Ann (annrumsey) | 16959 comments DJ: that definitely will lower a rating if a character is grating. Thanks!

Donnajo | 4354 comments Yes, it ended up in the LFL this past weekend. Maybe someone else will give it a better rating.

Donnajo | 4354 comments UPDATED:
I was off track a little bit on the top 10 so I added book I missed plus moved books down list. I do have more to add to the top 10 but going to hold off starting another Top 10 list until I finish #13 & 22.

I'm working on Recommended to me (#13) not sure if I'll make it to the end it's Butcher & Blackbird by Brynne Weaver (recommended from bookstore owner). Kind of not my usual type of book but I've heard good reviews on it.

Donnajo | 4354 comments UPDATED: #13. Only one more to go and I think I'll use the one I started yesterday. It's the trade size but I've had the hardcover on my bookcase for years. I have to double check the year against another one I had put aside.

Ann (annrumsey) | 16959 comments DJ: glad you found a good recommended entry for #13. Only one to go is terrific! Congrats.

Donnajo | 4354 comments Thanks. I know hopefully I’ll be able to use the Kristin Hannah book for last prompt.
