I finished reading both "Christmas In Bethel" by Richard Paul Evans and "The Christmas Blessing" by Donna VanLiere to close out the year 2024. Compared to his previous Christmas novels, Evans' 2024 novel was underwhelming; though I did shed a few tears near the end of the book. Hopefully, next year's Christmas book will be better. "The Christmas Blessing," the second book in VanLiere's "The Christmas Shoes" series, was similarly emotion-inducing. I'm already anticipating next year's holiday "journey"! Shockingly, I read 15 books this year! Yay, me! I finished off this year with "How The Grinch Stole Christmas" and "How The Grinch Lost Christmas," both by the late Dr. Seuss (born Theodore Seuss Geisel)
I've already planned out my reading "journey" for 2025. I'm starting the year off with "Michael Vey: The Colony," the final book in the series by Richard Paul Evans.
After saving Tara and Jack--and losing a few of their own--in a dramatic battle in the Peruvian jungle against the Elgen offshoot the Chasqui, the Electroclan has returned to the US to regroup. But their downtime is brief, as Abi--who was abducted from her college dorm--is still missing.
Piecing together what few clues they have from video footage of the abduction as well as some additional information from Grace, whose consciousness has broken free from her physical body and connected with worldwide intelligence, they determine that she is being held somewhere in Peru by the leader of a group of other electrics known as the Colony. And so--once again joining forces with Alpha Team for a dual-pronged attack--they return to South America for a rescue mission.
They've fought--and won--against incredible odds before. But they've never had to face off against others with powers similar to--and potentially stronger--than their own. Still, with the life of one of the Electroclan members at stake, failure is simply not an option as they take on their final mission.
Wow! What an awesome way to start off my reading "journey" in 2025!
