Maybe I would have given some of them less, but like Astrid before me, you can't give half stars on Goodreads. I listened to Ophie's Ghosts and it was narrated by Bahni Turpin. Almost anything she narrates is worth 5 stars.

It sounds like you had a fantastic reading week indeed.

I've actually seen a ton of praise for Ghost Girl, but it's neat to see that it stood out to you among the crowd of MG books. (And I love the emoji you use for half-stars!) And I've had a few 5-star reads so far, although a lot were December reads I'm just now posting about (and the January one I won't be reviewing for a while)—the one today is another MG novel called The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane! And I'm glad what you're reading now is reasonably enjoyable.

I've had a few 5 heart reads this year. One Step Too Far by Lisa Gardner, Hellbent by Gregg Hurwitz. I've been doing LOTS of reading though. I'm glad there is a long weekend for many with the weather snow/freezing rain here. I can drive in it having lived in Minnesota many years but I don't trust the drivers from here. Happy reading!<br /><br />Anne - Books of My Heart This is my <a href="https://booksofmyheart.net/2022/01/16/sunday-post-16-January-2022/" rel="nofollow">Sunday Post</a><br />Northwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15183347776053575038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572136475100574200.post-63226875129808171632022-01-16T12:21:05.390-06:002022-01-16T12:21:05.390-06:00We do have a 3 day weekend.
