentless quest to cross the continent, and who will leave their bones to rest beside the trail? The pathway is bordered by graves, a chilling reminder of the steep cost of dreams."

This is book #1 of the Ghosts Along the Oregon Trail series. I have always been interested in the Oregon Trail and saw this book series on Kindle Unlimited. I enjoyed the first book, and plan on eventually reading the other books in the series.

#3 - The Way of Kings (First book in the Stormlight Archives series) by Brandon Sanderson
Genre - Fantasy
Enjoyed reading this book!

I tried reading Without Remorse by Ava Strong but just couldn't get into it.
 
3. Looking For Jane by Heather Marsh. Multi timeline story of women , motherhood, pregnancy, and choices. Or the lack of them. Parts of this are powerful. Timely indeed.
 
#3/56-"The Faculty Lounge", Jennifer Mathieu. An interesting description of the experiences of various teachers who all meet in a high school faculty lounge. As a former high school teacher, I found myself nodding in agreement and chuckling at parts. 4 stars.
I just finished the book and really enjoyed it. I too am a former high school math teacher!

So happy you mentioned it!

#5 Fallen by Karin Slaughter. The next book in the Will Trent series. A lot of characters in this book. Hard to put down.
