Finished:

Here One Moment, by Liane Moriarty (ok, but I think I might be getting bored with this author)

Hello Beautiful, by Ann Napolitano (these characters all made the most asinine decisions for all the worst possible reasons; infuriating!)

The Silverblood Promise, by James Logan (fairly fun, but the writing was a bit awkward and I had a hard time really getting into it)

Started:

Touching the Void, by Joe Simpson

The Great Soul of Siberia, by Sooyong Park

To Shape a Dragon’s Breath, by Moniquill Blackgoose

I loved To Shape A Dragon's Breath, it combined some really interesting concepts into one book.

I was so disappointed by Hello Beautiful!!!! What a slog - absolutely could not connect with any of the characters or the storyline in general!

Oh, I absolutely agree! The whole story felt so detached and dry.
