They are easy to read, but still exciting and page turners to me. I love the towns they are situated in, esp. Pajaro Bay. This year I had 3 new books to read in both the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/series\/87949-pajaro-bay\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pajaro Bay<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/series\/274168-carita-cove\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Carita Cove<\/a> series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"h3post wp-block-heading\">Jean M Auel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then I wanted to read one book of the Earth&#8217;s Children series about Ayla, who grew up in the Clan of the Cavebear and went to search for her own kind of people. I struggled a bit with this second book, esp. all the corny adult scenes after she gets together with Jondalar. But I decided to continue and when they end up living with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/49824.The_Mammoth_Hunters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mammoth Hunters in book 3<\/a>, the rich descriptions of how they lived there captivated me. I just kept reading until I finished the whole series, all six books! The last books were not nearly as good anymore, but I finished the series for the first time. It was a re-read (in English this time) of book 1-4, 5 and 6 were new to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was done just around the end of the year. In the beginning of 2022 I picked up a few new-to-me writers, read some more Barbara Cool Lee and finally continued with my Shannara saga! I just finished book 2 and am starting in book 3. But that&#8217;s for next year&#8217;s book post! \ud83d\ude42<br>Reading now: TERRY BROOKS &#8211; The Wishsong of Shannara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"h3post wp-block-heading\">2021<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>JEAN M AUEL &#8211; The Valley of Horses, The Mammoth Hunters, The Plains Of Passage, The Shelters Of Stone, The Land Of Painted Caves (Earth&#8217;s Children series 2-6, ebook)<\/li><li>BARBARA COOL LEE &#8211; Maggie and the Rattled Rake (Carita Cove mysteries 8, ebook)<\/li><li>BARBARA COOL LEE &#8211; Sunshine Cottage, Riverstone Cottage (Pajaro Bay series 7-8, ebook)<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s my annual list of read books, the books I read in 2021.
