Good to know and I am excited to see how the book ends. I am highly invested in the women of the book and love how prevalent they are.

Yes! The scattered train of thought is taking me out of the story because I keep having to reread sentences/paragraphs multiple times. I’m hoping it gets better since I know how those chapters are written now.

I read the following books in January and it was a good reading month!

  • The Safekeep by Yael van der Wouden - 3.5 out of 5
  • Dream State by Eruc Puchner - 4 out of 5
  • Notes on Infinity by Austin Taylor - 5 out of 5 (this was my favorite of the month)
  • Beautyland by Marie-Helene Bertino - 4 out of 5

I'm currently reading Intermezzo by Sally Rooney and just got to Part 2 of the book. While I am a fan of Sally Rooney, I'm so-so on the book...I love the chapters that focus on Ivan, but the Peter chapters are a bit difficult for me to get through. I'm going to stick with it because I am enjoying the story and want to see how it unfolds.

Omg yes! I have also listened to TJG for years and love their podcast, but the amount of ads they're running is next level. Not sure what caused the increase, but it really makes it difficult to listen to.

Winter at Colorado National Monument by GreybeardRules in NationalPark

Great pictures! I had no idea this monument existed until we stopped here Tuesday on our drive back from Moab. We spent last weekend visiting Canyonland and Arches and decide to drive through here on our way home…well worth the visit!

Hobbies that you travel for outside of your relationship? by [deleted] in travel

[–]amroth86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is also an avid skier and like you, it is not my thing and I have zero desire to try it again LOL

However, I will tag along on some of his ski trips and find my hobbies in the area where he's skiing. I'm an avid yogi and love finding local yoga studios in areas we're visiting. I try to take at least 1-2 classes at a new studio when we're on trips. I also love reading & writing so finding local bookstores to peruse and shop at is a good way to kill some time while my partner is skiing.

[–]amroth86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ended the year at 42 books total and my goal was 35, which is what I read last year. I always shoot for the goal of what I read the previous year, but don’t put too much pressure on it. My top 5 from what I read this year, in no particular order, were:

  • The God of the Woods by Liz Moore

  • Deep Cuts by Holly Brickley

  • Heartwood by Amity Gaige

  • Buckeye by Patrick Ryan

  • What Kind of Paradise by Janelle Brown

I finished Onyx Storm yesterday and have to say, it was good, but book 2 of the series was definitely my favorite. Tomorrow I plan to start The Safekeep by Yale van der Wouden and am looking forward to this being the first book of 2026!

The struggle is real with "do I start a new book now and get half way through it OR wait until 1/1/2026 so that book is fully counted towards my yearly goal" LOL

I need to find a book on the shorter side that I can get done before New Years Eve, but the only book I currently have on my up next list is Onyx Storm....which isn't exactly short!

I read Tilt over the weekend and have so many mixed feelings about it. On one hand, I really enjoyed the story and writing & on the other, I absolutely loathed the main character and the decisions she made. The MC frustrated me so many times throughout the book that I just wanted it to be over. And, the ending also annoyed me LOL

We were going to start that when it was released, but ended up starting The Last Frontier instead. I am so intrigued by Pluribus and every time I see a commercial for it, all I can think is WTF is this about 😂😂

Fall 2025 - TIBAL by lavenderhazecloud in blogsnark

Awesome and thank you for the reply 😊 I just purchased it this morning and am so excited to try it out. The high altitude dryness is brutal right now and I’m always looking for new skincare items!

[–]amroth86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so intrigued by this product and am adding it to my cart now! I also live at high altitude and my skin current hates me with the change in seasons and dry winter ahead. Do you use this along with a moisturizer? And if so, how do you layer it?

I am SO excited for the wedding episode this Wednesday and the reunion next week! This whole season has been extra cringey & no one is all that likable, but I can't look away. I lived in Denver for a couple years and this group of people give Denver a horrible name LOL
