Here are more book ratings for celebrity book clubs. This one is for Reese’s Book Club. I’m first doing 2022; next up should be 2023.
A little more than half of these are rated high, and those that aren’t are moderate. So if you’re a regular visitor to this site, you may not feel inclined to read a lot of them. But it’s still good to have the information. That’s my mantra and the raison d’être of Rated Reads: provide you, the reader, with the information you need to make whatever choice you’d like to make about your reading material.
Nearly half of these are Rapid Ratings, in part because of my own preferences, and in part because I wanted to get the information on here faster than I could if I read them all. I read The Marriage Portrait; Wrong Place, Wrong Time; Counterfeit; The Christie Affair; Anatomy; The Club; and Honor. I thought Wrong Place, Wrong Time was an excellent thriller with quite a twist (but could we take out those many f-words?)! The Club is also a pretty good thriller. Counterfeit is interesting to see how the luxury counterfeit industry works, honestly. The Christie Affair was so-so. Honor was tough but valuable. The Marriage Portrait is beautifully written but not my favorite of O’Farrell’s books. And Anatomy I really loved: one of my favorite genres.
