Goodreads/TBR Monday – The Enoch Effect

Goodreads Monday/TBR Monday is hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog and invites you to post about what books are on your Goodreads “to read” lists or TBR lists, the progress you have made on your current books and reading challenges, and any other bookish news!

♦♦♦

Okay so from now on, unless a book bumps to the front of list, I am going to go down the list from the books that have been on my TBR the absolute longest. It is getting harder to pick which books to post on these memes so that will just take the choice out of it for me lol.

This weeks book is a bit different from what I normally read and that is The Enoch Effect by Rick Acker. It is classified as Christian fiction, legal thriller, with mystery and suspense and is the first book in the Leigh Collins series.

Synopsis

Insurance litigator Leigh Collins has a knack for turning up that missing e-mail that wins the day or breaking down complex facts to sway a jury. So she’s hoping to make partner with her latest case: cancer researcher Dr. Elijah Rhodes and his life’s work are lost in a lab fire, and Biosolutions looks to cash in on a $100 million policy. Unfortunately, she’s up against Daniel Rubinelli, assistant general counsel for the biotech giant, who has a personal vendetta against cancer. In court, Leigh and Daniel clash from the beginning, ensuring a grueling case.

But soon greater concerns emerge. The late doctor might have found a “kill switch” for cancer cells—potentially wiping the disease off the face of the earth. While most of his findings were lost in the fire, he likely backed up his data, though encrypted beyond recovery.

Now, in this edge-of-your-seat thriller, two contentious lawyers must set aside their differences to locate the research before the doctor’s greatest discovery falls into the wrong hands…and the secret to life ends in death.

Updates

I have begun reading my final book needed for my 2026 Goodreads goal. It is Falling Into Us by Denise Hunter and I am about 20% of the way through the ARC version. I am enjoying the story so far and the writing is very good as well so I am hoping to end the challenge strong for sure!

I am still debating on which audiobook to listen to next!

My Goodreads 2026 Reading Challenge

47/48 (98%)

I think after this challenge is done, I will focus more on my StoryGraph challenge and finish those prompts out since I only have four left I do believe.

  1. That sounds like an interesting book. The sort of thing that I would enjoy.

    I am also running out of books to feature 🤣

    Well done on your goal! That’s amazing! I really need to focus on my 20 Books of Summer Challenge. So far I have read 1/10 🙄😂

    Enjoy your current read!

    1. Its like, I have a ton of books to choose from but since I got out of order, I have to go back and check if I have done that specific book or not lol so I am just going down the list now.

      Thank you so much! You got it!! I am guessing the Books of Summer challenge ends when summer does? If that is the case, you still have almost two months!

      Thank you 🙂

      1. I have to have a check list otherwise it would be carnage 😂😂

        It does. My problem is that for the Summer Challenge I use my physical books from my TBR shelves. In-between those I then go on Blog Tours and get Netgalley books – I don’t always request them, I get sent them 😂 nightmare – in a good way 😂

        I therefore don’t get the challenge completed until nearly the end of the year 😂

      2. I see!
        Nah I can see where juggling challenges on top of being gifted ARCs could get out of hand rather quickly!
        It is perfectly okay to not complete a challenge in the timeframe. Its mainly just about enjoying the journey you know. If you do end up being successful even if it is a bit late, that is still a lot to be proud of!

      3. It does! Yes. I just find it hard so try to go for achievable challenges. My brain adds extra pressure 🤣

  2. It really interesting. thanks for sharing .

    1. It does! Thank you for visiting!

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
