All because I finished the first set in the first month of the quarter lol. So I have decided to add 5 more. No stakes (there has never been any stakes)

1. There There by Tommy Orange
   • I believe I bought this book in London but it’s about Native’s that live in Oakland. I physically own this book but already rented a digital copy to read (not audiobook!!!) let’s see how long I last actually reading it before I either give up or check out the audiobook
2. And Then? And Then? What Else? by Daniel Handler
   • I saw this book originally back in May at a book store in Salt Lake City. I didn’t buy the book then but I did put it on my list. I had been working a job that was miserable and also had something that felt really big and sad going on in my life so I checked out the audiobook from the library cause it felt not as happy and nooooo romance.
3. Sounds Like Love by Ashley Posten
   • One of my library’s that I use a lot only had audiobooks on an app called “Boundless” and I hated the UI so much. But I liked all her other books so wanted to give this one a try too but that was before my major decline in my opinions in romance but I don’t want to ignore it completely cause that will make me a cynic. Although I finally got the book on the superior app (Libby) but started it again, when I was working a not fun gig and was going through something. But I will finish ittttttt.
4. Bonds of Hercules by Jasmine Mas
   • This is a second book that I put on hold back in May, I was waiting on the book to come out sooooo long. I actually wrote about this book in a different app so that way I wouldn’t forget it. Maybe I will transfer it over here before I write on this book. I am excited about this one but also like not? Cause there was crazy abuse in the other one but she like falls in love with her abuser which is insane but also it is Greek mythology so we know how those go. Basically this is NOT as wholesome as The Song of Achilles.
5. The Egg by Andy Weir
   • This is a short story that my boss shared with me to read. Like I believe it only has 3 pages so I will read it in no time. He said it sounded similar to a book I have summarized here called Reincarnation Blues (which I highly rated)

I don’t have the book cover art for these yet, I’ll edit this when I do laterrrrrr.

Edit 11/25/25: finally adding the cover art in lol except I am missing There There because I haven’t read it yet oops but I have read all the others!!
