Books Read: 3rd Quarter 2025

I am still working on getting my reading in every day. Some days I just do not have the brain power to read at the end of the day. For the 3rd quarter of 2025 I finished 4 books.

1) Own Your Past Change Your Future: A Not-So Complicated Approach to Relationships, Mental Health & Wellness by John Delony - I found Dr. Delony through some videos on Facebook. I really enjoyed his no nonsense but kind and caring approach to the callers to his show. His voice really comes across in this book and I also enjoyed that he shared his own issues and struggles.

2) And the Killer Is ... : A Savannah Reid Mystery by G.A. McKevett - this is the 25th book in the series. In this book Savannah is helping her friend solve the murder of his friend, a former Hollywood starlet, while taking in a child after her husband arrests his mother. This is one of my favorite cozy series and I enjoyed this one.

3) Outliers: The Stories of Success by Malcolm Gladwell - I have always been interested in nature versus nurture. This book is an interesting look and what makes some people successful while others who should also succeed don't.

4) The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot - I have heard about Henrietta Lacks' story but only had a general idea of what occurred. The book was an interesting look at what happened and also how Henrietta's living children dealt with what happened to their mother.
